Posting something like that without a source is akin to pulling a Bud Dwyer around here; so at least the avi fits If i've learned anything in this process it's that Buffalo keeps things COMPLETELY under wraps with Brandon. Out of nowhere, they interviewed three candidates without anyone being the wiser. I've also learned that Cleveland's people, while progressive, have big fuggin' mouths. It seems like every three seconds, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer is releasing a new report telling everyone to pack it up. That Chip's going to the Browns. Yet, he continues to interview. I have to wonder if Chip appreciates it.

Great read. Really good stuff. Everyone should really check that out. But I think what all of these reports are saying is that half of these guys are just trying to break stories. They're running "Reports" with very little information and then they're all coat tailing them. All it took was Buffalo sending out an official statement that they interviewed him and now there's a little backtrack. http://profootballta...chip-kelly-too/ Truth is, everything's so confidential around here and no one in the national media cares enough about us to investigate. We could have interviewed the guy for half the day yesterday and Cleveland the other half - and these talking heads wouldn't have even known the difference. Just a lot of hot air lately and it's kind of sad. In today's instant information age, everyone's trying to break a story and jumping the gun. I hope that's the case and we somehow end up with Chip. But, again, i'm trying not to get those hopes too high.

Ah, I see. Well, Chip spent 7 hours or so with Cleveland and about 20 minutes with us? That's not good.....

A.) I haven't gotten that text. B.) They never send texts out this late. C.) How the is that even possible? Did you receive this or are you just hearing this?

If Alex Smith goes elsewhere, Joe Flacco re-signs, Matt Flynn isn't on the trade block, and the fanbase/organization isn't interested in Michael Vick; he may be the best option. Honestly, i'd say he would be the top QB taken in this years draft. But, then again, it seems everyone's jumping the gun a bit. Kelly's still taking interviews.

Trying really hard not to get my hopes up. Again.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/04/report-colt-mccoy-has-been-told-hes-in-chip-kellys-plans/ This is interesting. If Weeden isn't in Chip Kelly's plans, I wonder if we'd be a potential trade partner.

Excuse my ignorrance, what's Buffalo Chips?

You know what? I'd have preferred Chip Kelly straight up telling us "no" to the interview, if this is truly the case. It would have been a lot easier to deal with than thinking that we actually had a shot just to have every media member in the world tell us that he's interested in all of his options. Except us. Russ, if you think trotting out Ken Whisenhunt after everything you said at your press conference is going to fly; think again.

Yeah? And he all but reported Buddy Nix was fired too. His reputation took a big hit because of it, IMO. I don't understand. I could see Chip Kelly granting us an interview for leverage. But why the hell would Buffalo interviewing him as a "token gesture"?

Yeah, it's busch league. But since WGR only comes in on the radio in Rochester from 8-5 (also busch league!) - I thought it was my only option for live streaming. Thanks for the TuneIn heads up. I'll only use it for the Audio Vault now!

Bears - Bruce Arians Bills -Chip Kelly Cardinals - Ray Horton Browns - Ken Whisenhunt Chargers - Lovie Smith Chiefs - Andy Reid Eagles - Mike McCoy Cleveland and Buffalo's choices probably switch. But this is wishful thinking.

Yeah, well, that might bite us in the ass if Chip Kelly chooses Cleveland over us.

Wasn't this the same guy that was reporting Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas bought the team? Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh. Sounds legit.

Now ProFootballTalk and, even, WGR are running with LaCanfora's tweet like it's some sort of gospel. Why don't you just come right out there and say "he'll interview with Buffalo, but I don't think he's not going there because Buffalo sucks". And how do you know this info, LaCanfora? Last I checked, no one was even sure he was going to definitely coach NFL ball. Now you know he's not going to come here? Why is he interviewing then? To me, it's just negative Bills propaganda perpetuated by the man to hold us down! Brandon was right, we are irrelevant and it's sickening. I mean, seriously? The Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns are getting all this publicity like they're great franchises and we're a wasteland? SERIOUSLY?!

Yeah? Yesterday ESPN reported with 95% certainty that Andy Reid was going to be the Head Coach of the Arizona Cardinals. They're reporting today that Andy Reid is all but certainly the Head Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't hold too much credence on a tweet by Jason LaConfora. If that were the case, why even take the interview?

They can have Bill O'Brien. If he's the type of guy to, after ONE SEASON into preaching hope and convincing kids to give Penn State a try, leave; I certainly hope the Bills aren't considering him. Honestly, I don't see what's so great about the Cleveland job. I'd think we'd have the advantage with Chip having the ability to choose his QB in the draft or free agency, instead of being saddled with Brandon Weeden. I'd also think C.J. Spiller would be a more enticing offensive weapon for him than Trent Richardson.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! FUGG YEAH DOGGY! .... sorry. He's #1 on my list. I had heard all day that we reportedly wanted to interview him. But hearing reported interest and seeing a confirmed interview is taking place by the national media is another. Sorry Doc, I was just looking for this kind of confirmation. Fingers crossed!

When? Just now or yesterday? Last I heard was just speculation from Howard Simon saying that they were "going to make a push for him". That's all i've heard so far. I'd like something more substantial than that as Russ says he's going to "leave no stone unturned". So of course he's going to say "we'll make a push for (so and so)". I'm not sure until I read that it's definitely happening.

Source?

Yeah, outside of Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden, Chip Kelly, or Bruce Arians (which are all basically pipe dreams); I can't think of a better hire for us. Certainly an upgrade from Chan! Do eeeeeetttt!!!!

I said "yes" because I don't know how you could possibly be a fan right now if you aren't optimistic with change on the horizon.

Why? We aren't the only ones. Don't just read "Arizona Cardinals Coordinator" and assume it's a bad move. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/31/cardinals-receive-several-requests-for-ray-horton/

Actually, Ray Horton is kind of a chique name around the league right now. Good defensive mind. And let's face it; a Bills coach with corn rows is a pretty boss visual.

Didn't we want to interview him 3 years ago? I thought he told us to go fly a kite. What's changed, Russ?
