Potential QB additions
Cotton Fitzsimmons replied to nick in* england's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think they do. I think we would all collectively be as excited to have Tyler Thigpen up in here as we would if say, we named Chan Gailey HC... oh wait... -
Mr. Gale Gilbert... all I can say is you definitely would have been in the minority of those not satisfied with Marty being hired. I was holding out hope against hope that we could land Cowher. But Marty was #2 on my list... and I would've been thrilled. Because, I would have reason to believe that with Marty on the sideline, this team would be a 10+ win team within a season or two. Now we have Chan Gailey, who got sheet-canned along with Turk Schonert before the season started. Chan Gailey, who wasn't on anyone's radar for a HC gig in years and years. He hasn't sniffed an NFL HC job in a decade. Honestly, I can't even see the debate here. This debate begins and ends with common knowledge that Marty is infinitely better than most other NFL coaches... and isn't even in the same league as a Chan Gailey. Now I hope and pray that Gailey will somehow turn this thing around, but this feels exactly like it felt when Dick Jauron got hired. I can't even believe the organization made this hire. They knew after the way this season and the Dick Jauron thing turned out that they HAD to bring someone of a certain reputation in here or the pitchforks were going to be out in full force. And their response... Chan... Gailey.

Well now, here is something new!
Cotton Fitzsimmons replied to XTC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well that will be swee ass. Chan Gailey and Mike Vick... I have a feeling that "pistol" is going to be more like a cap gun. -
It's clear that Nevergiveup has some sort of inside info. That being said, this board has gained an enormous amount of publicity over the years within Bills Nation, and due to this fact it's perfectly logical to believe that Russ and the F.O. keep tabs on this board daily. My question is... knowing full well what the response from the fanbase will be... WHY hire Gailey? He's had no real success in previous HC stints and will have a vast majority of the fanbase irate. I truly believe there is a plan in place to keep the team in Buffalo, and am not buying into the conspiracy theory of intentionally pushing fans away. That being said, however, WHY Gailey?

The short list of Nevergiveup's TRUE identity: 1. Coach Sal 2. Pat Moran 3. John Guy 4. Joe Logan 5. Hugh Heffner What say you?

What is the connection between Gailey and Vick, that the article seems to imply? Or is the article just stating that it would be interesting if we landed Vick, what with Gailey coming to town. Personally, I think all of this sucks. Vick, Gailey, the whole SHE-BANG. -
Coach Sal show on tonight...some Cowher news

EZC, you were getting censored left and right out there tonight! You were in a foul mood brotha! -
Jay Glazer has a ton of "buff news" on coach
Cotton Fitzsimmons replied to SuperBills12's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I keep seeing people throwing out Callahan's name too. WTF??!!! Did anyone not watch this guy completely embarass himself in Oakland and Nebraska? If we were to hire Callahan, we will pine for the days of Dick Jauron. -
McNabb out in Philly?

Marshawn Lynch steals 20$
Cotton Fitzsimmons replied to Kingfish's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Who knows what happened with this, but the sad truth is, this guy has to go. Supposedly when he was drafted out of Cal his stock had dropped due to "questionable character" and that was a point hotly debated on this board as to what had happened in his past and whether this claim was valid. However, all he's done since being here, is have one episode after another. He's always suspended, in court, being sued, on probation, etc. There's always an explanation or a "but..." behind it, but to me it's just not worth it at this point. Maybe he's being set up on this one, maybe there's more to it, but in my mind it's just another distraction and enough is enough. -
Probably some STIFF fines, I'll betcha that.

In ICEMAN's defense... I stand corrected. His record at Stanford is 17-20, this year being his best at 8-5. I thought he had a much better record since joining THE CARDINAL. Still has them headed in the right direction it seems, but not nearly as impressive as I thought.

Was that Jim Harbaugh or Stan "Diego" Humphries? (WOAH... blast from the past!)
-
I didn't see the Live chat with Sullivan, but I heard that he said Jim Harbaugh is being talked to by the Bills (under the radar of course like all of the other talks). Can anyone confirm this? If so, I feel good about this bit of news. While I am squarely in the Cowher or bust camp, I think Harbaugh would be my #2 choice. He's risky for sure, but what he's done at Stanford has been phenomenal. And his bravado cracks me up... Carroll: "What's your deal man?? Harbaugh: "What's YOUR deal MAN?!" I can just see him coming in here and busting Belichik's balls like this. It'd be freaking hillarious.

True dat Rocketship! I love when Chris Brown reports that Michael Lombardi reported that someone in the Bills office thinks they're close to possibly making a decision. WHO-AHHHH BROTHER! Rock on!

When Bills Name Head Coach...
Cotton Fitzsimmons replied to Cotton Fitzsimmons's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Perhaps a selection from the late, great Minnie Riperton anyone? Keep the feedback coming... Ye Ole' Cotton is in the lab! -
Good point Lori. That's very plausible. It's just tough to decipher at this point. I can't say that I've seen a story take on such a life of its own like this Cowher thing has. Despite the abysmal decade of Bills football we just exited, there were some big acquisitions, stories, and rumors (Bledsoe, Spikes... Seifert at the airport, etc.), but this thing has had to cost countless more hours of productivity for the masses than any of those combined. I know I haven't gotten anything done at work for the last couple of weeks! By the time Cowher is hired, Ye Ole will more than likely be canned.
-
FWIW... Logan supposedly broke the story that the Bills were firing the entire coaching staff about 2 hours before anyone else picked up on it. Sal discussed this on his show the other night. Now, allegedly, Logan was wrong about Cowher being in Buffalo yesterday, but I've since heard he stands by this report despite what other outlets are saying. Take it for what it's worth at this point. Could be good info. could be BS. One thing to note, however, the guy is all about East Aurora, and that's his main focus on his shows/blogs. He rarely talks Bills stuff, so I'm not sure what his motive would be here to intentionally throw out this info. The subject matter is not really in his wheel house so to speak.

When Bills Name Head Coach...
Cotton Fitzsimmons replied to Cotton Fitzsimmons's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ye Ode to Cowher is a'foot! -
Ye Ole' has received various PMs from the posters of this board requesting that Ye write a very special diddy in honor of the new Bills head coach (when such a coach is named, naturally). And to honor this grand occassion, it has been requested that Ye Ole's diddy be EPIC and GRANDEOUS! One for the ages! A real jazzy number! You will all have this splendid work of art to look forward to very soon. Any requests for this song? What say you?
