RyanC883 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 I don't see Harbaugh leaving Michigan. But go ahead and pursue him, then miss out on all the other coaching candidates who are snatched up in the meantime!

whatdrought Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 This is an interesting year for coaching changes as there are a lot of teams who are either good, or have potential to be good, who are going to be looking or might consider it if there was a good option. However, the hiring pool seems thin this year.

Also, while we’re talking coaching openings, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Jack Del Rio given another shot somewhere. I think the Raiders screwed the pooch letting him go.

RochesterRob Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Harbaugh is a funny (eccentric) guy in a lot of ways. I know when he played for the Colts he had a beef with Kelly among other problems that reportedly he let it be known for Buffalo not to approach him. He might still have a grudge against the Jets for the time Jeff Lageman (hypothetically) farted in his face at the bottom of a sack pile. That aside Harbaugh is treated like a king in his college gig so that might be the most important thing in his mind versus dealing with a possibly fickle ownership and fanbase of a NFL team. 1 1

I'd have to check but I don't think that there is any oil money with the Johnson's. Just being the heirs to Johnson and Johnson health care products. Jurrah, the Bowlen family, Bud Adams (when he was alive), and the Hunt's are petroleum (oil) families. Our own Terry Pegula is natural gas. 1

I would take either Harbaugh in a second! Over what we have now, yes! If McNeo The One is running the 4-3 line dropping back into pass protection then he gets a pass, because he’s not Rex. No matter how much New England chewed up his vaunted “defensive genius” gimmick card. Could just run a 4-6 and work to contain a running game you knew is coming. That is not McDermott would never leave any variation of the 4-3 or even go 4-4 or even install any form of discipline.

A cohesive, well orchestrated coaching staff is what seperates the good from the bad. It is all the little things that are done in preparation that will make a team successful. The Pats are the best in the business at that. I said in another thread about eye black- if Fosters wearing some maybe he comes down with that long ball. We just dont do the little things right. Special Teams is the one place when you mess up your assignment it is amplified i.e not staying in your lane, poor tackling, over pursuit, and getting the snap down. Week in and week out ST’s are brutal - that speaks directly to Danny Crossman. I think Daboll isnt doing a bad job- we all know what he has to work with and it starts with the worst O line ive seen in Bills history. Poor technique, guards that cant pull, abysmal pass protection, and hat on hat they blow no one off the ball. Miller, Mills, Teller, Ducasse, Groy, and the rest have no business starting.

BillyWhiteShows Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Jets have denied it but there’s probably a lot of truth to the rumors.
mannc Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Estro said: The team that will make a really good hire this offseason is going to be the Panthers. David Tepper is going to be a very smart owner......and I think he'll be smart enough to jettison Rivera who's not a good coach, IMO. With Tepper's analytical blbased approach I'd expect the Panthers to be one of those dominant franchises moving forward. It's a shame too because any team can get smart and hire the right people, unfortunately in Buffalo we have owners who dont have a clue. They literally hire people based on them living Jesus and being a wrestler which in their eyes makes that person "tough". I have a different way of defining "tough". To me it means thinking independently, embracing math, and giving your team a strategic advantage on the field by being ultra aggressive......something you will never see out of this franchise as it's currently constructed. A bit off topic, but who is Tepper and why are you so bullish on him?

Brady and Belichick and I can't stand that smug old man. Hope Putin steals another of his rings. I can't stand Kraft but he's got 5 rings and has had 3 head coaches during his tenure and all are HOF'ers who had or went on to won SB rings as HC's in the NFL. He's been a good owner to say the least. The Bills have never even had a HC who won a SB elsewhere as a HC let alone here. I hope his son has a miserable run taking over but the reality is that he has just as good of a shot of having a good run or a bad one............the years of success don't come with an automatic setback.........if they hire well they have the same chance as any team going forward.
