dave mcbride Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) has he been declined already for the Rams, 49ers and Jags? He's interviewing with three teams in addition to the Bills. I don't see him having a ghost of a chance of getting any of those jobs. The one that made sense was Denver. SF is definitely not going to hire him if they're as set on doing a reboot as they claim. Same with LA. Call me crazy. Edited January 5, 2017 by dave mcbride
papazoid Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 with this "don't let him out the door" mentality running rampant.... Â if you leave without an offer, one ain't coming
FireChan Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 has he been declined already for the Rams, 49ers and Jags? He's interviewing with three teams in addition to the Bills.so they will cancel the interview they have scheduled for Saturday with Harold Goodwin? Does Vic even pay attention? When you hire a candidate, you generally do cancel interviews for the same position.
FLFan Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Not sure why everyone is ripping on Vic here. Once it became clear that Lynn wasn't going to get a chance elsewhere (the Broncos aren't interviewing him), the choice, if there is one, becomes a singular one. Lynn presumably didn't know that 3 days ago ... Maybe because he is following up his comments based on unsourced garbage with more unsourced comments that take a 180. Might this make someone question his credibility? He is not a reporter anymore, just another twitter whore.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I don't see him having a ghost of a chance of getting any of those jobs. The one that made sense was Denver. SF is definitely not going to hire him if they're as set on doing a reboot as they claim. Same with LA. Call me crazy. You're crazy. If he was never considered for the Denver job, meaning they didn't request a meeting, he and his agent would be the ones to actually know that.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Did Carucci not say a few days ago the Bills would not be conducting a very thorough search because Lynn was their guy?
Kelly the Dog Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Did Carucci not say a few days ago the Bills would not be conducting a very thorough search because Lynn was their guy? Carucci has become the Donald Trump of tweeting, saying both sides of the same story so he can always say he's right. SAD!

ndirish1978 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Just to clarify things on behalf of Vic: all he said was that Lynn was a shoe-in, who didn't want the job and will now probably take it. I mean, if that definite-doubtful-probable timeline is not consistent I don't know what is.

I had second thoughts before getting married (who doesn't?), but that didn't stop me in the end.
yungmack Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Well apparently neither did Carucci who tweeted ALynn had 5 interviews lined up and was having 2nd thoughts about the Bills. 24 hours later the story takes a 180.Forget Whaley and the Bills FO, the real "dumpster fire" is local media as Vic is demonstrating. Embarrassing.
Kelly the Dog Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 It was reported today that Denver isn't interviewing him. But he would know that, Dave. Well before the report. It's likely that his agent, Jimmy Sexton, knew it all along by talking directly to Elway. So how would Lynn have second thoughts after learning the Broncos have no interest in him, he always knew in all likelihood.
Fortunesmith Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 This is just another example of Bills fans unfairly blaming the media for being completely wrong again. Only columnists get to rate other people at their jobs; accountability and accuracy are not required for them, sillies.

So how would Lynn have second thoughts after learning the Broncos have no interest in him, he always knew in all likelihood. Â I didn't realize Sexton was his agent. Same agent who continuously drums up the fake "Doug Marrone is a hot HC candidate so you better hire him" narrative that we actually fell for. I'm actually more inclined to hope they take their time and interview everyone now.

We're talking about 2-3 days here, which is hardly a long time.
hondo in seattle Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I doubt if Lynn is telling Doug today that he's having second thoughts.

Chances are great that Sexton was the source to drum up the narrative that Lynn was wanted badly in Denver to increase the urgency of other teams to interview and/or make him an offer. It doesn't take a guy like Elway until yesterday to decide if he is going to interview Lynn.

It doesn't take a guy like Elway until yesterday to decide if he is going to interview Lynn. Again, we're really talking about a couple of days. The season ended on Sunday, and this story was out there at the crack of down EST today. Which means it came down yesterday. They're gonna take a day or so to decide on a list after the season ends. They may also have taken some time to evaluate the Bills on Sunday too. Neither you nor I know, and neither of us should speak with authority on the matter. Edited January 5, 2017 by dave mcbride
