Generation ME Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Bills | Team could hire Henderson Tue, 24 Jan 2006 06:57:16 -0800 Randy Lange, of the Bergen Record, reports former New York Jets defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson could be hired by the Buffalo Bills as their new defensive coordinator. However, if Henderson loses out on that job, he could become Herman Edwards' secondary coach with the Kansas City Chiefs.
tennesseeboy Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I'd prefer we stay with another old guy there and hire Cottrell. The OC is the position that will decide whether we succeed or fail.

Stevie Ray Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Now Henderson I could get excited about. The Jet D wasnt statistically up there, but he ran a very aggressive D and he seemed to game plan well. I think some key injuries did them in last year.
Campy Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Cotrell has failed at both Minnesota and Jets....Why would we want himback again.... 581633[/snapback] I can't say I'm falling all over myself to have him come back, but in all fairness, he's done well with the players he's had. I don't care if you're Mouse McNally, Mike Mularkey, or Vince Lombardi -- you can't make chicken soup from... you know the rest. He had Chaveous, Cowart, Winfield, and Sharper on defense. All good to very good, but that's only 4 guys. Compare that to the guys on Bflo's '05 D that are good to very good: Shobel, Adams, Fletch, Clements, McGee, Milloy, Vincent, there's 7 right there, and I could have added Crowell based on his play last year. Cottrell's defense was middle of the road statistically in '05, ours was 29th.
bills_fan Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Donnie Henderson would really be a nice hire. I'd be very glad to have him running the D. The offense on the other hand....

eball Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Donnie Henderson? Get 'er done TD! 581722[/snapback] Holy time warp, Batman! We need to change that catch phrase, pronto. From now on, anyone interviewed by the Bills for an open coaching position should be asked: "C'mon, [insert coach name here], where else would you rather be than right here, right now?"
Generation ME Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Jets were destroyed with injuries this season. In 2004, the Jets gave up Zero points in the 2nd half 7 times. Think this guy knows how to adjust at halftime ? That's incredible. Sign him.
Kevbeau Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I He had Chaveous, Cowart, Winfield, and Sharper on defense. All good to very good, but that's only 4 guys. Compare that to the guys on Bflo's '05 D that are good to very good: Shobel, Adams, Fletch, Clements, McGee, Milloy, Vincent, there's 7 right there, and I could have added Crowell based on his play last year. 581650[/snapback] ... the Vikes (at least on paper) should have had one of the best D's in the league. The LB corps is average, but the DL and secondary are stacked. DT - Kevin Williams, Pat Williams DE - Scott, James, Johnstone LB - Cowart, EJ Henderson, Newman (avg) DB's - Winfield, Smoot, Sharper, Chavous Not assigning blame to Cotrell. The D did improve as the season went on and id spend a lot of time on the field because the O was in shambles. However, they should have been much better than the end result.
drhockey Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I read somewhere (i believe in the Roch. D&C) today that MM doubled his salary with the fish as OC. And, I read that Bates apparently wants much more that $1 million to be DC, and basically will go to the highest bidder. In relation to the Bills, I just hope and pray the Ralph is standing by his word that "money is not a factor" for coaches. I hope some of the quality assistants don't get priced out of Buffalo just becasue we are being tight with the purse strings. This team absolutely NEEDS top notch assistants right now. Not only for X's and O's, but also to restore some bit of confidence back into the community that this team is actually taking the staff seriously. THe only problem i see though is with what he paid DJ. Say Ralph paid him less than $2 million or even $1.5 per year, then obviously it would be tough to justify paying an OC or DC as much as the HC. I just hope they do the right thing this time with the assistants. It will at least make me feel a bit better about this whole debacle.
BillsObserver Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Henderson is the mack. Let's hope we sign him today.
Realist Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Just heard on Sirius NFL Radio, Henderson is going to sign with the Lions.
Omar Little Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 This would be an absolutely tremendous hire. Henderson's one of the best in the business.
BuffOrange Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I'd prefer we stay with another old guy there and hire Cottrell. The OC is the position that will decide whether we succeed or fail. 581630[/snapback] Huh? They had basically the same players w/ the Jets and Henderson did a much better job with them.
Heels20X6 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Bring us Donnie! He can get it done! Then he can leave us when his contract runs out to go to KC!
scribo Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Bring us Donnie! He can get it done! Then he can leave us when his contract runs out to go to KC! 581952[/snapback] I cannot imagine a trade here -- so if Henderson came to Buffalo, he'd be signing a new contract.
Fan in Chicago Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 First of all, I am not sure why Donnie Henderson is thought so highly of. This is an honest question, so I will appreciate someone setting me straight. Secondly, with Haslett to Rams and Capers to Dolfins, how many DC positions are out there for Bates to choose from ?
