hondo in seattle Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Fans: BN editors aren't exactly doing a writing star search As bad as they've been, the Bills have done a better job finding capable coaches than BN has finding capable writers. As Bills fans, we're doubly blessed.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Obviously I didn't read it, because I don't read TBN, but here's what I don't understand: Didn't they hire the big-name star 2 years ago? How'd that work out? Shouldn't getting the right guy be priority, and NOT just a big name? This. Thanks. Another turd. Sully if you're reading this please retire and stop wasting my money. Meaning no offense, but whether or not you waste money would seem within your own control right now. If you feel the urge to support print media (a very good idea IMO) in this digital age you can choose a paper anywhere in the country, tailored to fit your political views even - NYT, WSJ, Wash Post, whateves.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I seem to remember a similar reaction when Marv Levy was hired. Most reporters were calling him washed up. They also couldn't believe how someone as intellectual as Marv could relate to football players. After all, his college degree was in History! How was he going to turn the Bills into winners?! So much for predictions. That's it ! we need a historian who is also a football coach. maybe someone who read the Art of War? (Naval Academy)
vorpma Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 That's it ! we need a historian who is also a football coach. maybe someone who read the Art of War? (Naval Academy) His degree was in Literature and at the time of his hiring he just on the Grey Cup in the CFL; after doing average in Kanas City. I love the hate for the media, after all they created this mess we call the Buffalo Bills!
GG Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 BTW exactly who are the star candidates that are in the market this year and that the other teams are interviewing? If memory serves, the last two available big name coaches were Chip Kelly and Rex Ryan.
somnus00 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 There are two types of fans after a losing season. Those fans who love hating the Bills. And those fans who hate loving the Bills. Sully is the former.
jeffismagic Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 BTW exactly who are the star candidates that are in the market this year and that the other teams are interviewing? If memory serves, the last two available big name coaches were Chip Kelly and Rex Ryan. There are no big names like Kelly or Ryan. Maybe Coughlin but he's really old. I do agree with Sullivan that the list the Bills have compiled so far is unimpressive. I would expect the biggest catches this year would be Shanahan and McDaniels. Cooter will be the hot name next year if he doesn't get a job this off-season.
John from Riverside Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I dont need a high profile coach....I need a good one that is a good fit for OUR players

Cooter will be the hot name next year if he doesn't get a job this off-season. But that's the whole point. There are no high profile coaches that are available this year, and Bills are interviewing the available field. It's not like Buddy telling the world that his phone is ringing off the hook, despite some high profile coaches turning Bills down, and then out of the blue they spring Chan Gailey on the public.

What do Sullivan and anyone not directly involved with college or NFL football really know about being an NFL head coach?
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Another turd. Sully if you're reading this please retire and stop wasting my money. I think it more like the Bills and Sabres are wasting my money... he just reports the dysfunction. What do Sullivan and anyone not directly involved with college or NFL football really know about being an NFL head coach? Obviously more than ANY coach the Bills have hired since Wade Phillips!!!!!
Rico Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 I think it more like the Bills and Sabres are wasting my money... he just reports the dysfunction. Obviously more than ANY coach the Bills have hired since Wade Phillips!!!!! There's absolutely no doubt that he's been more right than they have.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 There's absolutely no doubt that he's been more right than they have. It just frustrates me to no end that the Pegulas keep slapping us in the face with these morons they hire after saving the Bills and Sully gets more heat. I've been negative ever since it was clear EJ was a bust and Pat LaFontaine was basically canned for an inferior GM. I am now more sad than angry...
