Does Ted Nolan know anything about 4th down percentages?

Your title.

He caught JP Losman's first TD.

Was he interviewed at all for HC last year?

Completely agree. Before the Marrone incident, it seemed like fans who were confused by the hierarchy were labeled as crazy. As it stands now, it just doesn't make sense to have the business guy involved with these very important football decisions. There certainly is a way to defend it, and I understand that -- but their track record as a tandem, as well as Russ' track record with both Levy and Nix are not good.

Russ Brandon is certainly qualified to assist in the search. He has great experience with the assistance of hiring Dick Jauron, Chan Gailey, and Doug Marrone. Also...need to have a marketing guy in there to make sure the head coach knows how to deflect the media properly.

(I guess I'm not as funny as you. Sorry)

How could you interpret that post as being serious?

I'm very supportive of the bills paying Marrone $4 million to go coach the Jets. Brilliant move. Pegula is so rich that he bought a three team division.

So... Does this mean EJ > Winston ???

It's not a crime to be a simple person. Although maybe you shouldn't really be voicing such a strong opinion about being simple.

Freudian slip?

His success seems predicated on the talent of his QB. I realize that's not a wild statement, as it's likely the case for 95% of OC's, but I don't know what to expect out of his offense. Would he really implement creativity that caters to the players on the field, or would he force a system down everyone's throat?

I am accepting the fact that he will return. As many times as I shouted that he must go this season, I think I always had an inkling that as long as we finish 8-8 or better, we'll retain everyone. Let's face it...Terry is going to blow it up, or he's going to let Russ Brandon/Doug Whaley/Doug Marrone figure it out for one more year. If he let's them have the keys to the car for another season, they're not firing anyone.

Really couldn't care. They could have Reich and it wouldn't upset me. Until they get a QB they will be as bad or worse than us.

Joe B doesn't actually know his role. As an insider/beat reporter he constantly provides information on the air that any fan could recite. It's really annoying when they ask him questions in his segment and he states that, "well they have a good defense so..." and other generic phrases that never get in depth explanation. I'm not saying he could have or should have known, but as an example, the kind of information that would be informative to me would be having an inkling this is Orton's last year, or some insight on the Mike WIlliams situation, or how the players feel about Hackett, or the Doug v Doug spat. Basically anything that is not regurgitated fact that any casual observer that watches the games and listens to the recap press conferences would know. But he wears a suit, so there's that.

To be fair, NFL teams in search of a quarterback are typically in chaos.

Step 2 - Trade all draft picks for the next ten years for Andrew Luck.

ARE YOU SURE???

I thought the narrative was that he won 4 bowl games?

That will be the narrative unless he doesn't improve this offseason.

Sounds like he truly isn't fast enough for the NFL.

Agreed. It's only weird if you actually expect big changes and shake ups.

Yep. It's impossible for the line to be an excuse for Marrone. His coaching "specialty" aside, we know what the players were capable of.
