I guess you don't give the people employed by the various teams in the NFL much credit...or yourself too much. Scott simply said that there's some office gossip about Gray to illustrate the chaos that is currently OBD. If you've ever worked in any office you know that the ones which are poorly run have this type of stuff going on constantly. Nobody with any intelligence leads any credence to these outlandish office rumors but it does illustrate poor management. Yet you somehow think that you alone possess the brains that can somehow see through it all and the guys doing the hiring in the NFL might actually believe such gossip? Umm, sure, you're really smart for not believing office gossip! Perhaps you should go look up the definition of the word “libel” before you actually start using it in sentences.

I think it's the way it's shaking down and not what is happening that is disheartening. I didn't want TD gone just for the sake of firing him. I wanted him gone only if they hired a viable GM to replace him. IMO they didn't. With TD gone I thought they should have canned MM too, otherwise next year was pretty much a wasted season. If the team struggled Mularkey was likely gone (fairly or unfairly). Firing him at the same time as TD would have just cleaned the slate and allowed a fresh start. Now with Mularkey quitting a job he's likely never to get again, that doesn't speak well for the organization as a whole. It's embarrassing to think that a bad head coach who probably won't ever get another shot walks out the door instead of working with the current staff.

Thank God Mularkey played Holcomb so he coudl save his job.

Yeah, let's can Bobby April too!

Did I miss something? When did someone threaten to attack Mularkey or his family?

Belichick is considered the best coach in the league and his name isn't that big, it's only 8 letters by my count. We already had an 8 lettered coach and that didn't get the job done. Maybe it’s not the coaches name that matters after all?

Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya Oh Lord, kumbaya

Robert Edwards did eventually come back, albeit briefly. Unlike a RB a QB isn't really required to plant his foot and cut. Hopefully Palmer is able to come back. There is a derth of quality QB play in the NFL, the last thing the league needs is its star youngster calling it a career.

Not that I disagree that Mularkey should have been let go a week ago...but the way this has played out is a total embarrassment to the Bills organization. Solid organizations don't have this type of circus atmosphere.

Or it could simply be that nothing the Bills have done this past week has made much sense...

This joke might have been funny a few seasons ago. However, given the way things have shaped up in Bills country as of late it has the ring of truth to it these days.

Knowing how this team loves to give its fans hope only to dash it at the last second it wouldn't surprise me if they called the press conference to let the fans know that Mularkey is staying. Note: I have no clue what the pirate emoticon means but I've always wanted to use it.

Sweet, I’ve prepared the gallows.

I'm sure the networks think that the Bills front office would make for "good" reality TV - whatever that means.

I was being facetious with the Carroll comment.

I would guess that what happens in Buffalo is no worse (or less) than what happens in any city when the team is struggling. I don't fault Mularkey for looking out for his family first but I'm not sure what he expected when he took the job.

Don't forget ex-Pat too.

Kind of interesting that it took years for Romeo Crennel to get a shot at a HC job while Mangini is likely to get a shot after a single season. A season, I might add, that hasn't been that great for the Pats D.

We could hire Pete Carroll.

Yep.

He's a candidate for almost every coaching vacancy in the league.

Umm, as of now we still have a coach. How on earth could another one (who's still in the playoffs btw) already be lined up to take over?

Don't forget the vinegar.

While I hope the "family considerations" is nothing serious I also hope that Ralph and Marv accept the resignation. This will put us a year ahead of schedule during this latest rebuilding.

I'm not so sure he'll be an outstanding RB. He's never been "the guy", meaning a guy that can carry the load when a team needs it. He'll be a guy that gets 15 touches a game (running & receiving). Whoever gets him had better be happy with that. He's also a guy that, on just about every single play, takes the ball and runs outside, whether there's a hole between the tackles or not. It's not a matter of running to the outside when something isn't there inside, that USC OL dominated and there were consistently places where Bush could run inside. Instead he elected to run toward the sideline 7 times out of 10 (if not more than that). He's spectacular in the open field, probably the most electric player I've seen. But he won't be hitting the corner in the NFL like he does in college. Running backs that can’t run between the tackles aren’t successful in the NFL. That in combination with the fact that he'll likely need to split carries with another RB makes me think that the team that drafts him very high might not be so happy with the selection a few years down the road.
