silvermike Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 This is, of course, premature, but interesting speculation, I think. Should the defense stay as good as it looked today, Jerry Gray is going to be the next head coach of the (Saints, Seahawks, Titans, etc.). Tim Krumrie seems like his obvious replacement, but that might just be his personality overshadowing his skills - who else on the coaching staff would you like to see promoted?

Corp000085 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I just made the point in another thread that jerry will be gone if the bills play like that for 15 more games. I'd LOVE to see krumrie as the next DC of the bills if this happens. I'd say that krumrie is due for a nice DC promotion, so why not keep him in house if gray is promoted somewhere? Anyone who's willing to take on sam adams, pat williams and ron edwards in a lumberjack match deserves to be a DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 LB Coach Don Blackmon has coordinator experience (was fired in Atlanta)...Dom Capers may be looking for a job at the end of the year. George Seifert may still be hanging out the airport waiting..he's an experienced D-coord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Capers and Seifert (that was probably a joke) - I think if we're getting our coordinators hired away, then I think we want to try to keep the corps together and not bring in outside help. It'd mean losing more of our guys to Gray's future team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are just filling in a couple of missing parts I would be for promoting from within. If we are doing a major overhaul--I may look outside to get a name that will attract free agents. Anyway--all speculation right now. I hope we do well enough this year that Coach Gray is the #1 candidate on everyone's list. He deserves it and we deserve it. Seifert was a joke by the way...lame attempt at humor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Haslett worked with Mularkey in Pittsburgh and obviously has a history here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 if the Vikings season opener is any indication of the rest of the season, Tice may be out of a job and i'd like to grab his DCoordinator, and bring back Ted Cotrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothar Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I think most of these responses asking for "the good ole days" with Teddy or - who knows - Wade or others, are off-base. Gray and Williams have created an attacking turnover inducing defense - almost a polar opposite of the 2-deep zones and minimize error defenses of Ted and Co. Just watching Wade's passive defense against Bledsoe made me cringe. Now that I have a taste of this high-sack, high TO defense, I don't wanna go back to the solid, but lo-impact defenses of of years past. We WILL promote from within to preserve as much continuity as possible in case Grey gets hired away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I think JG will get some interviews, but fail to land a head coaching gig for a few more years. I think Fassel and Greggo will be HC's next year and who knows how many vacancies will open up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven in MD Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Haslett is safe. Given the situation in NO, Haslett will not be fired. And he is 1-0 right now anyway. TC would not come back to Buffalo. He might have a chances elsewhere. Most likely should Gray (am hold over from GW tenure) get a HC position, he would take whoever wanted to leave. I would guess that Kunrie would stay with Buffalo as DC before leaving to take a similar situation somewhere else. Most likely, Gray would hire Blackmon as his DC.

stuckincincy Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 If the D does well this season, and Grey leaves, I'd go with Krumrie if he's interested. After his years in football, I'd say he knows quite a bit about the whole picture. And loyalty counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
