i have said this in many other posts.....
Option #1 - Cowher...because thats what the most fans want and will make for the biggest buzz (ticket sales).
Option #2 - Schottenheimer....because thats what Nix wants.

Rookie wage cap, blood testing, benefit cuts, a nearly 20 percent "giveback" and a work stoppage were prominent in a recent communication that NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith sent to player representatives in describing a bleak labor negotiation picture.

the stars continue to align for Cowher to buffalo.....
#1- Cowher says he wants to return to coaching in 2010 but will not discuss specifics until season ends.
#2- Bills officially contact Cowher but he says he's not talking til season is over.
#3- Cowher sends out private feelers expressing interest in buffalo.
#4- Buffalo (Ralph & Russ)has a "stealth" meeting with Cowher just prior to announcing Nix (sources say cowher does NOT need final say on picks)
#5- Cowher is assembling a coaching staff as we speak.
#6- Cowher visit expected in Buffalo next week.
#7- on NFL today show, Marino & Shannon keep smirking everytime Buffalo is mentioned. Shannon holds up a sign written on paper.....but i couldn't read it, lighting was bad. Cowher says he ain't talkin bout coaching job.
#8- tampa bay coaches told jobs are safe.

Buddy Nix has stated that he believes in building through the draft and "rewarding" your own players by extending them. just one problem......we don't have very many current players worth extending. the bills will have plenty of cap room, so look for buddy to add a few key free agents, just not the superstar level. he likes the mid-level up and coming type. hang on to your hats folks, cause your gonna see a major overhaul of this roster.

Clayton specializes in teams from the West Coast. he is getting squeezed out further with the edition of Adam Schefter. Who knows if he has any credible source(s) specifically regarding Cowher other than his own intuition. Heck, if you took a poll amongst bills fans, probably 90% would say cowher is not coming.....so for clayton to take the leap to "no way" is not that far. having said that, the stars keep aligning in the bills favor.....according to sources Raheem Morris has told his Tampa Bay coaching staff their jobs are all safe. that probably means raheem is safe and/or cowher is not coming knowing he has to keep all those guys. so thats another possible destination rumored for cowher, along with carolina, out of the way.

obviously the bills will be linked to several coaching candidates. it's nice to see that Buddy Nix is not wasting time performing his due diligence in search of a quality head coach. at this point i still feel that Bill Cowher is the number one choice. Cowher is the person who would garner the most buzz and satisfaction from the fan base. Cowher himself has stated that he is not talking to teams until the season ends, but has sent out feelers of his interest in buffalo and his desire to return to coaching in 2010. Cowher would probably prefer Carolina as he has a home there, but that job is not open as we speak. Tampa is a strong possiblity also, with buffalo certainly in the mix. $10 mil/year is alot of bread. Lookout come Monday.
i myself feel that Nix's personal favorite scenario would be the father son combo of Marty & Brian Schottenheimer. Marty and Nix are extremely close freinds from their days in San Diego, they golf together, go out alot etc... if any scenario could possibly bring Marty back from retirement, working with Nix is the best situation for him as there is a proven track record and comfort zone between the two. I could easily envision an understanding where Marty would be Head Coach for two years and then turn the team over to his son Brian, thereby insuring his son will become an NFL head coach.
All these other interviews are to protect themselves in the event that neither of the above scenarios work out.

he has what you can't teach......leadership, heart, work ethic = WINNER !!
he will be the most controversial pick in this years draft...... JAX desperately needs him to sell tickets. For the rest of the league he is a project. He should go in the 2nd round, but don't be suprised if he goes in the 1st round. it will take 2-3 years before he is NFL ready, but i believe with his determination he will ultimately make it.

this issue came up in another post about a week ago.....i believe someone said it was illegal to not play to win.
basically the current rule says that teams have "earned" the right to rest starters in preparation for the playoffs, but that the competition committee will review this rule for next season.

WOW !!......what a breath of fresh air......i especially liked the gleem in his eye comparing how a San Diego built team has fared well against the way the Colts are built.

Nix made it pretty clear the Bills need a QB with a big arm. That rules out Edwards and Fitzpatrick. The unknown is Brohm, here is a scouting report for him.

i'm thinkin the bills will pursue Cowher as first choice (it's the big bang the fans are looking for). If that fails, i think the second choice will be the father son team of Marty and Brian Schottenheimer (Marty and Nix are extremely close), with the angle that Marty will be HC for two years and then hand it over to Brian who would be Assistant HC/ OC.
-
dang, you correctly predicted the next GM back in October.
so who will be the next coach?.......who will we draft with our first pick?.....
thank you in advance for saving my time from reading so many other posts.
P.S. ......any thoughts on the stock market for 2010 ?

Marty got fired after going 14-2........

marty got fired after going 14-2........i think most of us would be happy with that record.

there are some funny people in here......thanks for the laughs....
-
this is Nix's first year with the bills (recently)......with the exception of Maybin......this was the best draft we've had in 10 years. i would hope some reporter asks who made that pick.
-
It's a solid pick.....he is one of the best in the business.....

in 2010 new england has one- first round (#25) and three - second round picks (#42(jax), #48(ten) & #57). that extra first round pick your thinking about is from the raiders for richard seymour, but thats not until 2011.
