Kipers Hair Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It is a painful trust right now...anyway, I think both of those guys had to go when they did as they could not success with Donohoe thinking he was GM and Coach....neither guy was strong enough to deal with him....

VJ91 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 That is F-in hilarious. Mort also said that both suffered from the Buffalo syndrome (whatever that is?)...but are high on the list of many teams right now. The Buffalo syndrome, according to Mort, must mean sucking as a first time head coach. You know who else suffered from Mort's "Buffalo syndrome"? The coaching guru himself, Bill Belicheck. Ask the die hard fans from Cleveland how "smart" he was in the early 90's when he took over the Browns for his first time as a head coach. I would call it the Tom Donahoe syndrome myself. Donahoe had so many better coaches to choose from looking back, that to hire two idiots like Gregggg Williams and Mike Mularkey back to back was almost impossible, but not for TD. I suppose both men could be better the second time around. I don't see it, but you won't find a Browns' fan who was sorry to see Belicheck fired or quit, whatever happened with him in Cleveland, and just look at him now!

zow2 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Mularkey went 9-7 for us right?? I'd kill for that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VJ91 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Mularkey went 9-7 for us right?? I'd kill for that right now. Yeah, and then he followed that 9-7-0 winning season up with a wonderful 5-11-0 clunker. It was the reason Wilson fired TD, (good move), but re-hired himself as team President (amazingly stupid move), and brought his friend Marv Levy in as team cheer leader (pathetically stupid move.) Marv convinced Wilson to hire Dick Jauron (stupidest move of all), and the rest as they say, is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv convinced Wilson to hire Dick Jauron (stupidest move of all), and the rest as they say, is history. We went 5-11 because Donahoe and company bet the farm on Losman and got rid of the only credible QB the Bills had had in almost 10 years. That was the nail in the coffin. You can't just ditch a vet QB who had you one game from the playoffs for a rookie who missed most of his rookie year including training camp because of a broken leg.

cowtippur Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Leslie Frazier...wouldn't you think his name would be on that list fairly high up? I think he would be great here, if we end up going with a coordinator instead of big name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I say hire them both back. Associate head coaches. They can fight to the death for the lead position, and the winner gets dismembered by the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasBB Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The "Buffalo Syndrome" is trying to run a team w/o a real general manager. The "Buffalo Syndrome" is sending your proven GM with 6 playoff appearances in 8 seasons packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, Williams is still a few years away from being seriously considered for any HC position. I would like to see how Mularkey performs without TD breathing down his neck.

Don't assume that Donohoe was behind getting rid of Bledsoe. Wilson was at the Bills/Steelers game, and was reportedly furious afterward. He's the proverbial meddling owner, and I wouldn't be surprised if he ordered that Bledsoe be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be great here, if we end up going with a coordinator instead of big name. That's a tough one to ponder. His record is great, but his personnel is even better.

evilbuffalobob Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Good luck to those two pee-ons & good luck to Mort. Nice hair Williams. Maybe to get back at Mort, we should draft his son Alex as our new starting QB. What a little Dork. http://samfordsports.cstv.com/sports/m-foo...sen_alex00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
