Yeah...we need a GM from the Pittsburgh oragnization to set this team right!

I wasn't a big Sherman guy to start, but as the process advances, and his W-L record was discussed, I got pretty excited. It really was going to be like when Chuck Knox came to the Bills...a HC with a winning record.
Now that Jauron will be HC, I don't know how to feel. Disappointed, yes. His W-L record is not good. But does that mean he isn't a good coach? Those were pretty pitiful Bears teams talent-wise in those years.
And if Soprano's source is correct, on how Sherman tried a power play and pissed of Levy & Wilson, all I can think about is how easily things can slip through your fingers.

TKO on ESPN Radio on Jauron...
Initial thoughts..I don't care...we have a coach that has experience...and players respect him.
Pretty much a non-answer.

Did we miss the press conference announcing Jauron as HC? Or are you just making yourself miserable because you enjoy it?

Wait till the Super Bowl. We'll see how "the chin" does when it really counts.

Dead on correct! I didn't realize leading the #31 ranked offense (dead last in the red zone) makes you a great OC! I'm sure the fans at RWS will make Mike feel very welcome during his yearly visit!

Maybe she's like that woman who slept with Dr.J so she could have a child who grew up to be a tennis star. Then again, there are better athletes working at ESPN than Sean Salsbury!

Amazing...It's like Mort was a fly on the wall at OBD...how does he do it!

I will agree with Soprano/Mile High's predicition...with one exception:
Sherman - HC
Caldwell - OC
Jim Bates (not Haslett) - DC
Jauron - Asst.HC
April - some enhanced semi-asst role + special teams

Saturday night hockey game is any Canadian city? You can forget about the refs cutting you any slack. Can't spoil the drunk canucks party!

Obviously! After all, Levy and Wilson have been running the team for 10 days now and still no Super Bowl?
Have you considered the possibilty that the reporters are getting it wrong? I mean consider this formula: a) coaching candidate interviews = b) report comes out that recent interviewee is likely to be hired. How many times did that happen so far? 2-3 times????
So YOU read that as Wilson/Levy not being able to make up their minds and being incompetant. But it never occurs to you most of these reporters are reporting heresay right now!

Bills | Debating head coaching situation
Sat, 21 Jan 2006 11:47:24 -0800
Allen Wilson, of the Buffalo News, reports Buffalo Bills team sources said there may be a split inside the organization, with some favoring Dick Jauron and others liking Mike Sherman as the team's next head coach. If that is the case, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Dom Capers could become the compromise candidate.
As I said...in a vacuum, the press will start to report on itself!

I wonder how MM will handle that 'Fins road game at RWS each year? You think the fans were on him before?
PTR

Can you imagine getting a publicly-owned Bills team to agree on anything???
PTR

You could hire Bill Belichick and never win a football game. Nobody knows how things will work out. There are simply too many variables. All you can do is make the best judgement you can from the facts available. Despite what guys like Jerry Sullivan expect that a good GM/Coach/Owner ought to possess the ability to see into the future.

Admit it...how many of you thought we were doomed when the Raiders went up 3-0 on their first drive?
My funniest memory was SF Chronicle columnist Norman Chad predicting in his Friday column that the Raiders were going to dust the Bills. Funny...Norm never followed up on it. Sports columnists, like weather vanes, have short memories.

I think it would be interesting to do a little back search to see who indeed knew something, and who was posting out their rumps.

I get back often enough to hear their crap.
Like I said earlier, WGR seems to me like they are more interested in embarressing the Bills than covering them. And I think that philosophy comes from above because controversey generates interest. Consider how many times WGR reports very controversial things (like Levy and Wilson being at odds over who the new HC will be) and yet no other media outlet reports the same thing? That ought to tell you something.
Remember that the Sabres used to get the same treatment before 'GR started carrying their games.

In this case it's because eveyone knows the Bills already have narrowed down their choice to 2 white guys. If minority candidates are interviewed early, then I think they are legitimate. When they come at the end of the process, especially after the press has "leaked" who a team is most interested in, then it's usually a charade.
PTR

Yeah, well Simon and Schopp sounded more intelligent on WNSA too. I beleive "the suits" control the content on WGR, and they want controversy. Morrison hasn't been hitting too many home runs lately

You really ought to listen to yourself. This board is so worked up about what the rest of the NFL thinks of the Bills, yet you advocate doing something that would do major harm to the franchise...based on a rumor, by the way.
Do you think Marv is driving away good coaching? How would the Bills look to a prospective coach if Levy got fired now? Mularkey did us a favor by leaving, and no one cares that he quit. Wilson and Levy will look very smart if they hire Sherman.
But no, lets do it your way. We'll hire people and then fire them as soon as WGR says anything bad about them. Then we'll scratch our heads wondering why no one wants to work for the Bills.
PTR
-
I'm sure that's what WGR reported...then made up something else to fire up the miserable the next day. If 'GR reports something...I don't buy it. You can't trust a media outlet that's more concerned with embarressing a team than reporting the truth.

The one concern I have, I heard this from Jaws on ESPN, is his accuracy. I was amazed how Big Ben was able to put some balls in very tight spots this past weekend and I have not seen that from JP yet. The quick slants in the red zone and the seam routes require a lot of accuracy in this league because of the speed on defense, thus accuracy is a concern to me.
Accuracy can be comprimised when you are running for your life.

Except the money arguement doesn't apply here. Sherman was guarenteed $3.2 mil a year from GB. No matter what Ralph paid him!! Ralph could pay Sherman $1 and he would still get $3.2 mil a year!!!
