On NFL Total Access it was just reported by Jason La Canfora that the Bills have contacted Bill Cowher.
Nice!

There are only 32 teams and right now about 7 coaches who are legitimate former coaches with strong resumes. If the common thought is that no one will want to go to the Bills because we are a re-building project etc... then why is everyone assuming that Holmgren would go to Cleveland.
Here are the potential HC jobs opening next year: ( in order of who I think needs a coach)
1. Buffalo
2 a. Oakland
2 b. Washington
3.Carolina (just a hunch)
4. Dallas
5. Houston
6. Cleveland
7. Jaxsonville
8. San Diego
9. Chicago
10. Tennessee
Ok - so there are 10 teams with possible openings but Dallas, Carolina, Houston, Jaxsonville, San Diego and Chicago could all make the playoffs and keep their current coach. Cleveland may also keep Mangini as they just hired him. I don't see any other team firing their coach other than those listed.
And if Fisher is fired in Tennessee then that just means the wealth of strong coaches just got better as well. Which is better for the Bills.
Finally, as much as everyone says the big name coaches won't go to Bufffalo, I'm not sure any of them would go to Wash and Dallas just because of the owners. We have a shot to truly get one of these guys. If Ralph is truly saying he will spend the money, then we do have a legitimate shot to get a real coach.

Without a plan in place going forward this was an absolutely pointless move at this time. The Bills should have already had multiple interviews scheduled for their permanent coach when they pulled the plug. Maybe they do, I don't know. But if not this move is just stupid and pointless.
If they want to do anything positive in the near future they should have a coach in place by Thanksgiving (and I don't mean Fewell or April or anybody else on staff) and a new GM and a reorganized front office completed before Christmas. If they can't manage that, then this move was nothing but more of Ralph Wilson's mindless bullshlt.
Huh??? Other coaches do not interview with a team who have a coach in place. The only way to interview big name coaches is to fire the one you have.

Marty was on Sirius today at 1PM (Red Zone) and said the reports of him coaching the Bills are a complete shock to him. He has no "itch" to get back into question... blah, blah. He never closed the door on it but clearly was not tipping his hand.
