Heitz Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I was listening to Sirius on my long ass drive home tonight and caught a lot of Late Hits with Vic Carucci and former Bill Kirk Morrison. The opened talking about the Bills situation and talked a bit about the Head Coach interview process. We're talking to a ton of coaches, and obviously it's a chance for the Pegula's to "interview coaches" (obviously), but it's also a chance for them to get a ton of insight on the state of their franchise and the NFL game as a whole. By asking what coaches think of our players, or what their philosophies are, who they might bring in as assistants, the Pegula's are going learn a lot. Vic made the point that while the stability of Marrone for another year or two might have been preferred, this is actually a really GOOD process for the Pegula's to go through this early in their ownership. Can't wait to see where we end up!
Kelly the Dog Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 That's a very good point by Vic. It should have been obvious why they should be along on all of the interviews right from the beginning.
CCLXXIX Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Ditto. Here's an interview with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti discussing his hiring of John Harbough. Take note Terry and Kim. Edited January 3, 2015 by CCLXXIX
reddogblitz Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Who are all these coaches we're interviewing? The only ones I've heard of for sure are Peyton Gase, Bevell, Schwartz, and Frank.

Pretty good overview here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/12/29/top-coaching-candidates-for-nfl-openings/21023535/

However, this tells who the candidates are. Which ones are we interviewing? The 4 I listed are the ones I saw on NFL.com. I've also heard Quinn somewhere.

I was going mostly by Sirius, WGR and Twitter, not sure there's an official list, we can't be interviewing every candidate I've seen on TBD, can we be?
Last Guy on the Bench Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Ditto. Here's an interview with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti discussing his hiring of John Harbough. Take note Terry and Kim. That was interesting, thanks. I think John Harbaugh is one of the best two or three coaches in the game, but he seems to fly under the radar. The Ravens are always in it - they have a solid QB but not a HOFer. They come to play against the best teams. Between Harbaugh and Ozzie, the Ravens are always gonna be competitive. I hope the Pegulas can land a coach like that and I hope Whaley turns into that kind of consistent GM (or that that they find someone else who can do it). Also, that was very gracious of Belichick to support Harbaugh in that way.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Kirk Morrison??!! Not exactly a guy I would associate with the bills. Interesting that he is doing bills radio stuff.

Also, that was very gracious of Belichick to support Harbaugh in that way. Agreed. Living in the DC area, I get to see the difference between the way the Ravens do business vs. Dan Snyder and it's night and day. Terry and Kim should def. be involved in this search. It was interesting to hear how Harbough is not a know-it-all and still seeks others opinion and they work as a team. Owner, Team Pres., GM, Asst GM, and Coach work as a team! Marrone did not sound like that kind of team player.
OldTimer1960 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Kirk Morrison??!! Not exactly a guy I would associate with the bills. Interesting that he is doing bills radio stuff. Morrison played for the Bills.

And for the record, this wasn't Bills radio it was national Sirius - just so happened that Vic and a former Bills player were on. Good thing too, I had listened to Shopp and the Bulldog on GR for a couple hours first, I could feel myself getting dumber Edited January 3, 2015 by Heitz
