BuffaloBill Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 ...would that change what you wrote? Not at all .. I certainly hope someone in the Bills organization reads what is out on the Boards. I'd love to have (maybe) an open feedback forum from my customers. Maybe the Bills would run a better organization if they at least considered the fan perspective on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know my day is complete ... you found a way to work in at least one Mike Leach plug. Perhaps you had another (or two) in some thread that I have missed. I hope for your sake the Bills hire him as their next coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Leach I hope that's sarcasm, because the last group of college coaches didn't do so well in the NFL: Lane Kiffin Bobby Petrino Nick Saban Steve Spurrier Dennis Erickson In fact, I think you'd have to go all the way back to Jimmy Johnson (1989 Cowboys) to find a college coach that did well in the NFL. I guess you could count Barry Switzer (1995), since Dallas technically won a Superbowl with him, but it was really Johnson's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel too guilty ... we all blow off steam through the process of posting ... it's a part of fandom. It's more constructive than throwing things at players when they are in the tunnel or on the sidelines (behavior to me that is appauling and inexcusable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckknox Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I am sure some of the players & coaches (and their relatives) read & post on these boards. It's along off season and I am sure they look at the internet and read newspapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leach is officially at an impasse with TT and AD Gerald Myers has issued a Feb. 17 deadline to sign, so there'll be plenty more articles to link about...

Mike Leach (Now, more than ever, I hope they're reading this at OBD - Leach is demanding a smaller buy-out figure if he leaves TT ) Seriously, my guess is that he will make a jump to a "big" nationally known college program (Tech is well known here in Texas but not so much on the national stage - not the same as a Florida, LSU, Tennesse, USC, etc.) before he gets his shot in the pro game. I think Ralph is too risk adverse to take a chance on him. Not to mention too expensive for Ralph's tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right - there will be a line outside his door from the 'big' schools, but I'd love to at least get him as an OC before the Bills ruin another young QB's career. Regarding the money, I don't know what Jauron makes, but $12.7M over 5 years does not seem like too much, certainly not more than Ralph can afford, for a coach as colourful, entertaining, and offensively explosive as...

Mike Leach Time will tell ... For now we must cheer Dickie and crew on .. what a miserable dilemma.... lose and we get a new coach ... win and we are stuck with one that we do not like ... but hey if Dickie J wins ... he wins. My personal guess is that he does not make it past week 11 next year. I hope I am proven wrong because the Bills are 11-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
