Look at the difference in Wade vs Marrone Jauron Mularkey. It's night and day when it comes to their attitude and demeanor. You could probably make an argument for either side for Chan, but I'd personally put him in the positive bucket.

No Way.

Just gonna say that. Somewhere, someone is saying "9-7 with the Bills. Dude can coach. Period."

He was quoted as saying "...and get rid of those 3 old white dudes that are always saying its too cold in here".

They need someone to size everybody up for their rings

Love it. "He's just another guy"

I want to hear the new coach come in and say that he's gonna run Sammy until he pukes.

We should have tried this with James Hardy

Is there a precedent for this type of behavior from other coaches around the league? I can't recall a situation where a coach left on his own accord, then bad mouthed his former team, and then looks for a job. Saying anything to Polian on his way out the door, he had to know that it would leak to the media in a matter of days, so why say anything? Ego? Somebody is going to hire him. Similar to a player who has issues, there is a buyer out there somewhere. But he'll be on a short leash due to all of this turmoil, which doesn't really suit his personality. As TO once said, get your popcorn ready!

Thats awesome....and very true.

My prediction is that he'll end up getting hired for a couple of years and then fired because of the same issues that we've had with him. His gametime decisions are questionable and so are his personnel decisions (Hackett, Caveman, Urbik, etc). His attitude is where the desire to have him as a coach comes from, but as we know, that can also be a negative in this media hyped, PC world.

Not a surprised that Gase and Bevell are favorites on this board over Jackson. Did Gase work wonders with Manning? Really? Manning might be the last player in NFL history that needs to be "coached up" Bevell? Flavor of the month. Farve was kind of good without him don't you think? Also, he didn't discover Russell Wilson, thank you. Wilson carried himself and played like a 10 year vet when he walked into training camp his first year. Look it up. Jackson is tough, has leadership, is innovative, and maximizes his players performance everywhere he goes. I much prefer him. Jackson's candidacy reminds me a bit of Arians before he was hired by the Cardinals. He appears to be able to hold players accountable and can command a team, something some of these other candidates...well... I'd be shocked if they were able to do. Just my 2 cents. Good post! And likening him to Arians is promising. He was my favorite last time we were looking for a coach and he's done well with the Cards.

I'm back to hating Bill Polian now

The guaranteed positives of leaving ($4MM plus whatever his next contract is) outweigh the potential negatives (tanking next season and getting fired) of staying. He's selling while his stock is high, and I can't fault him for that. But I still hope he fails miserably because I'm a prick.

Hats keep the bugs off of your head. Not a hard concept to grasp...

I'm on board with Laser ssssssssssssssssssssss

I'm not going to coach the bills. (now imagine someone with a lisp saying this)

I hope he gets hired and fired in the same year, just to make things tough on him.

TBH, I don't really know about either of these choices. JMO

yes, they connect.

I've noticed that some of the posters have been pretty slow this morning, but the threads are working just fine.

Spiller -5.9 ouch

I think so too. The good thing is that the talent stays with the team, even if Schwartz is gone. There's just no telling what the next guy will do with that.

His intangibles are off the charts though
