SloanBillsFan Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/buffalo-bills-head-coach-record Sitting in my endocrinologist office I started trying to remember all the head coaches since I moved to WNY. I remembered Jauron, Gailey, and Marone. Forgot (subliminally) about Ryan. At the bottom the search return was a link which read 18 more 🤯 Aside from Marv Levy and Sean McDermott not a single coach lasted more than a couple of years. Holy Schnikes! Greg Williams is 3rd with 4 seasons. Everyone else is 1-3 seasons and gone. I didn't look at other teams but dang! For Buffalo that's a head coaching change every 2.8 years. No wonder everybody's so quick to chop heads every couple of years. Granted I know why 6 of the last 7 didn't last but still, dang! Wow 1 2 1 1 Quote

Fans want instant gratification. Bengal fans were screaming for their HC to get fired 8 games into a season after they made the Super Bowl because they lost in the AFCCG. They are screaming for it again this year. Fans remind me of Veruca from the first Willie Wonka movie (the Gene Wilder classic, not the crud remake) "Don't care how....I WANT IT NOW" 1 1 1 2 Quote
JoeF Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Bills already interviewing McDermott replacements - the search will be far and wide and include other sports .... first up Torey Lovullo of the Diamondbacks (Wife is from Grand Island -- must be in town for Thanksgiving)... Quote

Wow I was thinking how McD gets a lot of love because even though he may not be the one to take use to the promised land, he is still so much better than several in the drought. You cant get worse than arrogant stupidity of Williams, the angry dysfunction of St.Doug, the bumbling ineptitude of Rex or the 1000 yard stare of Dick Jauron! 1 Quote
Rigotz Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Well... yeah. We sucked for 20 years. Usually coaches don't last more than 3 years when they suck. 6 Quote

Wow Coaches get fired a lot because they usually suck and it doesn't take 10 years to figure that out. Blaming the fans for bad coaches getting fired for being bad is wrong. 4 1 2 Quote
Fleezoid Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 It really depends culture in ownership and GM, not so much the fans. Look at the Steelers. They've had 3 coaches and stood pat on Bill Cowher when fans were screaming for him to get fired a couple of years during the Slash era. All fans get crazy when things go bad. It just depends how much of a trigger finger the owner has. I think the longer a team stinks, the happier that trigger finger gets. And the Bills have had long stretches of suck! Quote

Charles Romes Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 82 percent of people want the coach who ended a 17 year drought, and has been to the playoffs 5/6 years gone. 3 2 Quote
WhoTom Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 At the other end of the spectrum, the Steelers have had only three head coaches over the past 55 years. During that stretch, they went to eight SBs and won six. Quote
Dubie54 Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 The coaches you mentioned: Jauron, Gailey, Marone, Ryan, and Williams all sucked. Bad hires that never should have been given the job. McD has been a decent coach but every coach hits his ceiling with a team and reaches a point when it's time to move on. The jury is still out on McD, but he is showing clear signs that he is not the guy to get us a championship. 1 1 2 Quote

Probably because Bill Cowher didn't have a losing season until year 7. He was a good coach. Tomlin is a good coach. 1 Quote

Just because the prostitute down the street did a good job for you the past few years, but never could get the job done don't mean you have to keep paying her when her services are old and tired. You replace her with a new one with more skills right down the street! Edited November 17, 2023 by Gunsgoodtime 1 1 Quote
Mikie2times Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 I think Buffalo is one of the most rewarding places to play in the NFL and also one of the most difficult. I recall reporters asking Rodgers how he would fair with the New York media and he said Green Bay might not be a big market, but it has a really big spot light. Quote
fasteddie Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Don't you mean the coaches are tough on the fans? Their decisions often give me ulcers. 2 Quote

I'm curious as to why you'd think Buffalo would be one of the most difficult places to play in the NFL? Rewarding I get, nice small market feel, good cost of living, you can be part of the community...I don't see difficult. The media in WNY is not exactly hard hitting. Quote
