Best of luck. I know AW23 loves him but you gotta think we need better injury prevention. With this late night media dump by the Bills I'm just hoping we hear Juan Castillo is gone next.

Interesting. 

 

I remember reading that Marrone and Whaley wanted to replace him, and thought his training methods were too old school for the players today.

 

Edit - here's the first article I could find on it -

Quote

The Buffalo News reported that coach Doug Marrone and Doug Whaley want to update the team's training methods by replacing the training staff led by Bud Carpenter:

 

Marrone and Whaley also are said to be highly interested in changing the Bills this-is-the-way-weve-always-done-it culture.

 

Sources said at the combine that the coaching staff is weary of Carpenters old-school methodology. These sources believe Carpenters stim and ice therapy is too outdated for todayâs athlete.

 

"Stim and ice" refers to electrical stimulation to the injured area and ice treatments.

Well he his a McD guy from Philly if i remember 

He is and was hired prior to the OC last year if memory serves me correctly. That’s odd to me. I’d think that a HC that isn’t involved on the offensive side would have the OC hire a guy that fits. Daboll runs a power style and Castillo runs a zone. It’s strange that he is still there.

The medical and training staff used to report up through the GM, so Whaley could have moved on if he chose to. Now it reports up through the HC. They made that switch with McD’s hire.

Didn't Aaron Williams Just praise him in his retirement article? 

Yes Shone was very popular with the players. That's surprising to hear

The last time McD got fired Juan was promoted to replace him as DC in Philly.........perhaps one day Juan will be Bills HC.:thumbsup:

That really is kind of crazy.

* stops, looks over at good ole Jimmy O, the bills cap and contract guru who has held the safest job in the NFL for decades because he's "so good at what he does" and because we are "stupid fans who aren't smart enough to judge him" while simultaneously trying to figure what the hell makes him so good at what he does that has kept him safe.*

 

"...no...kinda makes sense now."

I finally feel like the bills are catching up to the rest of the NFL. 

I was just thinking that same thing and are ahead of schedule to the surprise of just about everyone. Maybe we’re heading toward the adults table again.

The NFL is a weird place. My suggestion to anyone that gets in there is to become really good friends with people in power. You’ll have a job forever. “The Chuck Pagano Effect”
