The only real possible answer is that Ralph got PO'd at him for the negative comments he made on the Bills a few weeks ago and subsequently gave instructions to Nix that we would NOT interview him. That's really the only logical thing that I can come up with.

Don't waste your picks on QB's, we've got one!

After almost an hour, nothing?? Does that mean there is no one else or no interest??????????????????????????

I have a quick question about the coaching prospects and who to look for today and tomorrow. Arizona at NO…….. …We have Russ Grimm Baltimore at Indy….. …I don’t think we have any candidates, do we? Dallas at Minnesota…..There’s Leslie Frazier and Jason Garrett to watch for Jets at San Diego…….. Ron Rivera Can anyone think of anyone else from these 8 teams to be on the lookout for this weekend as far as viable head coaching prospects go? :unsure:

I've been saying this for a long time, but then again....who the h?ll am I? Anyway......... Yeah, I believe in the 3-4 but with some additions. Of course we'd need additions no matter what we do so anyway here's what I see. DB's......The back 4 or 5 or 6 depending on the situation is relatively set with McGee, McKelvin, Florence, Corner, Byrd, Scott, Wilson, Wendling, whatever....we have enough and are set. LB's...... Throw Maybin in there (yeah yeah yeah, I know, but he's FAST and can learn) with Poz and Mitchell, and we're only short one starter. we have backups aplenty. Line.... After Schobel on one side we're a bit light, but between Stroud, Johnson and Kelsey, they could man the other side while we'd obviously have to come up with a NG. That's only 2 players short to field a respectable 3-4, a LB and a NG. With luck and/or another year, it would be even better!!!

Hmmm.... after reading everything that I can find on Mr. Grimm I get the distinct impression that he will come in for the interview, listen carefully to everything that is said/offered by the Bills hierarchy and then politely yet firmly say those words which we have come to expect; "Thank you very much for the opportunity to be HC of the Buffalo Bills football team, but at the present time I am firmly entrenched in the building of the future success of the Cardinals and I must decline the generous offer." In other words, thanks but no thanks!!

There's ONLY 32 SUCH JOBS ON THE US of A you dumb sh&t, and it pays several millions of US dollars per year. Additionally, it allows for the possibility of building a winner here which would immeasurably add big plus signs to the guy's resume'. Sometimes I wonder if you guys ever make any attempt at all the THINK before you write popular BS that you see other people espouse over and over and over.

I think we're complicating this Cowher thing....simple really. We interview candidates, some more than others because guys like Cowher and Schottenheimer Senior don't need too awful much of an interview, do they? Anyway, we interview and when we're done we categorize and then make offers in order; i.e. 1. Cowher, 2. Schottzie Sr., 3. Schottzie Jr, 4. Harbaugh, 5. Grimm, and on until some FINALLY accepts the da&mn job!!

Does your name, tipster 19, signify that on a normal day you "tip" 19 drinks? Seems like it! Hang in there, pal!

Schottzie....I like his experience, his upbringing, his potential, his bloodline, his successes, his age, potential.... the whole package. Nothing is for sure, but he seems to have what it takes to build on!!

Remember that I'm saying this....... Brohm is as good as Sanchez; whether he ever has the supporting cast and the chance to prove it is an entirely different matter!

Wherein lies the problem.

Give us 1 more season of experience on the OL and we have an excellent chance to be very strong all the way from RT to LG. We need a good draft for a top LT and we can be well above average.

I know this is unpopular but with a patient coach like Schottenheimer the Bills could bring Brohm (don't scream) along slowly. The guy has a terrific and highly accurate arm....all the potential in the world. All he needs, IMHO, is a coach and a team to believe in him. Do it!!!

No one is talking about him now with all the big Cowart news going on but as I mentioned in another post a day or 2 ago, I can possibly envision a scenario that plays out with Schottenheimer taking the reins if Cowart doesn't pan out. The Bills have their press conference and Schottzie stands up and says that although he was thoroughly satisfied in his retired life an opportunity like this doesn't come along very often.....and he has studied the situation and IS CONFIDENT THAT HE CAN HELP WIN AN NFL TITLE FOR THE BUFFALO BILLS!!!!!!!!

Are we on the same page thinking that maybe, I say MAYBE Schottenheimer, as a close friend of Cowher is waiting for him to make a final decision on whether or not he'll give it a go in Buffalo. If the word is "No", then maybe Schottzie will step up to the plate and say that while he had every intention of remaining retired, enjoying every beautiful round of golf with no headaches, no pressures, etc, this wonderful opportunity to coach the GREAT BUFFALO BILLS is just too much to let go by the wayside and he intends to put every effort into making them into a CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!!!!

This is a tough one to call alright. Seems to me that the man wants to coach again this year and I'm thinking that in all probability coaching the Bills doesn't scare him IF he can settle a few sticking points..... like his salary, money for his coaches, overall power and authority in draft selections and personnel in general, etc. If Ralph gives in to his demands maybe we finally see Cowher as THE MAN the Bills have been looking for!!

I have my fingers crossed on that one, Maddog. I think I'd rather have Schottzie and Schottzie Jr. than anyone!!!

I'm not saying he's quite as good but Kyle Williams was a Pro-Bowl alternate this year and if you check it....that ain't too shabby. What I'm saying is IF..IF we can manage to get another pretty good one along side of Williams, and believe me he's not currently on the roster, then I think we're fine up the middle.

In my humble eyes that's what's known as too good to be true. Schottzie is undoubtedly one of the very best coaches in the HISTORY of the game, his playoff record notwithstanding, and I'd be overjoyed to have him and doubly so if he'd be accompanied by his talented son, who as noted above is clearly on the rise in the NFL coaching ranks. I just wish that Ralph and Nix would get together and make him/them an offer so good that it just could not be refused and I almost guarantee a winning program pretty much right off the bat. After all, check out Schottenheimer's records over the years; for God's sake, the man hardly knows what a losing season is!! Come on Nix, convince Ralph to part with big bucks, lots of control, Brian's hiring, and get the Schottenheimer hiring done!!!

The panther's might not pay that amount but chances are that the Bills would.

Don't quite agree with your "waste of time" comment, but nice post just the same.

The kid can play...... First of all in case you didn't notice the game was played in a virtual blizzard. Combine that with the fact the Brohm was playing behind undoubtedly the worst OL in the league, facing a team which was coming after him play after play giving him almost no time to throw, and I'm thinking it wasn't all that bad. Additionally, bandit, in his last 3 pre-season games with GB he completed passes at a 69% rate, but by then GB already had their minds made up! Check it out...it was a sham. The guy is FAR better than people think.
