They were trying to do the same thing to him that Marrone was trying to do to EJ & we see in both instances how well that worked !! I hope if Roman uses EJ he studies some of Gailey's tape on how to make use of a players strengths & not change them into something they are not ! Fitz now has his fortune thanks to Chan & he made him a viable QB for a while ...

I think it's a great hire ! Chan is a offensive guy . He can (unlike others) see what is a players strengths & adjust his scheme to their strengths which will be good for their young QB .. I think he will make him a better QB … But just not good enough to beat the Bills !!!

We need to take care of our own FIRST then think about brining in others . I know guard is a need for our team & i think Whaley & company will or have found the guys to fill that whole , but only time will tell . If we get a really good O line guy i think he can do wonders with the young talent that we have & get rid of the old O line coach & players like Pears & add the draft this year or FA (as long as we don't have to mortgage the farm to get a guy) . It can be done !!

Spiller has always said he wants to stay in B/lo & he is one player that i believe when he says something ! He would be a great asset in Romans arsenal & i bet he would know how to use him because he will have a O line coach that is much better than Marrone & his guy at coaching up the O line ...

There is the thing of being "just another coach" & all of those teams are on the outside looking in at the play offs every year because they have "just another coach" but then there are the other guy's that are for real NFL HC's that come in from day one & change the team because they know how to use what talent that have ! Like Harbaugh , Arians , the other Harbaugh , Bellichek , McCarthy & so on ...

No one since Chan has known how to use CJ to his full potential . Marrone & Hacketts inexperience cost us the play offs this year !! I think part of the reason why Orton was always looking like he was pissed & why he retired could have been due a lot in part of to how Marrone wanted the offense run . FJ said Hackett was a all out kind of guy & that was nothing like our offense this year .. I hope he stays , i don't think he will but time will tell ..

That is the biggest rip off out there ! Soon it will be as outrageous as going to a BB game ! How can you charge twice for the same seat ? PSL then you have to charge again for the ticket on that seat ? Who ever does that has more money than brains ! thats like buying a car & paying for it twice makes no sense what so ever !! Not to mention the Falcons don't or didn't need a new stadium the Georgia dome wasn't but about 10 or 12 years old talk about ridiculous !!

Why wasn't this guy on our radar for a HC ing prospect , his resume sounds pretty dang good to me !! He has a down the field attacking type scheme man that would have been fun to watch . Plus given the fact that the guy had the #2 rushing attack on the Jags dang thats saying something !! Can you imagine what he could have done with what we got ?

If he couldn't do no better than what he did with the talent we had on the roster let him go there's got to be better out there . But good luck to you Ty !!!

Kevin Greene Bill Pollian Junior Seau Charles Hailey Kurt Warner Jimmy Johnson Those are my picks !! 2 thumbs up ...

I like the guts Whaley put forth in seeing what he wanted & going for it & i think Watkins is all that & a bag of chips BUT that being said the kid from FSU Kevin Benjamin had a great rookie year & i think he would have been there when the Bills picked at their original spot which would have been a great pick also & more along the lines of what they had said they wanted a BIG WR that was open when their not . To add to that EJ had a ton a familiarity with him , ow he ran routes , his work ethic all because they were team mates i was kind of thinking that should be the way the Bills would go given all that but didn't & am OK with it . We haven't had that kind of balls in the draft room since Pollian was here & that is one of the reasons why i hope they see fit to laeve Whaley & his scout crew at their posts because the guy has a nose for talent , even if to this point it's not for a QB unless he see's what we are all missing ...

Looks that way !!

I could see something like this if it was for Marcus Mariotta or MAYBE even Winston if he were to grow up if he continues to do stupid things then let some one else have him but Whaley has proven to be a wheeler dealer so i wouldn't put any thing past him .. Go get them D. W. !!

We have a winner !!

How many coaches would you be looking at if it was your money behind the check for $1.4 Billion that was written to buy the Bills ?? You don't get to be a Billionaire just by being lucky & most of those that do get to have a lot of money lose it in a short period of time if they don't do the right things with it while they have it . So myself if i am the Pegula's i'm looking at every person i can that has the correct resume & potential to do my company the best they can do . I personally think that the Pegula's & Whaley are trying to keep the band together so there isn't a huge change in scheme & coaching philosophy which would help the rookies & young players a like . I also believe with how Whaley is talking up EJ & wanting the new HC to work with him that they may be thinking from what they saw & what has been said about Marrones approach to coaching the team , that they may want to keep the coaching staff they have now in place or a least most of them . Which again would help EJ & the young receiving corp along instead of blowing up every thing yet again to have EJ & company set back to learning another scheme . Fred Jackson said he believes that Hackett was held back & that is basically what we saw when EJ was on the field a dink & dunk type of offense . Almost afraid to go down the field . EJ himself even said if was to get back on the field he was going to let it go , so was he in fact being held back by Marrone ? Then there is the talk of how the O line was trying to listen to the O line coach , plus Marrone would try to coach them too & the TE coach was trying to do his impression of a O line coach causing confusion among them . So if that be the case & this was something that not only Whaley but the players noticed the offense couldn't or didn't have a chance to go to it's full potential . But the other phases of the game did because Marrone didn't have as much if any input on how defense & ST's were run . But if the powers that be are trying or think this in any way was the problem i can see why they are going through so many HC ing interviews because it would be very hard to get a new HC to keep what is in place & have them just run what is there . Which when Marroone was hired i wondered with the O line , & the ST's units ranked so high WHY would you want to change them if they were doing so well ? From what we are hereing now it sounds like a pure ego thing with Marroone … But i am glad that this HC ing search is truly in every way a extensive & exhaustive search unlike the last one I just wonder if they will talk to Trestman ?? Time will tell !!

