You can't hate the guy for saying this. He got the shaft from the front office while he was here. Don't get me wrong, Gregg dug his own grave in many ways (airhorns and the like), but he was just not ready to be a HC quite yet. I know I'm not alone, but I've always thought he'd be a great HC down the line some day in his second go-around. I really believe that.
And I don't take that as a dig against Buffalo at all. It IS cold up there. And we've gone 10 years without a playoff birth. Now he's in New Orleans and playing in the Super Bowl. He's not taking the piss. He's just stating facts. If anything, it's a slight at the organization, not the town.

We gave him his first shot as a HC. Even though it all went bad, a guy with Gregg's ego doesn't forget that. If he ever makes it big as a HC, I would not be surprised to hear him say a lot of positive things about his experience here.

Yeah, that's how I want my HOF candidates chosen - 10 guys stuck in their mother's basement voting 100,000x each.
Michael Irvin surprised me the other day. He was on NFLN talking about which receivers, outside of Jerry, deserved to go to the Hall and as I waited for him to say Chris Carter or Shannon Sharpe, Michael says without a doubt, Andre would be his choice for the HOF.

Welcome to the Information Non-Super Dirt Road my friend...
OMG, just read a rumor that the Bills are considering Chan Freaking Galiey for the open HC spot!?!
ha ha ha, now that is a good one!

well, that's him gone midway through next season.

Thank you kindly NGU.
Just seems strange Buddy could be "buds" with Marty, but couldn't work with him.
Well, given the public view that Marty would want final say in personnel matters, perhaps Buddy thought, hey Marty, I love ya, but I just got my dream gig and I'm not about to hand over the reigns after a month.
-
Great minds think alike?
I don't think so. Ralph does not like Marty. I don't know exactly why, but I remember when the Bills beat Marty's Chiefs in the AFC Championship at Rich back in 1993 and Marty was not pleased about how the fans treated he and his team and he dissed the Bills and their fans after the game.
I was there, and that crowd was lit that day, and they did shock the relative peaceful and cordial KC fans who rolled in in buses to cheer their team with pom-poms in hand. Some of the worst behavior I have ever seen from Bills fans, but that's football and Bills fans have a reputation for being rude and obnoxious when they are winning. If Ralph is still hung up about that, I would not be surprised, but get over it.
boo hoo.
I don't know how closely you followed the Bills back then, but the two times we faced the Chiefs prior to that night were both in KC (one earlier that year, the other a MNF game a few years before that), in which we got our shorts handed to us and we had to suffer through that stupid tomahawk chant through the fourth quarters of those games. All of Arrowhead standing in red doing that stupid chop with the stupid chant while the Bills are getting smacked around on the field.
So, to this day, I will bow down to the genius Bills fan who started the chop at Rich when the AFC Championship game was in hand. It was like the entire stadium reacted in unison to the Arrowhead taunting from earlier in the year, standing as one and essentially saying @#$% off Arrowhead. It was a beautiful moment and it was quite funny. Ahh, the memory of it still brings a tear to my eye.

Ummm... You must not be from Buffalo. Everyone rips on the area, even if they can't point it out on a map. I love this place, and can care less what people from Charlotte think.
I've been all over this country, and the crap stinks everywhere.
ha ha, Charlotte. No character, just nice lawns.
Reminds me of the old expression about Rochester (no offense), which applies equally to Charlotte - a couple of parking garages surrounded by suburbs.
I'll get my hat ...
-
I have to respectfully, but strongly, disagree with that statement.
Trent Edwards showed flashes of being a very good QB. With the RIGHT coach, calling the right game plan...and with some weapons in place...he can succeed.
Well, if the rumors that the League is considering banning the forward pass come to fruition, we're in like flynn...
-
Tim, you were at the PC. Couldn't you have done something to prevent this? It's like you just watched a train wreck and stood there holding the camera. Why didn't you jump in and help, somehow?
Seriously, though, this sucks.
ha ha, I can see it now:
Buddy - "now before I introduce Chan as our new HC, if there is anyone here who believes that this coaching hire should not occur, please say so now or forever hold your peace."
Tim - "please stop. You should know that the Bills really love Marty and Marty really loves the Bills. Just give them a chan-ce..."
-
Evidently, Schottenheimer wanted the job, but Wilson pulled the chicken switch.

would explain his son's reaction to our interview offer...
-
I know Tim didn't write this, but ... I have to say the more the national media (and even the local media) harps on this hire, the more I'm going to forget my very disappointed feelings about the hire and close ranks with my fellow Buffalo Bill fans around Chan Gailey.
As they say, they may be the stumblin, bumblin Buffalo Bills, but they are our stumblin, bumblin Buffalo Bills and no whiney Mosely, Clayton, or fat guy with a funny grey streak in his hair can take that away from us.
-
I heard his comments on the Gailey hiring and he was spot in.
- Bill's fans deserved better
- This hiring will scare nobody in the division
- A disappointment after this "extensive search"
Spot on.
I heard that. Very strange coming from a former Belichick player. How many people said the same thing about NE when they hired the Cleveland cast-away...
-
jeeze, the guy just got hired give him a break,if you want it done right,you have to do it yourself.besides there is too much negativity on this board!!! GO CHAN GO
erm, the term is sarcasm.

