filthymcnasty08 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 While we're consultant shopping, please interview Rex before he goes to another team. Will ya, please?
A Dog Named Kelso Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 The interesting thing is that HOF voting is 31 January. Polian CANT take a job before then or he is ineligible. I wonder if this report is just out there just so that it doesnt impact the HOF vote in 4 weeks....then Polian joins the Bills. Just a random thought... This is my thought too. I think he is pretty upset about the leaks about joining after the HOF vote.
filthymcnasty08 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 39s39 seconds ago Well-placed source: Polian's decision on Bills shifted in past day. Major factor in change of heart was talking to Marrone, who ripped org. Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 50s51 seconds ago Everything was lined up for Polian to return to Bills just 24 hours ago. But he is a big fan of Marrone's and trusts his opinion. Its an organization transitioning to a new owner for Christ's sake! One that he would be able to mold…this is getting weirder by the minute.
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 41s41 seconds ago #Bills source: push for Polian was real b/c of his initial interest. Everyone's in play, but it will be awhile for "czar" and especially HC.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone again comes across as a bitter bastard.
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Its an organization transitioning to a new owner for Christ's sake! One that he would be able to mold…this is getting weirder by the minute. I honestly think it is the entire HOF thing. Marrone opting out increased the speculation so much, that this is the direction Polian needed to go in...
YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Well if he envisioned Orton as his QB then this again is great news. no doubt.

It's not his fault the offense was horrible it's the new owners who have only been in place for 2 months.
Coach Tuesday Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone again comes across as a bitter bastard. I'm telling you, he's one of the all-time biggest a-holes.
YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone ripped the organization to Polian? Who did he rip? The pegulas?
Tyrod's Tailor Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone ripped the organization to Polian? Who did he rip? The pegulas? probably whoever posted on the internet that he had cancer without his permission.
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 This is my thought too. I think he is pretty upset about the leaks about joining after the HOF vote. The HOF said he can still be nominated. The problem is the voters won't vote for someone who is still working or appears to want it. Their view of the HOF is once the book is fully written - Hence the reason Parcells never gets in... I am sure he is furious about this...
YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Marrone looks very bad here. At least we don't need to worry about Reich as HC now.
BuffaloPride Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 This news makes me want Schwartz as HC even more. We need some freaking continuity. Agreed. Promote Pepper Johnson to defensive coordinator and find a good offensive coordinator. The players like Schwartz and we need to maintain some level of continuity.
MDH Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Yep. Although if he wasn't planning on hiring coaches and staff anyway, or doing any heavy lifting, he wasn't taking on any kind of GM role. So the whole thing is murky. Yeah, I read those quotes as basically, "They were going to pay me a lot of money to do very little and when it became clear to me I'd have to put in a lot of work it didn't sound like a great job."
YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 @ProFootballTalk: It's funny, but not surprising, to see how the ESPN crowd tiptoes around Bill Polian.
Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk 18s19 seconds ago It's now undeniable that Bills ownership was negotiating with Bill Polian and current CEO Russ Brandon had no idea it was happening.
Lurker Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Agreed. Promote Pepper Johnson to defensive coordinator and find a good offensive coordinator. The players like Schwartz and we need to maintain some level of continuity. "I think in my career it's the one thing we haven't done or we haven't tried," Williams said. "Hopefully with the way we competed this year, the spirit we had this year, close but no cigar. My dad always used to tell me close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but I think we've got an opportunity to be a good football team going forward. it would always be a setback if you have massive, massive overhaul. Like I said, that's the one thing we haven't done is have continuity." http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2015/01/buffalo_bills_players_hoping_not_to_lose_jim_schwartz_think_he_deserves_chance_t.html
Peter Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I do not know what to believe. December 31 - reports that Marrone opted out because he was afraid of football czar - i.e Polian. January 1 - reports that Polian had a change of heart because Marrone left. One of the above might make sense, but not BOTH.
