Dan III Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2298511 Indications are that, after the Capers interview, the Bills will deliberate over the men with whom they have met, and perhaps reach a decision by the weekend. Buffalo is one of just three teams remaining without a head coach.
Zac Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Media is such a joke. "It's down to Jauron and Sherman." Now here we are interviewing Capers and possibly Rivera.
JoeF Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I don't mind them interviewing 6 to 8 candidates. I don't think Capers has a shot but he is a solid Defensive coach and if this gets him excited about Buffalo and the chance to work with TKO, Fletch, Milloy, Schobel, McGee, Vincent...can't be all bad...same with Henderson since he is now unemployed. I think Haslett's sins of the past--especially implying Hull used roids--killed any chance he had to coach the Bills...

Buffalo is one of just three teams remaining without a head coach. 574407[/snapback] i'm all for interviewing a lot of candidates, but giving one to another robotic retread with no discernible personality is a joke. you think 36-49 is bad; how about 49-81 and coming off a 2-14 season in which they were supposed to be competitive?
Mark VI Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 But a source close to the Bills' search said that Sherman, who took the Packers to four playoff appearances in six seasons, had a Wednesday interview in which he "knocked the socks off" Buffalo officials. If Lenny P. says so. Meanwhile, Capers selling point is " you'll be drafting #1 in 2007. No number #8 in my resume ! "

The Rams are going with Linehan..we are last up..take advantage of that position..add a day to the process and get a couple more good unemployed coaches who can fill position or coordinator roles excited about the organizations.

Kultarr Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Can I have three cheers for Joe Pendry back on the sidelines?!

If is was Clayton reporting this, it would guarantee Jauron would be the man.

JoeF Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 The dude did wear a headset. 574498[/snapback] Looked pretty stylish too.. GQ material with the reading glasses in the buttons look.. Joe in a headset
Maguire's Beer Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Capers?!?! This is gross. 574510[/snapback] Indeed. I've got no complaint with Sherman, and I happen to think that Jauron could do an awfully good job the second time around, and I even would be intrigued to see what Lofton could do (though that could just as easily turn out as a disaster as a success) -- but Capers leaves me cold. Might as well revive the korpse of Kotite.

No Thanks...not even an interview... 574471[/snapback] he is a good defensive coordinator. you bring up excellent points about the situations he's been in. i am confident that they'd never hire him -- ticket sales would plummet and the angry mob would be gathering their pitchforks. maybe by interviewing him they're trying to give him the warm fuzzies so that he'll agree to be defensive coordinator.

eball Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 I love capers, particularly in a nice lemon-butter sauce. You know, the brine they're stored in is almost like pickle juice...
