EC-Bills Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Cottrell: Give me a break. If we were to bring him back, then I'd know that mularkey has no control over this thing and that we'll have the #1 pick in the 2007 draft. Minnesota defensive players were bitching midseason about how lame and predictable and vanilla their defense was. even winfield went on record saying that the lack of an intelligent scheme and game plans was laughable. and you guys want to rip apart the 43 that we spent 5 years building to hire a mediocre coach and start over with a 34? Do you even realize we don't have the right personnel for that? Do you realize that no team has ever won a playoff game in their first year in a new defense? Think again when you want to keep reaching back into the past. 560264[/snapback] I could have sworn I read they were bitching about how complex the scheme was and they wanted him to simplify it. Which threw Teddy for a loop since he dummed it down to begin with.
cåblelady Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 What's horrible is the way he was fired -- over the phone, by a new HC who didn't have the decency to even meet with him in person. Nobody deserves that sort of treatment. 559801[/snapback] That sucks.
Bill from NYC Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 That sucks. 560376[/snapback] Do you want him back CL? I ask because if you do, he would probably come back for a smaller salary because you are so cool.

Bill from NYC Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I always liked TC.....you know Ted Cottrell......not Tom Clements. 560392[/snapback] Well, I am guessing that everyone who you have ever met in your entire life thinks that you are pretty cool too.

Lori Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 and you guys want to rip apart the 43 that we spent 5 years building to hire a mediocre coach and start over with a 34?

Think again when you want to keep reaching back into the past. 560264[/snapback] I'm guessing it won't be with Cottrell, but would a shift to the 3-4 honestly surprise you? Think about it - it's what the Steelers ran when Mularkey was there, and I believe every one of Marv's DCs was also a 3-4 guy. Not saying it definitely will happen, or should happen - you're absolutely correct that the Bills have spent the last five seasons drafting/signing players for the 4-3. Just don't be too shocked if it DOES happen...

If we're looking for a D-coordinator with 3-4 experience than go with the best guy out there, Dom Capers.

Pass. 560511[/snapback] What was Ted supposed to do with that group? Herm wanted a Tampa cover 2 defense. They did not have the personnel to run it. Ted made do with what he had. He then became Herm's scapegoat.
