If Lynn were the frontrunner they would have offered him the job already

Agreed. It would be foolhardy to expect him to criticize the Bills, but whomever runs that show makes several terrible assumptions: 1- that the listeners agree with Murphy 2- that the show needs listener opinion. Murphy spent an hour talking about how awesome the "new blood" coaching search is and how it's so imperative that we have a coach who can relate to the players. Ironically, Murph does not relate or understand his listeners because they open up the lines to callers and then one after another they all express confidence that the coaching search is unimpressive, so he lectures them. I don't understand if OBD is truly so insulated from the fans that they are confused by this, or if they are SO used to constantly selling us a bill of goods that they just never turn off the spin.

Looks like we're signing Opie as the new HC then.

Today is set to be a lull in the action supposedly and I hate it. Someone just give me some actual information!

If we didn't this board would have about 95% less content than it does

I don't like the local media (this is a shock to everyone I know). That said, I completely disagree. The media has a right to ask whatever "gotcha" questions they want to ask; the readers have the right not to read clickbait articles; and Doug Whaley has the professional obligation to handle all questions with a certain level of competence. He did not.

It's cute that you think we're still in purgatory. This is hell.

At the very least it's encouraging we don't have a "don't let him get out of the building" mentality. Impulse shopping is rarely a good idea. I imagine Russ would have been a great used car salesman "I understand the pinto doesn't have a working engine and there's a rusty spring popping out in the middle of the driver's seat, but trust me when I say this is a highly desirable car and I have 3 people coming in this afternoon to look at it. If wouldn't walk out of the building without paying cash." n

Do we know who Richard's Coordinators would be? yeah but what do you mean by "no", are you saying they are heartbroken over Marrone?

It's hilarious trying to hear him defend this team over and over. The call screeners can't keep everyone off the line and there have been multiple callers basically saying "as long as Whaley and Russ are there it doesn't matter who the coach is", John's answer is always a very curt "they aren't going anywhere" and I think it makes a big difference who the HC is. Narrative is now - we are too good for retreads, this is a "Doug Whaley" search and we are bringing in young coaches who can relate to todays players.

I wouldn't trade up for Kizer, but I'd probably take him at 10. He's an average leader, but so are most QBs coming in to the league. He can make all the throws and has good mobility but is absolutely a pocket passer first.

Obviously his plan to move was based on analytics. You wouldn't believe what he can do with some analytics.

Rumor has it Richard's resume was printed on neon green paper. Ownership did not appreciate it. No longer a candidate.

I decided long ago to despise this man without any information to back up my decision beyond the fact that he quit on the team. I stand by my decision

LOL, I like how you demand answers like he owes you something. You are aware he gathers information and writes about it as a profession, correct? I do not walk up to your office and just you do work for free because we both post on here.

True, but Wawrow told them he's listening at the door, so Sully and Vic are both furiously penning another damning "takedown" of ownership. Both will publish something that has no actual new information and just revolve around their own speculation.

It could be all or no ways. This thread is 100% speculation. Whaley may decide to hire himself and then give the HC control of the 53 man roster. That way he has both given up and retained control. This is pretty much the only way the media is right.

Please show me where they said they WOULDN'T?. The fact that they haven't doesn't mean they have a policy or preference against it

Logic has no place on the stadium wall

This is pretty much the only logical opinion. He combined lox and cereal and realized it was a mistake.

People who still watch ESPN content remind me of people who still have AOL. Watch NFL Network on demand like a grown up. ESPN is outdated. I can go to 1 of 100 websites today to read coverage and watch clips of pretty anything relevant to my sports taste. They rely on a pre-internet system and think charging for "insider" information is still a way to do business. I'd put twitter above their "insider" analysis all day, just give me information. Perfect illustration of the difference between ESPN and NFL Network - Mel Kiper v Mike Mayock. One one hand we have a talking head who continues to fool people into thinking he is an expert and puts his opinions out there as authoritative vs an actual player who gives analysis and doesn't feel the need to defend his opinions because he admits talent evaluation is an inexact science.

I mean if personality were in direct correlation to coaching effectiveness I'd say hire this guy. Kind of hard not to listen to that video and not be pumped up.

Skurski on the other hand, still plans on being quite poor at his job.

Yeah that's fair enough, sorry about that OP, I'm grumpy in the morning
