Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 No David Lee??? How in the world will our quarterbacks ever get better???
FireChan Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 So now we know the "1 coach per player" system does not work.
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 No David Lee??? How in the world will our quarterbacks ever get better??? Addition by subtraction. Lee was a mistake. Glad to see the house cleaning.
Jmsbills Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Looks like the Strength & Conditioning guys along with Danny Crossman are the only ones to survive the post Rex era. Should save tons by not having the largest coaching staff in the league. No wonder no one had any idea what was going on.

Another example of white males destroying diversity.
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 the team had more coaches than players Somebody had to keep the Starbucks orders straight.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Another example of white males destroying diversity. Hey, you're not a real coach if you've never been fired.
I'm Spartacus Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 What about the Trainer's? I always had a soft spot in my heart for the little hobbit guy.
Dragonborn10 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Kromer is probably capable but may not fit the new system. It would ne nice to know if Smith did a capable job as a ST assistant. If you keep the ST coordinator one would seem the staff for STs would remain. But if she were not a woman no one would notice a ST assistant getting fired. I applaud Rex for his hiring diversity and if she did a capable job, hope she gets another opportunity. Reed probably gets an Incomplete grade as injuries limited the secondary. But there seemed to be a great deal of communication issues. My god the defense can't be that complex to teach. Perhaps it is really dumb players, but releasing McKelvin likely raised the collective IQ by 20 points. However maybe Reed is just not a good coach/communicator.

When he was hired, several folks pointed out great players aren't often great coaches. No clue about Reeds direct impact but I don't see anyone holding up the defensive secondary as a bastion of great coaching, for whichever reason that is...
Leroi Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) S & C team still intact? These guys just don't learn. Injuries will be an issue again this year. Imo Edited January 31, 2017 by Leroi
nucci Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 S & C team still intact? These guys just don't learn. Injuries will be an issue again this year. Imo It's football....injuries are always an issue
White Linen Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 It's football....injuries are always an issue Most injuries can be prevented by the trainers and the medical staff. A source told me several players pretended to take the supplements provided - then later spit them out due to lack of trust in the staff. A lower level coach was forced to not report - when he saw more than one Bill sticking their tongues out at the instructor during workouts. The instructors back was turned, thought he heard something and looked back quickly - but it was too late. This is a problem and will continue until they blow this whole department up.
SF Bills Fan Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Wow- there were coaches for the coaches it looks like. Lean and mean is where they need to be. Definitely will be leaner without Rob Ryan on staff.
