For Fun: Build a coaching staff of all former Bills players

[Just Jack]

Seeing calls to bring Frank Reich back to coach in Buffalo got me thinking of this as a topic.  How would you build a coaching staff using all former Bills players?  

 

Simple rules, any player, from 1960 to today's team, even deceased.  Time on the team doesn't matter, whether it was a long-time player, or someone that was only here for a few months.  Practice squad players count also.  

 

Here's the positions you need to fill

 

Head Coach

 

Offensive Coordinator

Defensive Coordinator

Special Teams Coordinator

 

Offensive Line Coach

Wide Receiver Coach

Tight Ends Coach

Quarter Back Coach

Running Backs Coach

 

Defensive Line Coach

Linebackers Coach

Safeties Coach

Defensive Backs Coach

Cornerbacks Coach

HC:  Rosco Parish

 

OC:  Chris Watson

ST:  Rosco Parish (double duty)

TE:  Drew bledsoe

QB: JP Losman (might actually be good here, might change later)

RB:  Mike williams (the OT)

 

DL coach:  Willis McGahee

LB: Coy Wire (double duty)

Safeties coach:  Izell Reese

DB coach: Sam Gash

CB coach: Coy Wire (triple duty)

HC/ST coach would be pretty cutting edge. They always say it's 3 phases and all are equally important. If that's true then why don't any top ST coaches also become HC's?

No denying Frank Gore's longevity and accomplishments, but running around piles > running into piles.

Now if you want juking and jiving, go get CJ Spill'em.

And for WR, Robert Foster.  Greatest WR to ever wear a Bills uniform.  (I read it here!)

[Bangarang]

HC: Leodis McKelvin

 

OC: Marshawn Lynch

 

DC: Marcell Dareus

 

Im just thinking of the press conferences really.

To reduce Gore to just running into piles is really undercutting his abilities and knowledge. 

 

Gore served as an outstanding mentor/teacher to Singletary in his rookie season.
