Marty Schottenheimer??!?! LMAO The man has been out of football now for a couple years, and for good reason. We don't need a Norv Turner-like coach in Buffalo, that's for sure.

Drafting and scouting isn't a clean and efficient operation- you re talking about a brain trust if you will that must analyze the "player intel" and act accordingly. What this is doing is removing Nix's final approval and giving him an advisory role. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and the military does it all the time...

There are two things I take from this morning's events: 1. Ralph Wilson has rewarded loyalty by retaining his team, giving Brandon full control, and allowed Nix to fade away without being cast into the street for being a professional. 2. The rep for the Bills has just exponentially increased. It is obvious to me that top nme coaches want to come here and they are actually wanted and not given lip service to soothe the fans. The ONLY negative IMO is Nix still being involved, but the more I think about it the more Thurman was right- this IS exciting!

OHHHH LORDY LORD!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY FINALLY!!!

With Lovie Smith now fired, I withdraw my statement... hire Lovie Smith- he is NOW the best candidate out there.

I'm with you, for sure. So long as he gets an actual bona fide defensive coordinator, I'm all in.

It worked for Joe Montana, going from PA to IN to CA.... ohh wait, that's not right... It worked for Tom Brady, going from CA to MI to MA... damn. I give up. I'm spent.

This could be the week, the glorious week, where the whole rotten machinery is cast aside and the New Era begins for the Bills. I surely hope the Buffalo News is right... this paves the way for new ownership in 2013. I'm pumped!!!

EXACTLY what I am thinking... sucks...!!

Merrill Hoge called him a cry baby... at that moment, I lost all respect for Hoge. He hates Tebow and cannot be objective at all. ESPN has really gone downhill tremendously.

Start Gus Frerotte... that'll teach em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAGE!!!!!!!! (Brad Johnson... huh huh uh uh uh... funny funny)

Send a message this Sunday... laugh at the Jests as they win a meaningless game and make their draft position worse...!

I have a Colts fan here, and she get VERY annoying... I tell her every chance I get the Colts tanked last year. Losing to them this season only made it worse!!!

Bills Backers of Virginia Beach at A.J. Gators is no more??? When dd that happen?

Fort Meade... have to drive to Bethesda once in a while...!

The Colts tanked the season and got Andrew Luck. The Bills had a brutal season, and we probably get Matt Barkley. That's how bad it has gotten, and even when the lack of heart is a positive, it STILL will probably be a negative!!!!

There are more Ravens fans up here, but still a lot of Redskins and Cowboys fans here. I'm not going to get sucked into this nonsense... I'm still running around with my Bills jacket and my Sabres hat, screw it. I may get some jokes and some "sorry, dude" comments, but I'm still here, along with TT, Jimbo, you all, and more... we all suffer and still keep the FAITH. *insert Howard Dean-like 'yeeeeeaaaahhh!!!' here*

When they show a commitment to winning through better management, sure. It might be until after we get a new owner...

They shut this down, but still allow pot smokers in Colorado and Washington to go unmolested?!?! Priorities=SO out of whack

We acquire Brad Smith, a great returner, and then FAIL to use him properly, trying him as some gadget QB and at WR to make up for our shortcomings. Maybe Buddy Nix should go after all, to allow all this to happen. 50 returns to 15 to 13... we really do SUCK DIDDLY UCK, Flanders.

Not funny.... sorry.

Those damn chemical plants killed my father, the politicians are killing the area, and now someone has to rescue the team and its fans before it is too late... that was an outstanding article! You should have made it its own thread... I love this note:

I'm with you- we should have hired him instead of Gailey, as I advocated for... he has rep and I imagine is itching to come back. I love the guy's spirit, intensity, and attention to detail.

Indianapolis Colts? You can't say they were any good since the Mayflower truck took off from here. 1972 was when Bob Irsay bought the Colts, and they sucked for years and years when they were the Baltimore Colts. Hardly anyone in Baltimore claims them as their team anymore, trust me. Bob Irsay gave his son control of the Colts through inheritance, and they took off... it happens. The Yorks would include family as well, which I had to debunk.

Add these names to the list... most are serious, one is a wish, one is a joke! Gus Bradley Jim Caldwell Tony Dungy Wade Phillips Norv Turner (I laughed after typing that) Mike Zimmer (why not?)
