Omar Little Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 My darkhorse for HC though is Pep Hamilton. I like Rex, but if he came does he cut Schwartz loose? I don't want to see that. I agree with all of this.
TheFunPolice Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Rex is even better than Schwartz Still doesn't help the offense though
K-9 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Well, like Ghost of Dwight Drane said over at The Aud Club SabreSpace forum, Kim will be wearing sandals. GO BILLS!!!
Buffwagonscircled Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) You people who want Rex, realize he had 4 straight losing seasons with the Jets right. Edited January 7, 2015 by Buffwagonscircled
metzelaars_lives Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 If they hire Ryan, he could bring in Sanchez and all he'd have to do is get the jersey changed to red and blue on his tattoo. In all seriousness Ryan + Sanchez + a defense no better than ours + fewer offensive weapons than we have right now ='d 2 AFC championship appearances.
reddogblitz Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I think I'm in the Ryan, Schwartz or Shanny camp. Give me a coach with HC experience who has won- I'm not willing to gamble another 3 years on an unknown, promising, candidate. I'm in this camp. However I'm not sure Schwartz fits the criteria. Does playoffs once and without a win count as "has won"? You definitely have to add Kubiak. Other names to add perhaps: Jim Mora Jr. (AFC Championship Game in 2004). Also HC of Seahawks for one year. His UCLA team looks sharp. Bill Callahan (Super Bowl with Raiders loss with Rich Gannon at QB) With this awesome D we have assembled, we need to win now. Can't take a chance with one of these hot shot assistants and hope we picked the right one. When has that ever happened? My order at the moment: 1. Shanahan 2. Kubiak 3. Rex (Might not be able to wait on Kubiak though) 4. Schwartz We're hiring a Head Coach, not and Offensive Coordinator or at least not yet. Rex gets his guys to play hard. And he knows how to beat Bill Bellyache. He won't be coming to kiss Bill's rings.
Dragonborn10 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Tons of people wanted Pettine for HC instead of Marrone. Rex taught Pettine everything he knows. Our defense would be sick with a Rex/Schwartz mind meld. I've said multiple times - double down and get a defensive HC and then get a great OC. Rex, Bowles, or Quinn would be my choices. I want no part of Case or Hamilton. If they go offensive mined then swing for the fences and get Shanahan with Bevell as the fall back option.
HOUSE Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 This would be great Rex can predict a Bills Superbowl every season and most will believe him
todd Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I'm not in the Ryan camp at all. He's a buffoon with a big mouth. He'll cause controversy, and he doesn't seem like he would fit as a buffalo bill to me.
judman Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Interview rumored to be held at Dave and Busters
HOUSE Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I highly doubt this guy will be a head coach anywhere. I think he is a good coach but he has a big mouth
1billsfan Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I think that after what happened with Doug Marrone, the Bills should be VERY wary about hiring a head coach wishing he were elsewhere or having this his second or third choice of head coaching jobs. If I were interviewing him, he had better do a great convincing job me or no way do I hire him for a team that just went through a head coach that didn't want to be here and quit. The Bills would be MUCH better off with promoting Schwartz. Edited January 7, 2015 by 1billsfan
May Day 10 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I think it's the perfect match. The man can go toe to toe with belichick no matter the talent gap. Probably will want to embarrass the jets. Knows the dolphins. He is a players coach which they may need right now. The fans here will love him as he will bleed buffalo blue and red every second he is head coach. I know he had a big mouth but it seems like he has grown a lot. I think with any success and his bluster, the fans of the bills will eat it up and love the man. He has the feel of a guy who can make a 10 year run somewhere and be a hof coach. I think he was the victim of awful personnel decisions in nyc Edited January 7, 2015 by May Day 10
Last Guy on the Bench Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I'm not sure he's the right fit for this team at this time, though it would be fun to find out, and I kind of doubt he'd want to come here anyway. Atlanta makes a lot more sense for him. BUT, I love that dude. Here's a long-former from Grantland - an entertaining review of his whole history with the Jets. A great read. (Sorry if posted elsewhere. I didn't see it.) http://grantland.com/features/rexs-last-stand/ Now let's go eat a goddamn snack!
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 If Ryan did come in and we ran a 34, we'd have the personnel for it right? Especially if we resigned Spikes. It would make Hughes more expendable if he decided to test FA. Someone who's better with Xs and Os elaborate. Just thinking out loud, maybe that's one of the things the brass is taking into consideration.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I think this is Reich's job to loose. I think he would make a great HC CBF
Bleed Bills Blue Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 The man can go toe to toe with belichick... And be thrilled doing so.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I think this is Reich's job to loose. I think he would make a great HC CBF I'm curious to what makes you so sure? What has Reich done as a coach that is so great?
scribo Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I like that Jests fans were flipping out last night when the report came out the Bills were interviewing Rex. They really don't want to face him twice a year. First, the fans love him. Second, they know he can coach. That's what they were saying all over the message boards and on social last night. I put some stock in that.
Peter Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Of all the guys that the Bills are interviewing, is there anyone who would fit right in as a "Buffalo" guy more than Rex? Trivia: As I recall, Rex lived in Buffalo when he was a kid when Buddy was an assistant coach with UB. P.S. I know some of you guys will say Reich because he played with the Bills. Nevertheless, if you were to hang out with the two of them over beers for an hour and were asked which one was a Buffalo guy, I am sure most of you guys would guess Rex.
