Mr. WEO Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Forget Schwartz (proven he is a good DC, no reason to waste HC on him). Forget Reich (not proven good at anything significant yet). Kubiak is our man. Solid offensive mind. A QB who can help EJ in a make or break season. Edited January 1, 2015 by Mr. WEO

Buftex Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 If we are going with under-achieving retreads, I would just assume go with Schwartz.
Captain_Quint Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 If we are going with under-achieving retreads, I would just assume go with Schwartz. Schwartz is a buffoon compared to Kubiak, IMO. I love him as a DC, but not head coach. An offensive mind like Kubiak would be a good move. Plus, I can do without the whole 'carry me off the field' charade.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Been saying this for a couple of weeks now. If we are going with under-achieving retreads, I would just assume go with Schwartz. Didn't he go 14-2 with Schaub? That's slightly better than under achieving
Mr. WEO Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 If we are going with under-achieving retreads, I would just assume go with Schwartz. I disagree. Kubiak is the guy we want. He is ten times the offensive mind that pea-brained Marrone was. Schwartz is a decent DC, but he lost the locker room in Detroit and the owners took notice.
agardin Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I would be OK with Kubiak. I think the Bills need an experienced NFL coach. This means that the new guy will likely be a retread. Unless there is a way to get Payton out of NO.
uncle flap Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 sorry weo http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-gary-kubiak-not-interested-in-headcoaching-vacancies-20141231-story.html
Mr. WEO Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 sorry weo http://www.baltimore...1231-story.html His team is in the playoffs. He can't say anything other than what he said in that article at this time. He will interview after his team is out. Bank on it.
zonabb Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Does it really matter who without a QB? Just consider that. Everyone calls guys like Kubiak "offensive geniuses" because why, they manage to be close to .500 eve year with subpar QBs. Guy had one winning record as a head coach. It comes down to a QB, that's it. Give me anyone and a franchise QB. Give me Vince Lombardi and fill-in-the-blank mediocre QB and you have mediocre team.
Best Player Available Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 61-64 as a hc so he has the typical won loss record the bIlls typically pursue. No thanks
Fixxxer Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 The Ravens are not letting him interview with teams as of right now and it was kind of alarming how the Ravens could not run the ball effectively this year. I wouldn't mind the choice, though you would have to check his overall health. If we bring him and retain Schwartz as the DC I think I would be excited.

He had 3 winning seasons in Houston. Matt Schaubb was his QB. He had 2 playoff seasons and advanced in each.
Fixxxer Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Nice try. He had 3 winning seasons in Houston. Matt Schaubb was his QB. He had 2 playoff seasons and advanced in each. Didn't he win a playoff game with TJ Yates as the starting QB?
GunnerBill Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Interesting idea WEO. He wouldn't be my first choice I don't think but I think we could do a lot worse. Always been able to get play action going wherever he has been and I think that could help EJ (if he starts next season a top of the depth chart) by cutting down to some half field reads.
Mr. WEO Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Didn't he win a playoff game with TJ Yates as the starting QB? Yes. 2011 against the Bengals Interesting idea WEO.

GunnerBill Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 If the Ravens go deep, every team looking will want him. I don't know. Not sure how many of the teams currently looking are in the market for retreads... but I do think that an experienced guy would be a good fit here. Could he work with Schwartz? If so that seems a solid combination to me.
The Frankish Reich Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 2 Super Bowl wins as an offensive coordinator. Yes, he had Elway (an end of career Elway), but his teams always, always, always ran the ball and blocked effectively. He would be a good choice. And as we saw with Houston, he can get the most out of quarterback like Schaub, which, unfortunately, looks like the type of quarterback we'll wind up with in 2015.

If so that seems a solid combination to me. I'd be happy with Kubiak and Schwartz, but not sure Schwartz would stick around if he doesn't get the HC gig. I could also live with Ryan as DC in such a case (and assuming he doesn't go to TV as has been rumored).
