GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Just said Bills have gotten permission to talk to Cowboys OC Sean Payton, will interview Jerry Gray, and Dick Jaron should pay attention "even though the people's choice is Haslett."

In fact if Adams doesn't go down they probably would have won that division. Well that and the Safeties learning to cover 2 deep against the redskins in the final 2 minutes of games.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 How could they possibly interview Gray? If SDS's report the other day was correct, and Gray essentially threw in the towel two weeks before the season ended and stopped trying, why would they even consider him?

If SDS's report the other day was correct, and Gray essentially threw in the towel two weeks before the season ended and stopped trying, why would they even consider him? 566737[/snapback] Because that story likely isn't true. First of all, if a guy "threw in the towel" it would be easy for players and other coaches to spot. Second, once it were spotted, you really mean to tell me an entire locker room of coaches and players would keep that under wraps? I don't think so...

Mile High Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Bills | Rivera's name surfacing Sat, 14 Jan 2006 08:45:07 -0800 K.C. Johnson, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera's name has come up in conjunction with the Buffalo Bills head coaching opening. This from KFFL.

IBTG81 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 And the obligatory downside link. 566734[/snapback] Parcells also yanked the play-calling from Payton last year. Parcells this year also called out some of the play-calling on the offense. I'd rather have Haslett, and I think Haslett sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Chipper Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 never been a head coach before= two three or even four years to "learn on the job". Bills have been there done that. No thanks. There are other coaches out there who have atleast had some experience running a team. Im tired of the Bills being the jv and having new head coaches get their feet wet here then getting fired after a few years when they dont produce wins.

Im tired of the Bills being the jv and having new head coaches get their feet wet here then getting fired after a few years when they dont produce wins. 566762[/snapback] The problem is that these experienced head coaches you speak of have experience in failing and getting fired as head coaches. Look at the coaches in the playoffs this weekend. Only two of them were successfull after falling on their face in their first stints as head coaches. The other six were exactly the right fit in their first gig. You can't rule out first time coaching candidates for this reason alone. That's not even including Marvin Lewis who is obviously a success in Cincy. I got to tell you I'm not excited at all at the prospects of getting a Jim Haslett or Jim Fassel just because they were head coaches before. These two guys have had teams quit on them big time, not my idea of a good qualification for the Bills head coaching position. Seattle - Holmgren (1st time success in Green Bay) Washington - Gibbs (1st time success in Washington) New England - Belichik (failed in Cleveland) Denver - Shanahan (failed in Oakland) Chicago - Smith (1st time success) Carolina - Fox (1st time success) Indianapolis - Dungy (1st time success in Tampa) Steelers - Cower (1st time success) I'd still take a chance on a 1st time coach than a retread if the guy seems like the right one for us.
