Chandemonium Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone is probably going to poach either Henderson or Pepper Johnson to run his defense I will assume. I hope it's not Henderson. We don't have to let them go unless they get a promotion, which would be to DC. One of the good things Marrone did last year, a very good thing but a no brainer, was to not let Henderson interview with the Browns so we got to keep him. He's very, very good. I thought that all position coaches and coordinators were considered to be the same level by nfl rules, so the only way it would be a promotion would be if they were offered assistant HC.
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Prediction time: Polian named President and Football Czar. Whaley remains as GM and responsible for the roster with help from Polian. Overdorf gone and Whaley is responsible for cap; he and Polian hire a capologist. Brandon is given a promotion and new job to run the business side of Bills/Sabres/HarborCenter/New Bills Stadium. Schwartz named HC. Henderson named DC, Pepper Johnson leaves to become Marrone's DC. Schwartz gets some highly regarded OC that Pegula pays a boatload to, who may be in line if Schwartz falters. I think you nailed it... I wonder if we try to get Reich as an OC with an Assistant HC title.
DC Tom Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Well... I was more or less ambivalent about Marrone, so I'm more or less ambivalent about him leaving. Borderline pleased, if it means Hackett and Morris are gone. But what galls me is...great, again? Yet another head coach? Since Levy left, we haven't had a coach last longer than three season. I'm starting to hear calliope music. Is this insanity ever going to end?
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I can see the giving Reich the title of Associate Head Coach and OC so it is a promotion, and then he is the guy who is in line for the job. He does not deserve a HC job in any way right now. He's never really ran an offense. And yeah you came up with that too....
dwight in philly Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 as is being mentioned, could the JETS have had an inkling about this? they already did their "rooney rule" interviews.. tampering???

I'm starting to hear calliope music. Is this insanity ever going to end? think 49ers pre-Harbaugh. This could yet work out in our favor.
BaaadThingsMan Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I think you nailed it... I wonder if we try to get Reich as an OC with an Assistant HC title. This sounds ok, where do I sign?
DisplacedBillsFan Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Saying it again...Dabo Swinney! On top of being a former WR and WRs coach and proving he knows how to use Spiller and Watkins, his defenses have been solid. Well rounded coach who understands both sides of the ball, and get this, has a great personality!
kasper13 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Bills won 9 games in spite of Marrone, not because of him. They were never going to do any better if he had stayed. Never. If Polian is in fact the new President, everyone below him will be gone. We will see some familiar faces and some new ones. I know this, I'd bet we will win more than we lose. We will get a QB. We will have a 1st round draft pick in 2015 and spending MONEY is no longer an issue whether it's on coaches or players, it will be spent.
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 as is being mentioned, could the JETS have had an inkling about this? they already did their "rooney rule" interviews.. tampering??? An they thought their offense was a mess the last few seasons; wait till they get Saint Dug and the their favorite Hack of an OC's son...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I am torn on reich. I don't like the idea of hiring our greats because of the risk of having to fire them one day (eg, AVP).
Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I thought that all position coaches and coordinators were considered to be the same level by nfl rules, so the only way it would be a promotion would be if they were offered assistant HC. Technically you are right. Teams usually will not prevent a guy from getting a promotion though. They will prevent lateral moves.
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Adam Benigni @AdamBenigni 6m6 minutes ago as for @viccarucci report Marrone was upset with local media. @BudPoliquin told me at time of hire Marrone had "thin skin"... (1/2) Adam Benigni @AdamBenigni 4m4 minutes ago (2/2) suggesting he might have trouble dealing as NFL head coach.
BringBackFergy Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 But he's a big dummy. Actually just a good agent. With relocation a possibility if a new owner came along, it was probably a provision any coach would ask for. I could understand it if a new owner fired him...but he "opted out" on his own accord.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I am just glad this happened now before any other HC vacancies have been filled. Bills are getting into the HC search at the perfect time. CBF