The last time we hired a HC the search (according to those doing it) was exhaustive & extensive & you see where that got us ! If you were the man that put $1.4 BILLION on the table for a sports franchise wouldn't you look at every possible candidate to make your team better or would you do what the previous people did in their search & limit it to 5 people ? If it's me i'm doing what these guys are doing & leaving no stone unturned !! May the best man (no homer hires) win !!

Marty should be brought in as head of football operations at B/lo , he has all the experience you would want & could be a good person to bounce things off of as a GM … As long as there were no power struggles between the 2 positions ...

Hey Seeing as we have new owners now & the history of the team is what it is & a lot of the folks that are here now weren't here the last time we had a winning coach that had a winning season let's bring him back to right the wrong at our last chance at the play offs . How Bout It Let's start a campaign to BRING BACK WADE !! BRING BACK WADE !! Hey Ralph did it here with Lou Saban . Now that Pegula owns the team there is nothing between Wade & the owner & they are interviewing every one so WHY NOT ?? Wade has a good record i think . Can you tell the Bills boredom is starting to set in already !! http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/PhilWa0.htm Brilliant - simply Brilliant i say !!

If any one goes by his resume to this point (as the Bills should have) he should not get another HC ing job until he has more experience because what we hired him on is all he has as far as HC ing history . After seeing the way he left here i think he will be like Mularkey nothing more than a second thought when it comes to being a HC until this memory fades .

That is what you call a truly exhaustive search , the last interview period for a HC lasted all of like 6 days & 5 so called interviews i think it was to come to St. Doug I for one am glad all of the coaches are being considered it shows the difference in who's now running the show . The Pegula's have a lot more vested interest than Brandon had & when you hire some one to basically run a Billion $ company you look every where leave no stone unturned !! Although Schurmer has the experience i didn't like his loan approach to the HC position while in Cleveland !!

But that was his dream job !!

I would like to know why Trestmen once again is on the out side looking in ? The guy is a offensive coach both QB's & a coordinator for years in the NFL & isn't that where our team needs the most help is at QB & the offense ? Seems like a no brainer to me , put Schwartz as the HC to keep the D the same & keep him happy & bring in a Trestmen or some one that has his kind of resume . Done deal !!

All of those decisions about EJ , bringing in the guard could be Marrone insisting on bringing these guys in , & seeing as his offense sucked I'm thinking that would be more the case than laying it entirely at the feet of Whaley , plus there was more influence from Buddy while there to draft a QB i would think ... Last years draft was totally Whaley he may have had in put before but it was trumped by either Brandon (which should not in any way be involved in football decisions !) or Buddy prior to . There is way to many unknowns before Whaley was GM from that point on it's all him .

If Marone was half of a coach he would have at least tried to work WIlliams in a red zone package but didn't . I hope the jets get him as a HC they deserve it !! Never did like the hire & am glad he's gone , this team is loaded with talent & all's it needs is a competent coach that knows how to use it . If Marones little buddy was half the coordinator Schwartz is & we had half what the D was out of the O this year we would have been in the play offs .. Thanks Marone !

Well its not like Sully has a clue either he's a monday morning QB just like the rest of us ! He is just closer to whats going on than us . I like looking at more than a small hand full of people for the job . When Brandon & company laid that lame excuse last time when they hired Maroon of it being a exhaustive search after lasting like 6 days total & like 4 for real candidates i was like Yah right exhaustive ?? They didn't even look at Trestman a top offensive guy for years in the league & one that had championships under his belt . I think Terry is looking at ALL that is out there like a good owner of any company would do . Sully will continue to be Sully as long as he has a job in B/lo & as long as the Bills play there so i won't put a lot into what he says especially at this point when the Pegula's are in the beginning stages of making the team their own .. But i hope they hire Schwartz cause the D guys like him , play hard for him & may be more likely to stick around , but if he leaves we wil see Hughes along with others follow him like some did with Pettine ...
