Sen. John Blutarsky Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Obviously the guys who just got canned. Haslett, Martz, Tice, Sherman, Mariucci, Capers...I'm looking for other names. I think we're all tired of going the coordinator route. What other HC candidates are out there who have NFL HC experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chgrant Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I vote for Eric Mangini... 34 year-old DC of the Patriots. Anybody who's good enough for Bellichick, by extension, is good enough for Buffalo, JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, I think he will stick with Mike "Mr. Personality" Mularkey. If MM is fired I would be shocked, but pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 A candidate with any head coaching experience would be grand. And if we're going to go with someone green, can we at least make sure they've had some degree of success as a coordinator? I think we chose Mularkey just so the press could come up with (not-so)clever headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been quoted as saying he wants to be more hands-on again and I really don't think he cares about money anymore. He really want to win before he dies, if that costs him 3 mil it costs him 3 mil. Either way the coach is gonna be the guy that RW wants this time, not the coach anyone advises him to hire. The last coach he had a lot of input over was likely Levy, and if not Levy, Wade Phillips. I get the impression that TD had a lot of freedom to do hiring and drafting w/o RW input. His quotes indicate that's over with. If RW wants MM to stay he stays, if not he's gonna go get his guy. I see Levy's role as day-to-day advisor. RW can't be in all the personell meetings and be directly involved everyday. Levy is someone who RW trusts to give him the straight answer and I think that'll be his role, whoever the GM ends up being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeally Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think Mariucci was brought down by Millen, but I can't see him coming here. I used to think Capers was a decent coach, but did any of you see any Texans games this year? I have the football package (the only thing that keeps me going as an American in Canada) and it seemed like everytime the camera was on him he had his mouth open in an utterly confused expression. It was to the point of yelling at the TV for him to close his mouth...I'm a little down on him because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
