I wouldn't mind getting Shula from Carolina to come in with our next young QB to groom. I can only cross my fingers Carolina uses him as a scapegoat, we get a good guy who is good with the D and an understudy as DC... yeah

I know that one of his best friends from college is there. The Pegula's also will open the wallet. He will have his choice but I'd think that the Bills are in consideration. Jacksonville or Tennessee are potentially viable options if they move on. A young, talented QB will be on his wish list.

 

 

Yeah I know who you are talking about but he's on the marketing side, not really anything to do with football side.

 

I like Tyrod but the opportunity to work with Mariotta or Bortles would trump working with Tyrod by a lot....and I think he will get his choice of a job with a talented QB with 10-12 years in front of him either this year or next and he will wait for it.

Yeah, just thinking out loud on potential teams. The Bears potentially could be another team that gives him his choice of QBs in the draft.

In these early stages my best choice would be Todd Haley. Not the players wanna be best friend kinda coach.

 

On a side note i got a good chuckle out Rex saying he never lost a fight because he always had his brother on his side. Find that hard to believe. They are certainly both losing the fight to obesity.

My personal belief is that if Rex goes Whaley will be allowed to pick a head coach and he will try to pick somebody with Pittsburgh connections.

 

I'm not thrilled with Whaley, the Bills roster is much weaker this season, but I think his work in general has been average at least.

 

There has been a very REAL dearth of *finds*......late round standouts, UDFA's, street FA's, under radar free agents.....in the past year.

 

 

You really think McDaniels in Buffalo is viable?

 

I think he will get his choice 4-6 jobs and would even take a tougher fix than Buffalo to not betray Belichick and bring competition to the division.

I kinda doubt these new owners will keep Whaley after not allowing him to pick the head coach in the first place. Looks like they didn't have much faith in him from the start to let him do his job.

 

My take is they look at what the Jets did and hire some senior consultants like Casserly and Wolf to give them input into who to hire as GM, HC or to perhaps even hire a team president of football operations and allow him to make the choices.

 

 

I also kinda doubt McDanials or Patricia would want the job in Buffalo to have to compete against ole Bill 2x a year. Plus, with no established franchise QB it might be more work involved then they want to take on.

It is true that we are a hard sell to McDaniels. But Houston was a hard sell to Bill O'Brien.... he was also likely to get his pick that year and could have waited for the perfect Quarterback situation. They got in there early and they sold themselves to him.

 

If we have a contact who is close to him inside our organisation then take the decision early doors that we are firing Rex and use what we have to get in McDaniels ear in November. Screw the rules. If we think the guy is the answer (and I have been mighty impressed with his work with Jimmy G) then pull out all the stops and use every little advantage we might have.

 

I want us to identify a guy and go and get him. Rather than interviewing 13 people like a blind squirrel looking for a nut.

Yep. I'd be happy with that combo and if not them then something like them. Harold Goodwin and Terry McDonough (Cardinals OC and Director of Player Personnel) is another pair I could see as a tandem.

 

Not sure how much of the Cardinals O is Goodwin but I'm very tempted by this. Spending my afternoon watching them and it's beautiful.

Even though BA calls the plays I get the sense he is the kind of guy who derives pleasure from his coaches going on and having success so would impart everything he knows. I think Goodwin is largely responsible for the protection schemes, not dissimilar to Marrone in NO, but unlike Payton I can imagine BA has included him in every element of game planning and play calling.

I can't imagine Tyrod being a guy that would fit that system either. I know everyone gets giddy calling it a vertical attack but there's so much middle of field and intermediate passing. My appreciation levels for Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald are going through the roof today.
