OldTimer1960 Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I have calmed down after yesterday's rants against hiring Anthony Lynn. I realize that you certainly can't blame him for a bad game when he was only promoted to head coach 4 days earlier. It will take an awful lot to get rid of the lackadaisical attitudes by some players and total disorganization that was allowed to go on under Rex Ryan. That being said, I think that they do need to do a search that extends beyond Anthony Lynn and seriously consider other candidates. i would not delay decision for long waiting to talk with a coordinator of a playoff team. Waiting too long makes it much harder for the new coach to put together a staff as other new-hire coaches will have put their staffs together already.

Any and all evaluation ends there.
Reed83HOF Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Andre Lowe @AndreLowe @MikeSilver aren't teams only interviewing "certain" candidates to satisfy the NFL's "Rooney Rule"? Michael Silver @MikeSilver 1m1 minute ago This year hopefully not. Anthony Lynn, Teryl Austin, Vance Joseph and Harold Goodwin are all legit. So Dave Toub is getting some play now: YardsPerPass.com @YardsPerPass 2m2 minutes ago I'd give a long hard looks at Todd Haley and Dave Toub if I were Doug Whaley Greg Gabriel @greggabe 3h3 hours ago If SF is looking for a GM with strong relationship w/coach they should be talking to Ballard and Toub! Winning combination! Edited January 2, 2017 by Reed83HOF
Marty McFly Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 In a perfect world i wanT Schwartz at Hc and Lynn as OC. Second choice would be Lynn as HC and Bradley as DC. Im on board with this or Lynn OC Bradley as DC and anyone decent at HC. Sometimes the Coordinators are more important to the teams performance than the HC. Which makes me wonder, if as predicted we get Lynn at HC Bradley at DC who are we gonna bring in at OC?

Buffaloed in Pa Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Lynn would retain a lot of the coaches that need to go. He is not the ideal candidate in my opinion This . Although,I don`t want any Pats Coaches,all are puppets with Bellycheat pulling the strings.
Boatdrinks Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I'd like Mc Daniels, would be ok with Coughlin though the age is a concern. No matter though, Whaley will tell us how great Lynn is and they can't believe they were able to get him amid all the interest . The beat goes on at OBD
Solomon Grundy Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Call me a homer, but I'd like to see Frank Reich as HC. Former QB in the league that's familiar with game time situations. Been around winning organizations. Should be able to attract top coordinators. Knows the area and the pulse of the Buffalo fan. And should be able to make Chad Kelly, who the Bills should draft as their QB, a better person with his spiritual leadership.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Sean McVay OC Washington Redskins. Or Lynn/Bradley

What does the pulse of the Buffalo fan base have to do with being a good head coach? No thank you to Chad Kelly. Reich might be a good candidate, but not for the reasons you listed.

jahnyc Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Not interested in any of the names we are hearing so far (Lynn, Austen and Goodwin). Why aren't we going to speak to any of the more well known potential candidates?
bananathumb Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Clear out anyone who has been part of the stink, including Lynn, Whaley and Brandon. Don't care much who takes over, but he needs to be smart.

Reich might be a good candidate, but not for the reasons you listed. I, as a Buffalo Bills fan, want hard working, committed to winning type players on the roster. No matter how talented the player is. Chad Kelly is the best QB talent in this year draft, period. Is he a head case? Yes. Many teams may not take a flyer on him, but he is a talented player who hates to lose based on watching him play. Can he change and learn to be more professional? Maybe. He'd sure have a nice support system being in Buffalo around his family. A bad coordinator and an undrafted player at qB? Pass Reich, a couple years ago, was a top HC candidate. Even if Chad Kelly goes undrafted, it's not because of his football talent
Kirby Jackson Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Reich, a couple years ago, was a top HC candidate. Even if Chad Kelly goes undrafted, it's not because of his football talentHe isn't considered that anymore. Kelly is a mid round talent because of his decision making. The injury and character have him as a borderline draftable player. Matt Miller has him as the last player drafted.

He is a chump.
