Green Lightning Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 According to WGR yesterday (joe B I think) the coach will report directy to Pegula, not Whaley That's a bad omen. Automatic power struggle. Particularly with a guy like Shanahan. You got to be wary about him after that spectacular flame out in Washington.
billsfan_34 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Why not ! Snyder is a meddler and no one can be succesful in skin land !
papazoid Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 shanny is king of DEAD MONEY.....left denver with $30 mil in players not on team.
YoloinOhio Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 @mikerodak: Bills setting up interview with Mike Shanahan, per @AdamSchefter: http://t.co/gghP3iELJO
GoPre Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 WHY??? The game has passed him by. No old and worn out retreads please. Same was said about Dick Vermeil. He brought a Super Bowl title to St. Louis. Please don't use the he's too old argument for any coach the Bills are considering.
beerme1 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 WHY??? The game has passed him by. No old and worn out retreads please. Did you feel that way after RG3 first season?
HOUSE Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 WHY??? The game has passed him by. No old and worn out retreads please. And why has the game passed him by ? I see no proof of that
BuffaninATL Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Interesting thought, and an idea I would support. No thanks to Wanny for HC. I'd rather have one of the young, innovative offensive minds (Bevell/Gase). Wanny? please no
r00tabaga Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Get it done!! Cutler or Cousins too! Running game would be an immediate fix. Schwartz would stay. I'm missing what the negative parts would be.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Wanny? please no LOL....good god no! Don't know why that name crawled out of my subconscious. PTSD maybe?
Manther Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 My honest opinion on Shanahan. I don't give him a pass for Washington. He is not my first choice or a top 5 choice. I wouldn't hate it as we need to fix the offense as long as Schwartz stays. But, I am not even kidding, I don't think I could look at his orange face on the sidelines! If he wins and gets us to the playoffs I could.
Omar Little Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 No one denies the big numbers out up by Griffin in his rookie year. What people will debate though is his "greatness" that was ruined by injury as you like to tout. I posit that he was never great and that he's one and done because of a gimmick offense that was not sustainable (see other read option baby named Kaepernick) . If he can't adjust to running an offense like a traditional drop back QB, he will be no more than a footnote in history. The read-option is not a gimmick; it continues to be effective and teams are using the hell out of it.

BackInDaDay Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) I could be on board with this. Here are the pros: 1. Successful head coach, Redskins stint notwithstanding. 2. Would make it less likely for Schwartz to kvetch over being passed over meaning defense stays intact. 3. Can establish a running game from thin air. 4. Knows how to beat Belichick. I say do it. agree with everything except number 3. once he's got that outside zone cookin, it's tought to stop - check the number of backs, other than TD, that had carreer years cutting back through the Denver outside zone.. the thing is, he's gonna bring in a new elephant herder to thin out our O line - both literally, and figuratively - and he'll need a commitment from the GM that this is doable to a degree this season. another concern is his WCO roots in the timed passing game.. but if his offensive mind can't integrate better vertical schemes to mask EJ's innacuracy on timing routes - i don't know who can. .. and if anyone thinks the Bills are going to hire a HC that doesn't have a plan to salvage their first round pick - better think again. remember - barring any unforseen events (the Buffalo kiss of death, if there ever was one ) with our D, we don't have to lead the league in scoring.. we just have to get average NFL production from our O to make the post-season.

eme123 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 ummm..... Pegula knows Zilch about football!!! Just look at all of his interviews since he bought the team. Clueless

truth on hold Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Arrogant and a control freak but better than marrone. His redskin record not nearly as bad as people think because he did get them to playoffs Edited January 3, 2015 by JTSP
4merper4mer Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I would rather have Hackett promoted to HC than waste three years with Shanny.
