Can he fix the Run defense. We have atrociously been horrible against the Run for the last decade.

You went 1-3 over the weekend. It was going to be tough for Cincy to go into Houston and win that game against Wade.

+1. It would have been nice for the Bills to have given Graham a lot of reps in the pre-season games and introduced him into the starting XI at the beginning of the season rather than putting him in the spotlight of just making the winning play against the Patriots. Nix would have probably offered the Job (HC) to Norv Turner based on his time with the Chargers. Whaley would have offered the job to Wisenhunt or Horton if he had full control. The fact that we hired a College coach, more than likely indicates that the decision came from the 3rd decision maker in Russ Brandon

Why? DeHaven was pretty pedestrian in his 2nd stint with the Bills. Kevin Greene will want to run a 3-4 scheme. What makes Frank reich a good coach ? Just because he wants to be back with the Bills. The only comment from Frank was that if Wisenhunt became the HC, then there was apossibility of a coaching position for him (Frank) with the Bills. Maronne should be given full control to identify his coaching staff. I hope he does a good job of assembling a good one. It can be the difference between a 6-10 and 10-6 easily on this team.

Agree with your comparison to folks on that list except for Horton. Horton is as much an unknown as Marrone and has been successful running a defensive program in Arizona. I would have been happy with a Horton hire too.

The thought that "Coaches cannot simply fire NFL Players" is way over stated. If a coach doesn't like a player, the team will find a way to get rid of them. Even the last regime gave the boot to Lynch and Edwards when they found that they could not work with them. The new regime will do the same.

That is a little out of the blue. Why would he take the DC job of the Bills, but spurn the HC job of the Cleveland browns. Both have similar talent levels and the Browns have a "less" of a issue at QB than the Bills (especially in a weak QB draft). IMHO, from a coaching perspective, both the Browns and Bills are on par with regards to everything. In fact, the one strong thing going in favor of the Browns is the stability at the ownership position. If you are the HC of the Browns you have a shot at a 3-year program to resurrect them. If you come to the Bills, who know what happens, if RW passes away. That uncertainty will always hang over the Bills.

He sucked as our starting QB and he sucked as our QB coach and he sucked as the interim OC. Pass.

I think Nix's stint as GM has been average. He has added some good talent and depth to the roster, but has also made some critical blunders especially at the QB position. The only think a good GM would have done is to look at the 2013 QB class and realize that there is nothing there and made a conscious effort to pick one of the QBs in a QB rich draft in 2012. Some of the other failures on Nix's part is bringing in Merriman and paying him all that money, signing a washed up RG in Green. Finally, to this day, the signing of Brad Smith has been a big bust.

No to Greg Williams and DeHaven. The game has gone past DeHaven. He is a average to poor ST coach. I hope the Bills can get Bobby April back after he was purged in Phildaelphia. Gregg Williams should never coach in the NFL for what he attempted to do with the players.

I am not sure who these players are. The only one that is wild is Barnett, who free-lances on plays. Sheppard and whoever is the other LB are simply not good. Dareus will probably go through a tough conditioning and off season and may be Maronne will be able to motivate him.

:wallbash:

A quote from another article on TBD front page: "The Bronx native immediately set out to change the culture of the Orange program — instituting a discipline and dress code that was an abrupt departure from the previous coaching staff. More than 20 players left the SU program during Marrone’s first 15 months on the job." I think this will be really good for the Bills. The Bills teams in the past have had really soft HCs in Jauron and Gailey. Some amount of discipline (especially when taking off plays or free lancing for others) will help mold this team. This has been one of the biggest areas of concern for the Bills. I hope Doug can turn this around and have them focused to play full 60 minutes.

Please don't tell that to the two teams. Every team cherishes playing in a post-season game. It means national recognition for their program.

:wallbash: Levitre is young and in the prime of his career. We need to re-sign our best. Our weakest list is our QB. It would be interesting to see how the Doug's are going to resolve that position. I just hope they do not think Fitzpatrick is the answer. You need consistency from the QB position to win and the only consistency that Fitz has given is that he has started for close to three seasons with 15 wins. It is insane to assume that we can easily replace Levitre, our best OL player. We need to re-sign both Byrd and Levitre and the Bills have the money and cap space to get it done. The real question is whether Byrd and Levitre want to be a Buffalo Bills football player.

I don't think the Browns would have made a "Splash" if they had hired Morronne. I don't think the Browns are in any bad shape. There are still some excellent Head Coaches available.

Last year, they lost out to Washington on RGIII and this year Kelly turns them down. I feel bad for the Browns.

I don't think you need your HC to be a Offensive or Defensive genius. Your HC should be able to develop the team in all three phases. He should be able to motivate the team and bring a sense of direction. In fact, I would prefer that our HC not call any plays and focus on the game as a whole.

Actually doing the WC offense with Spiller will be awesome, especially if they can get an accurate QB like Alex Smith. This may actually work especially if they can get Levitre and Byrd signed up. Then they can focus on the 2nd WR and the LB Corps in the draft. Lovie, Testman adn Marinelli Get Er Done

And Andy Dalton - 2 seasons - 2 playoff appearances (0-2). Fitz Patrick - Almost 3 full season of QB play - playoff appearances (ZERO). The Texans Defense was pretty stifling today. Wade Phillips called an awesome game today.

I don't know if Norv Turner is connected with Lovie to become his OC. I saw a ESPN article where they suggested that Norv Turner could become the OC of the Jets replacing Sporanos. That would be a big blow to the Bills. I hope the Bills can snatch Norv Turner as the OC.

Who will be the Defensive Coordinator. I do not want the HC to also be coordinating the offense or defense.

Special Teams Coach: Ronnie (Freaking) Jones And No one should forget our very own Chuck Lester!!!! (Longest Tenured Coach in Buffalo Bills History)
