Last coach to take us to the playoffs!

 

Underappreciated when here too...we were spoiled then.

 

Question is: does wade even want to be a hc again?

We can't hire him. He didn't wear headphones and spoke with a drawl.

Line by line, these are my thoughts.

 

I can't remember the exact quote, but he said his dad, Bum, once gave him some advice that went something like this, "There's only one thing certain in coaching: you're going to get fired."

I would love him back as a DC, as I think he is fantastic and his stats still prove he is a top DC in the game, but he has never been very successful as the head guy.

 

 

82-64 as a HC.

 

Went to the playoffs 6 out of the 8 full seasons he was a head coach.

 

Took three different teams to the playoffs.

 

His HC record is actually pretty impressive except for his record in the playoffs: 1-5.

 

But at this point, I'd be thrilled with a Wild Card round loss.

Thank you for the stats, hondo.

 

Make that a double for me. :beer:

I don't know that Wade Phillips would be a fit with the current defensive roster even as DC, and we know he doesn't have a clue about the offense.

 

I think the Bills should reach higher should they want to change the HC. Bill Cowher would be my choice.

Probably take Bruce Arians for HC

 

In what world is Bruce Arians available and wanting to come to Buffalo? How often do serving Head Coaches move to another team without being fired? It is almost never. If we move on from Rex we will need to find either an assistant coach from elsewhere or a Head Coach out of college.

 

*or one of the big name, talking head, ex coaches on the TV.

It was a big mistake to dump Wade 15 years ago. Just look at the results, He is a great DC. He lets his guys play and keeps it simple with great athletes. That is Rex's problem is he out thinks himself.

 

I'm praying he understands his mistakes, and let's his guys get out there and go after it.
