Checking in late so I'm sorry if this was already covered, but I thought it was hilarious that they totally ignored TBN until the very end of that PC. Jerry and Bucky must have been doing a slow burn. Great theater.

When you fire the head coach you do not have continuity by definition. I suspect they would rather not have done it, but it was pretty clear to everyone it neeeded to be done. Once it's done, everything is going to change. Pretty obvious, no?

I will reserve judgement on this one. Assignment as running game coordinator is interesting. I thought Kromer was doing a really good job, but changes like this are inevitable when you hire a new coach. He is going to make his own bed. Let's see what the plan is.

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the info JW. A few comments and a question:1. I would certainly hope so, or he is a dolt. Don't think he is. 2. Perfectly reasonably that the owner would want to feel comfortable and feel a connection to the guy who is one of the two most important people in the football operation. Again, I would hope so. 3. Good. 4. Every executive is constantly evaluating the key staff in his organization. Everything matters. Totally agree with you here - had to have an impact. 5 it would certainly seem so. My perception is that Terry is interested in results, and while willing to give his people room and resources to succeed, he does not suffer fools or put up with gamesmanship. Whaley is on his last loop of the rope. I hope for all our sakes he succeeds. So in tomorrow's press conference, do you think we will actually be treated to some football related discussion, or would you expect another snipe hunt? I want to hear what this guy thinks about the team. (my snark is not directed at you by the way - you are always professional)

Wow. It sounds like he would rather be the water boy in Baltimore than OC in Cleveland. I bet Cleveland is glad the Browns are not a dumpster fire like the Bills.

I fully expect the Buffalo News "reporters" to embarrass themselves again.

This is still not confirmed. Same report linked earlier that they will hire him, but he is interviewing today and it has been reported elsewhere that he intends to evaluate options. Maybe he takes their offer today, but has not happened yet.

Always cracks me up when a random message board poster criticizes the intelligence of a self made billionaire. Thanks JW. Voice of reason as usual.

More fact free speculation. This guy could get a job at ESPN, or maybe even TBN.

So Bucky, what is it you do all day?

I would certainly expect the Bills would have to up the ante, but hey, it's not my money so go for it. Beyond that who knows what his motivations might be. For me, it would feel like returning home with my tail between my legs to go back to Denver. I think it depends on just how proud, and just how career motivated he continues to be. Denver could be seen as the easy decision, but somewhere else could well be the best career move. I think he is too young to give up on career aspirations which would put Denver at a disadvantage to me. I think much depends on what discussion McDermott and the Bills had regarding the QB situation and plan, something we are not, and likely never will be, privy to.

I think it is a bit early to make that conclusion. How about we actually see the guy play first?

Exactly. No doubt throwing the little tidbits out here and there helps create interest for an upcoming article - can't blame him for that - but he is always careful to be right before throwing out the story. For too many of these tweeters, the 140 characters is the story, with no need to go further. Sloppy, lazy, and all too accepted anymore.

Same here. I immediately hated myself.

Agree with all of this. The thought of Norv as OC makes me physically ill. This guy needs to retire already. I would rather see them stick with Lynn before Norv. (Assuming McCoy goes elsewhere which is certainly not a done deal) I am not a big fan of Lynn either, but he would be a better option for the Bills than Turner in my opinion.

You are giving this poster too much credit assuming he actually has a real point.

Yes, that is frustrating, but unlike the useless LaConfoa, JW actually prefers to have actual verifiable sources before putting his name on a news item. I respect him for this.

Well, that did not take long. I am so sick of the nitwits at the Buffalo News.

It was a nice try, but not going to happen. He will continue to post the same opinion over and over in every thread opened, just in case you missed it.

Well, actually, many of those long passes Fitz completed were very well covered and were in perfect places for the receivers to make plays and they did. I am not trying to say the D overall could not have been better, but that was a lightening in a bottle game for Fitz.

O'Brien is Doug Marrone 2.0. He has badly underperformed on offense with great defense, failing repeatedly with QB decisions. Not that he builds the roster, but he decides who will play and certainly has input. Their personalities are virtually identical. No thanks.

I don't have a source but I remember from the last search that McDaniels turned down an interview request from the Bills. Probably did not sit well. Some may remember that when coach of Denver he was an arrogant douche. Not a surprise coming out of the Pats. Also, by the way, Shanahan did interview with the Bills last time. I suspect if that experience was positive they would be interviewing him again, but apparently not.

I kind of thought they might interview Wade. That would be interesting. Maybe they tried. Shanahan interviewed in the last search. Reports are that it did not go well. I suspect it is mutual disinterest at this point and I am ok with that. Personally, I would not be in favor of McDaniels. I do not think he will be able to stand up on his own, just like last time. Patricia is intriguing, but in general the track record of ex Pats coaches is not good.

gregg Williams? Now that's funny. I know funny, and that's funny.
