26TrapDraw Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Dennison never played for the Raiders. The only team he played for was the Broncos (1982-1990). Check for yourself unless Ricky Dennison the white linebacker for the Raiders was his dopplegangerPretty sad when you have to roll out a VHS tape to see the last time we were good. lol actually watched the whole game on YouTube....Kenneth Davis was a beast that game

And damn that Bills team was great on offense. So glad I lived through that to experience it first hand. Edited January 21, 2017 by PolishDave
vincec Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Pretty sad when you have to roll out a VHS tape to see the last time we were good. This post inspired me to break out a video of the AFC championship game vs the Chiefs. That Bills team was so much better than they are now in so many ways and THEY didn't even win a Super Bowl. It's depressing to think how far the Bills are from a championship right now.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Maybe, but I think it was more a case of TP didn't want him to be the head honcho so his ego wouldn't allow him to take the job then so came up with this story. There also was speculation as to how him taking another job with any team could delay him getting into the hall. Maybe if he were to get job as GM, he's take that chance, but not to become the second in command reporting to the assistant ball boy. Wasn't worth it to him and could understand that. BP probably meant it was "too heavy a lift" to be GM anywhere. No one has hired him since he left the Colts in 2011.
JohnC Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Those are part of it - but mostly it's because lawyers and engineers are intelligent problem solvers who try to answer the questions they think are being asked, or should be asked, rather than the questions that actually were asked... One of the top attorneys in the country is Abbe Lowell. He can take a complicated legal issue and with clarity explain in laymen terms the core legal issue involved that even a dullard like myself can understand. He was the lead attorney who represented John Edwards in the campaign finance fraud case that was brought up in North Carolina by the U.S. Attorney's Office and Justice Department. He shredded the prosecuting U.S. Attorney's position and legal reasoning in that high profile case zealously brought by them against his client. His clarity and incisiveness when talking about the law is very impressive. Edited January 21, 2017 by JohnC

I'm also sure that not having the first overall pick and a chance at a generational player wasn't appealing either.

Delete This Account Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 So Whaley still around and the leaks have all been plugged. Methinks they weren't coming from his camp, but rather from the guys who showed up late and left early. couple'a things here. once McDermott was hired, i stopped checking sources and let the assistant coaching hire process work it's way through, especially once it became evident it wasn't going to be McCoy, who was the only one i made a few cursory calls. otherwise, i called no one. i asked no one to call me within the Bills or outside. and there was far too much rabid speculation out there to pinpoint on one person, rather than four or five. it was a long season and made even longer with yet another coaching search. so once McDermott was hired, a move that was a key priority for me, i moved on. i needed a break and i'm sure the people I've dealt with needed one, too. and i'm sure the people i deal with would have pointed me in the right direction. but at this juncture, there was no real benefit from my end to push them on it. better to use them for more key moves down the road come March and April. jw

The truth hurts but by now you'd think they'd be able to see past the messenger.

It doesn't help when reporters claim that the head coaching search was a sham because it already settled on Anthony Lynn. So they're going to get criticism.
HurlyBurly51 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 This sounds like this will end well: "Dennison prefers to fit players into his scheme, rather than scheming to fit the talent on the roster."
Rubes Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 This sounds like this will end well: "Dennison prefers to fit players into his scheme, rather than scheming to fit the talent on the roster." Link?
GG Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 This sounds like this will end well: "Dennison prefers to fit players into his scheme, rather than scheming to fit the talent on the roster." And yet, he made Brock Osweiler look like an NFL quality QB. Maybe he's not a total moron.

HurlyBurly51 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I'm guessing Twitter. Here's your twitter link. Happy reading. Do people really not read the articles right on the front page here? http://www.thedailynewsonline.com/bdn02/bills-qampa-break-down-of-bills-offensive-coordinator-rick-dennison-from-denver-20170123 "But during his time in Denver, head coach Gary Kubiak had his say in the offense, even calling the plays for Denver’s offense." "Fans in general, were overjoyed when Rick Dennison was not retained." Ouch. Doesn't call plays as an OC and prefers to fit players into his scheme, rather than scheming to fit the talent on the roster. Full props for making Osweiler look like an NFL QB though.

So they're going to get criticism. based on the people I spoke to, Anthony Lynn was the front-runner to replace Rex entering the final game of the season. reported that as well. and he was until things began shifting with Pegulas impressed by McDermott. the tide began shifting McDermott's way immediately after he interviewed, and word filtered out that he was the clear favorite a few days before he was hired. jw

I would dispute this based on what they did in Denver with Peyton Manning.
