That settles it, definitely in favor of it now

She'll always be my #1 Kelly

So when do we start the thread with the fanspeak mock drafts where no one ever looks at anyone else's and just posts their own without looking. I feel like we probably need to wait until after the Super Bowl or else the order isn't really set.

True. I feel like there is all this speculation about what they're planning on doing and the truth of the matter is they've been waiting on the same guy all along.

They referenced long-term vision because they hired a young coach. Come on guys, Slop and the Bulldog have to find something to talk about every day, this is poorly manufactured drama.

I feel like this is much ado about nothing

Sounds good! I'm jealous you got to go to South Bend, I miss it!

Wow, I didn't know we were presenting our bona fides! I will abstain from presenting mine, but I assure you I was around before the crash and lost my post count as well. I don't find your opinions at all out of bounds and I do appreciate much of the substance in your non-Rex related posts and I don't think you're mean-spirited so I don't think a block is in order. Perhaps we can agree though, that we are all cheering for the same team and very much want the Bills to bounce back as soon as possible and it may distract from the conversations on this board when people find ways to bring those conversations back around to something they're upset about? You seem like a good guy, don't let my disagreeing with your posts have a negative impact on your day or your experience here. We can agree to disagree.

Agent spin. He most likely had an interview to be QB coach but his agent floated OC to see if he could drum up a market. You know how you fix a busted resume? Coach up last year's number 1 pick, it's a no brainer to take that QB job over ours.

Since you felt the need to point me out by name, I will respond. I am glad Rex is gone. I wasn't one of the people lobbying hard for his firing for the weeks leading up to the event, but I'm happy with it. I probably would have been moderately annoyed, but just fine with us keeping him had they gone in that direction. I have no crusade against Rex. I AM quite tired of seeing you pop up in every single thread and turning things into you moaning about how he's gone and your feelings about it. Seriously, if there were a thread about milkshakes, your response would be "I bet you guys are happy Rex can't have milkshakes here anymore. Hope you're happy." Thread about Offensive Coordinators? "We wouldn't need a new OC if Rex were still here, you guys got what you wanted." It's old and it distracts from threads, please stop it. You pop up in here saying you aren't on a crusade because you never started a thread on the subject. Sorry, but that flies in the face of your posts here for the last 2 weeks and I'm going to call you on it.

Yeah I'm not saying I don't like him. I quite literally know nothing about him other than what was posted in this very thread. I was just responding to a commenter complaining about the negativity. Most likely. At the very least the people in the building KNOW who the next OC is, otherwise it makes absolutely NO sense why we'd be hiring offensive assistants without the input of the OC. Where the heck is Leroi when you need him?!

The guy was most recently on a staff people don't respect working under an OC who people REALLY don't want to see here. Our last RB coach is now the HC of the Chargers, it seems like quite a dropoff

Why are you posting stats in a thread about hot sauce?

If you want green hot sauce try picamas

Thanks for this

Come on, you know better than this. You have hijacked entire threads on your crusade. Not starting a thread on the matter doesn't absolve you of the million "hope you are all happy Rex is gone, you guys got what you wanted" posts you make in threads of any topic.

Come on guys. This has been misrepresented in every single hiring thread and corrected in every single one. The NFL has 2 classifications for coaches: head and assistant. Coordinator positions are not a promotion by that rule. If a coach is under contract as an assistant they can be blocked from taking a coordinator position because it is considered a lateral move. "Assistant Head Coach" is still considered an assistant and is not a workaround to the rule.

Franks is underrated on eggs, it adds more flavor than heat. I would go Franks on regular scrambled eggs and Tabasco on an omelette. If you have access to Cholula available I would recommend it over both in both instances/

So anyway, about the actual topic: it looks like the interview is today. It is my sincere hope we don't hire this guy. If we do itll kill most of the good will I have left for this team.

It's a new day baby!

Perhaps. The fact that Bortles didn't seem to progress as a QB under Olson is a concern to me though. He was the 3rd pick in the draft and one would assume if we don't go with Tyrod we will similarly be starting a high draft pick. A bit disheartening to see he couldn't make it work with him.

Feel free to mischaracterize what I said. I said that my observation of his playcalling last season was that it was predictable. Google his name and predictable if you want to confirm if this has been an issue for him at his various stops. There is not ground to make up. I don't think he will be good based on my observation and opinion. You are free to disagree with my opinion. However, if you feel the need to keep telling me I am seeing things incorrectly and my opinion is not valid, perhaps it would be best for you to PM me and not derail the thread with constant comments on how you think my conclusion is wrong? This is after all, a thread for discussing the relative merits of Olson as an OC. If your input to the discussion is simply "prove it" and then "prove it more", I suspect you will be predictably disappointed.

I don't understand what it will take for you guys to understand he's not coming. He has said he's staying in LA multiple times over the past few days

That was my point. Kelly is a far more competent offensive mind than the guys we're currently looking at.

It must be nice to "win" all discussion points with one-liners that don't actually address the issue. Cool beans
