Fredo G. Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I think there is interest from the Bills but I do believe that Rex is using the Bills to get the Falcons to give him a firm offer soonhmmm
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Heard a strong rumor tonight from someone that I believe would have access to this information, that Rex Ryan will be announced next week as the Falcons coach. I have no evidence to back his claim but I do believe him. We'll find out soon enough.
Wing Man Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Information has been so limited coming out of the Bills camp that you'd think that Whaley or Brandon are the sources of the leaks popularly given on anonymity since no formal announcement has been made. One of the more recent leaks is that the Bills are looking to second interview other candidates and possibly first interview some that aren't presently available due to playoff games. That would include Indianapolis' Pep Hamilton and New England's Josh McDaniels. Among the candidates already interviewed who could be on the second interview playoff waiting list are Seattle's Dan Quinn and Darrell Bavell and Denver's Adam Gase. If they're really excited about Rex, however, I wouldn't wait long to conduct contract negotiations. The Falcons will get their head out of their ass eventually.
ChevyVanMiller Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info, Leroi. Btw, if my high school French serves me well, Le Roi is French for The King. You sure were tonight, my friend. Edited January 11, 2015 by ChevyVanMiller

thewildrabbit Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 The reason some are mentioning Marc Trestman is because CBS sports is reporting that. "According to a report from Pro Football Talk earlier in the week, the Bills are concerned that Ryan won't be interested in taking on a team with an unsettled quarterback situation. If Ryan is offered the gig, he's interested in bringing ex-Bears coach Marc Trestman as his offensive coordinator." http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/update/24952685/report-bills-to-bring-rex-ryan-back-for-second-interview
r00tabaga Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I am thrilled. Period. I like Roman too especially if he can persuade Iupati to come. Hell I'll even take Sanchez. Played well, got his mojo back this year.

ChevyVanMiller Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 please , tommorrows headlines, Rex new Atlanta coach. Bills schooled.. Maybe, but what he predicted was that a 2nd interview would happen and he named that tune in one note.
YoloinOhio Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Pats, jets and Fish fans on Twitter all seem less than thrilled with this news
Clemson North Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Rex loved Sammy Watkins. He'd love to coach him. His son played with him at Clemson
zonabb Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I know the difference schematically between the 3-4 and 4-3 but does one fit the current personnel better? I hate the idea of the constant back and forth, in particular how the team has drafted. Last year they drafted Preston Brown based on a 4-3 and the prior Kiko based on a 3-4. I don't pretend to understand how different players fit one over the other!!!
YoloinOhio Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) @KimJonesSports: Sounds like the Bills are putting on full-court press with Rex Ryan. Second interview, in Florida, will last into tomorrow. Edited January 11, 2015 by YoloinOhio
KOKBILLS Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I'm less than enthusiastic about Rex...I respect him...Don't get me wrong...But I just can't fathom why we would bring in a life-long 3-4 Defensive HC when we have one of the best Defenses in the NFL and it's a 4-3...Is Rex really going to keep Schwartz? How's that going to work? This would be puzzling to say the least...Not saying it can't work...Just saying that on paper it does not seem like a good fit... And Roman? Just seems odd to me...The whole thing...
r00tabaga Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Hurting Atlanta right now is the fact that the owners mother just died. Finding a HC is the least of his worries. GO RAVENS
Tintonfallsbillsfan Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Rex ran 4 man fronts with the Ravens , he will do the best with what he has. no worries on that front
starrymessenger Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 While I can sorta see why the Bills (Pegula's) would want Rex Ryan as one might think he has an edge on beating Tom Brady- Bill Belichick. He doesn't, not at 3-9 overall. Then the last four years he has been 1-8. Forgive me, but I just don't get infatuation with Rex Ryan at all. Not when the Bills defense is already a top 5 unit, and the offense needs so darn much help. This whole thing makes no sense. Well I sort of feel the same way, except that Rex is a great motivator and a player's coach. If he can coexist with Schwartz and bring in a solid OC it might add value after all. If Pegs is into writing lots of big cheques I'd take Kubiak on a lateral before Trestman for sure and maybe ahead of Roman too.
Dorkington Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Ugh. Won't he be more of the same? Can't run a team with a decent offense, just relies on a good defense? Then he brings along drama with the media? Sweet. Bills move.