"I thought that he got a raw deal when Todd Haley fired him right before the beginning of the season. I'm guessing that the'r opposing philosophies clashed, and Todd wanted to run the offense the way he wanted to run it, so he fired Chan.
With that said, Gailey was an awesome OC for the Chiefs last year, during the Herm regime. He made Tyler Thigpen look like a star QB, which he wasn't obviously. The guy knew we had a bunch of crap, and was still able to make it work. He changed our offense into a weird pistol offense, but we started doubling our offensive production, so the dude knows his crap. If you guys can get a good D coordinator, I think your offense will be good. I liked Chan a lot."
What exactly is a pistol offense?
It's when the coach stands behind the QB during practice and if the QB doesn't release the ball within three seconds, the coach shoots the QB in the back of the ankles. Sort of a derivation of the Tuna's count to three technique.
-
It all makes sense, instead of watching the Vikings D smackdown of the "hottest" team in football, OBD was interviewing Chan.

Sully became a columnist because its the only job where being a spiteful, hate-mongering troll is considered an asset.

I think Sully is usually right. Oh, except for this time.

It's funny how the collective intelligence just gets lower and lower around here. This is as true as Cowher being a done deal. Stop supporting the media making stuff up because they heard it from another reporter.
OK, according to Casserly:
Buddy Nix conducted a stealth interview of Jim Harbaugh;
Harbaugh impressed Buddy so much that he wanted to offer him the job, but Buddy has already stated that the ultimate decision as to who gets the job is made by Ralph, so...
For Buddy's first real hire as GM, he offers the job to Harbaugh without Ralph's blessing, NOT LIKELY. Instead Buddy would say to Jim, if Ralph gives the green light, would you want the job. Harbaugh says yes?? and then Buddy gets Ralph's blessing and THEN Harbaugh says, oh sorry, just kidding, I want to stay in Palo Alto. I call BS.
All that happened here was Buddy called Harbaugh to inquire as to whether he was interested in the job. Harbaugh, either after sitting down with Buddy to discuss it, or maybe without the discussion, said no. This happens all the time, but is a far cry from Casserly's "Buffalo offered the job to Harbaugh." Casserly is still bitter about not getting an interview for the GM slot, because as he'll tell you at the drop of a hat, he is the greatest GM of all time...

People will tell you "anyone can win/look good with the players that they have".
Yes they will. Yawn. And many of the same have criticized our recent drafts as DB heavy and overly focused on light linemen, blaming Jauron's influence, something that the local media appears to have confirmed.
So, having succeeded with a big guy front four in Minnesota, which type of player do you think Frazier will want Buddy to focus on if he comes here.
As for Al Saunders, I'm not his biggest fan, but at least he has experience running an offense, which would be a change for us, and perhaps he learned a thing or two from his Washington disaster.
-
Let's all hope the Vikes put a spanking on the Cowboys this weekend and maybe Brian S can bring in our old buddy (and Marty's) Wade to run the defense.

a winner doesn't mean a superbowl winner. he had playoff runs with: bubby brister, neil o'donnell and slash. these were not good quarterbacks, but fit a scheme the coaches designed on the strengths of other players around the team... where the qb could succeed. that's a mark of a great coach.
yes it is.
On another note, and in an attempt to contribute to the Cowher frenzy in whatever way I can, as has been observed by others, neither Cowher nor any other member of the CBS team hinted at a Cowher-Buffalo connection yesterday, but I was intrigued with Cowher's comments on (I think) the Pete Carroll situation. My memory on whether it was PC or some other coaching candidate is failing, but Cowher spoke passionately about having that coaching desire to prove yourself when referring to PC's return to the NFL and stated something to the effect that he understood that feeling perfectly. He even had a bit of a grin on this face. I think he really wants to coach next year.
I also think people associated with the Carolina gig are in his ear, maybe not official team people, but the potential investors we've all heard about. And it is this factor that is keeping Cowher from making any commitment to the Bills. If this goes away in the next week or so, Cowher's desire to scratch that coaching itch may be so great that he comes to Buffalo afterall. And if he were to do so, I would not hold the Carolina delay against him. Like any of us when faced with a great offer, with perhaps an even greater offer (from his familiy's perspective) developing, you see if you can buy some time, hence the failure to publicy distance himself from the Buffalo job. Meanwhile, Buddy looks to develop alternative candidates until such time as one side or the other hits a drop dead date. At that time, if the Carolina situation hasn't resolved itself, it will be time for Bill to put up or shut up.

Yes you lemmings read for a change, Rivera says he doesn't want any distractions until the Chargers season is over.
Lemmings I say, lemmings.
well said.

Congrats to Wade!
Cheers to Flutie!
you Ralph! My sentiments exactly.

I'd say that Jason Peters fella from Philly. It may cost a pretty penny, but he has a history of wanting to move after a pro bowl selection, so he may be ripe for the picking. Plus, if we get him, he won't have to face Demarcus Ware unless we're in the Super Bowl...
