Mark VI Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Just because Polian hired him in 1995 for expansion Carolina. " Give him an interview, Marv. That way I don't seem dumb for giving him the HC job in 1995, even though it's clear that he's in over his head as a HC . " Capers had everything set up perfectly in Houston and blew it. Playcalling was terrible and they folded quickly in most games. They are not without talent and I'm willing to bet Kubiak has them playing far better immediately. Capers is a DC and should be happy to get a job doing that. Sometimes I despise the NFL Old Boys Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only interview the Bills have scheduled that makes absolutely no sense to me, unless it was to feel him out for a DC position. Man, I keep reading blurbs here and there about how Sherman "blew them away" with his interview. I really hope Ralph wasn't just blowing smoke up all of our asses when he said money would not be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 how Sherman "blew them away" with his interview. 575072[/snapback] Maybe this is actually a negative and the News got it wrong Wilson - " I'm offering this box of old silver and these shoe boxes of S&H green stamps....wait, you want HOW MUCH ???

RkFast Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The man's got YEARS of coaching experience, hes available and heas had some success. Now why would the Bilsl want to interview someone like THAT?? Hes not my favorite either, but sheesh...give it a rest. The Bilsl are going above and beyond to make sure all their bases are covered and they make a good decision. They are being very careful and covering all their bases. Guys....thats a GOOD thing.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Capers was interviewed to avoid the impression that Lofton was a "token minority interview." It was done out of respect for Lofton, and out of the fear of getting fined/criticized by the NFL. In other words, the Bills already made up there mind, but they'd better act fast - Al Davis has been known to swoop in and steal away a prized hire... No source, but I'm right.

RuntheDamnBall Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 What's the deal, do we play Indy next year or something? Polian shouold know he doesn't have to work this hard for the win. Cut it with the sabotage, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they named Sherman coach while Lofton was still driving to the airport on his way out of town, it wouldn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I think they had to find a head coach candidate with a head coaching win loss ratio worse than Jauron, and he was the only game in town. Kind of like girls who go hang out with a really ugly girl so that they might look prettier in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 no good coach in his right mind will coach in Oakland, especially just fired ones who are still getting paid. 575102[/snapback] Gruden took the job and did pretty good. Shanahan, who is a pretty good coach, took his first job there. Tom Flores did pretty good. John Madden did pretty good. There are only 32 of these most prized jobs in the league. These guys will go to the place that offers them the job, unless they are so very good that 2-3 teams are fighting over them. And the number of those coaches around is approximately zero.
