loadofmularkey Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 The top story on the Channel 7 11:00 newscast tonight was...Jim Haslett has not yet been interviewed by the Bills but told Channel 7 that he has made informal contact with team officials. Top story. Not in sports. Top story overall. I am serious. Holy God.
loadofmularkey Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 HE has made informal contact? 569234[/snapback] That's what Jeff Russo said.
Brandon Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Informal contact with team officials, huh? I'm guessing that this means he called Ralph Wilson, begged him to hire him, and Ralph hung up on him?

Zac Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 He said informal contact has been made. They didn't imply who made the contact.
JoeF Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 HE has made informal contact? 569234[/snapback] Informal Contact: Jim: Yo Ralph, I am interested... Ralph: Thanks Jim, I will keep that in mind.... Formal Contact: Jim: Mr. Wilson, I would like to apply for the head coaching position of the Buffalo Bills Football Club of the National Football League Ralph: Please fill out this form in triplicate and pee into this cup...
X. Benedict Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 I miss the good old days. Informal conversations never led the channel 7 news, it was always pistol packing punks and 5 alarm blazes in Cheektowaga.

BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Informal contact? What the hell is he doing, passing notes to Ralph during study hall?
timmyk12 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Informal contact? What the hell is he doing, passing notes to Ralph during study hall? 569246[/snapback] Ralph is too busy sizing up Sean Payton and Tim Lewis....
X. Benedict Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Informal contact? 569246[/snapback] I think it means you are making out without being properly introduced. Jim Haslett is sick.
loadofmularkey Posted January 16, 2006 Author Posted January 16, 2006 He said informal contact has been made. They didn't imply who made the contact. 569240[/snapback] After using my wonderful DVR to rewatch this fine piece of reporting, Zac is correct. Russo doesn't say who made informal contact with who, but nevertheless informal contact has been made. Still find it hard to believe that such a non-story tops the 11pm news.

Draconator Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Hmmm... http://www.boston.com/sports/football/arti...he_hall/?page=4 Next in line? Word on the snowdrifts of Buffalo is that Levy wants to hire ex-Bill Jim Haslett to coach but Haslett wants more money than owner Ralph Wilson wants to pay. Levy also has an interest in bringing back former defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell. Haslett is not talking because he's also a candidate with the Jets, although not the leading one. A decision in New York should be made by the end of next week. The Jets will interview Patriots defensive coordinator Eric Mangini today about the opening.
sfladave Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 HE has made informal contact? 569234[/snapback] In other words Jim called up Ralph but talked to Marv and said, "I heard you guys are looking for a new head coach." Marv mumbled something back about letting your actions speak so loud that noone can hear what you say.
/dev/null Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 does this mean he was spotted at the Buffalo Airport?

Holy God. 569233[/snapback] It's better than the usual "Our taxes are going up, our churches are closing, the weather sucks, and the Bills lost." God I miss that town. Two things... first, if Mangina was offered the Jets job, Jim ain't getting that one. Secondly Ralph said price isn't a problem, we'll see if he's feeding us BS.
