hondo in seattle Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) It's just been reported that the Bills have requested permission to interview Kyle Shanahan for our vacant HC position. We've already interviewed Mike Shanahan and that interview supposedly went well. I remember when DJ was fired, some on the board were saying Mike Shanahan would be an acceptable HC coach as long as he didn't bring his son along with him. Now we're interviewing the son, supposedly for the HC position. But could a package deal be in the works? Could Whaley and the Pegulas be considering bringing both Shanahans here?

gordong Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Where did you read that the interview went well with Mike? I think Mike could be the press. with the Kyle the coach maybe? Edited January 6, 2015 by gordong
Lurker Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) I'm starting to get the sense that Pegs has told Whaley "I want us to interview every living HC candidate in the world, including Buddy the Wonder Dog. I'll write the check for whatever it takes." Probably an accomodation to Shanny the Elder who pitched his kid to the Bills. I'm not sure this is a good idea, however...

Big Blitz Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 It was Kyle that reinvented the Skins offense to fit RGIII. Not Mike. Not sure I hate it. He's in my top 5.
Tintonfallsbillsfan Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Maybe it is Mike as pres and his son as coach, nothing is far fetched at this point got to figure unless it is a Seattle coach we are about a week away from some answers
fridge Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) What's the point of all these interviews if they're just gonna pull this nepotistic crap? Edited January 6, 2015 by fridge
4BillsintheBurgh Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Actually, I'm thinking their plane runs on natural gas. Sky's the limit, interview everyone.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I'll be beside myself if we hire Kyle. I'll be beside myself if we hire either one of them. There both losers of the highest order, especially "perpetually pained expression Mike."
hondo in seattle Posted January 6, 2015 Author Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) The Cleveland Plain Dealer now reporting it is indeed a package deal. http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/01/3_teams_interested_in_kyle_sha.html 49ers and Raiders reportedly considering the same package. Where did you read that the interview went well with Mike? I think Mike could be the press. with the Kyle the coach maybe? I spent the past 10 minutes googling and can't find where I saw that. I won't say it was a reputable source because I just don't remember. My apologies. Edited January 6, 2015 by hondo in seattle
Jauronimo Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) What's the point of all these interviews if they're just gonna pull this nepotistic crap? How would Paligula hiring Shanahan and son constitute nepotism? Edited January 6, 2015 by Jauronimo
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I'll be beside myself if we hire Kyle. In what way?
billsfanmd07 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Living down here in MD. All we heard was RG3 24 hours a day. Have no idea what to think about this move. I know in pressers Shanny was always in defense mode.
YoloinOhio Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 She's usually wrong ftr @MaryKayCabot: At least 3 teams considering Mike and Kyle Shanahan as a package deal: 49ers, Raiders and Bills. Kyle also Bills HC candidate.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2015/01/03/49ers-considering-shanahan-shanahan-15-year-master-plan-oh-man/ What do you think of this plan? I think the author, Tim Kawakami, raises some cogent objections to the plan. Kyle Shanahan is like Reich, only less so: a young guy, very wet behind the ears, unclear what his skill level is as of yet. One year in, the Browns offense wasn't exactly lighting the league on fire. MIke Shanahan expects to run the show, has a "meh" record for the last decade plus, and it's notorious that dads tend to be unobjective about their sons. Shanahan isn't exactly going to be poised to leave Schwartz and the D alone, either. He'll want his own guys. I don't want either of them, frankly. Actually, I'm thinking their plane runs on natural gas. Sky's the limit, interview everyone. They certainly appear to be interviewing every candidate any other team is considering and a few more. Maybe it is Mike as pres and his son as coach, nothing is far fetched at this point got to figure unless it is a Seattle coach we are about a week away from some answers That is just such a bad idea (dad pres son coach). It's like Wilson and his untouchable cronies, redux and related by blood.

It's like Wilson and his untouchable cronies, redux and related by blood. Things are really starting to get interesting.Im sure the Bills have multiple ideas/plans-at least I hope so. Reich/Schwartz is also plausible
