RuntheDamnBall Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm not saying this because I'm frustrated. I'm only asking because I'm curious if anyone with the inside info knows how long they plan to take with this hire. I have to imagine there are advantages to hiring earlier (getting all the good assistants, etc) but you also lose out on some of the best / contender candidates if you haven't gotten a chance to interview them yet. My hope is that they have someone in place or have at least agreed to terms prior to the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Once someone hires a coach, the rest of the dominos will fall. No rush until then. I'd rather the Bills get this right. The team is so freaking close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 with as many people they plan on interviewing and considering there will most likely be a second round of interviews and maybe even a third i am not expecting anyone hired for a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Bills were the first coaching hire with Marrone in 2013 because he was supposedly the other hot college coach beside Kelly. Oddly, no hot names this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is so freaking close Agreed. Two things are exciting me about next season: The Bills doing better than last year and whichever team Marrone ends up coaching, doing worse than the Bills.

Maddog69 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 New coach will be hired before the end of next week. Probably by this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 New coach will be hired before the end of next week. Probably by this weekend. The Bills can't possibly wait that long. There is competition for coaches. I would say Weds at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing a thorough search and will hopefully find the right coach this time (which ultimately won't matter unless they find a QB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing a thorough search and will hopefully find the right coach this time (which ultimately won't matter unless they find a QB). Some of these coaches will receive multiple offers, YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE, its that simple. The decision on Marrone was not a mistake. He did well Edited January 5, 2015 by HOUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fair amount of luck as well as skill in hiring a great coach, all you can do is follow the process. Allowing yourself to be intimidated into making a harsh decision could set us back along long way.

Beef Jerky Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Better not take very long. The offseason isn't very long and LOTS of work needs to be done before then. The Bills were the first coaching hire with Marrone in 2013 because he was supposedly the other hot college coach beside Kelly. Oddly, no hot names this time around. The hot names are Marrone and Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I want a coach who wants to be here, not one looking for the best offer. I'm not worried about hiring quickly, I'm worried about hiring correctly. The Bills need to do both otherwise the best coaches can't afford to turn down other offers. The teams that snooze will end up hiring another guy that really doesn't want to be here but a job is a job. I do understand what you are saying though...........

Max997 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 New coach will be hired before the end of next week. Probably by this weekend. so you expect them to complete 10 interviews and possibly follow up interviews then hire someone before the weekend? i dont see how that happens...maybe if they were only looking at 4-5 but 10, no way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Depends on who they like. If it's a guy like Bevell, perhaps not until February (if Seattle goes to the Superbowl). If they are bent on hiring Reich, then it could happen as soon as this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 get Rex in here and take him to Anchor Bar and things should be sealed and delivered by the end of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBills Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Bills can't possibly wait that long. There is competition for coaches. I would say Weds at the latest. Bills also have entire defensive staff in place and mostly under contract. Good possibility we will not be turning over ENTIRE coaching staff like in years past.
