I just don't get it... Reports earlier this year stated that TD wanted "X" as coach and Ralph wouldn't pay whoever TD wanted. Someones fuggin lying to us and I for one being a "loyal" fan am getting sick of the bullSiht.
My take on the whole thing and what I kind of forsee happening:
With Donahoe gone now and Ol' Ralphie being too involved in the HC hiring the last two times around. I think Marv gets way more "play" in his leash than TD did. With Ralph turning 198 years old this year the life clock is ticking away and so is his possiblity of ever winning the superbowl. With that being said I really feel that we get a quality guy, who has already been a HC in this league with success. The wallet will finally open up soon (somehting he should've done for Weiss or M. Lewis). The key is Marv and Modrak compiling the right canidates for the job. I have a good feeeling about the decision this time around becasue of the above statements that I made. With that being said..
Good Luck Marv choose wisely.
Edit: Forgot my canidates.
The only coordinaters to consider:
Gary Kubiak
Al Saunders
Sean Payton
Former head coaches worth a look:
Mike Sherman
Jim Fassel
Thoughts?
My choice out of the list would be Sean Payton.
Proflie.
See anyone on this list (below) that would have an immediate impact in Buffalo? If Biron or Noronen is traded do we go after a foward or a defenseman? I say go with a foward like Marc Savard. He be effective right away and add another scorer to our line up.
