BillsfaninFl Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 As with any job applicant, a candidate for head coach must have a combination of abilities. While no one is perfect, all coaches are stronger in some areas than others. It might be evaluating player talent, helping players to develop, calling offensive or defensive plays, building a game strategy, motivating players, game clock management, hiring assistant coaches that have strengths in his areas of weakness, etc. A number of recent posts have asked who would be the best HC for the Bills. But few responses have indicated what comparative strengths make their choices good candidates. Hiring a big name HC doesn't automatically mean success unless his strengths will be deciding factors. So who do you believe would be good for Buffalo and WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlHowardman Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nothing changes for the Buffalo Bills as long as Ralph Wilson is the team owner. Nothing. Period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who do you believe would be good for Buffalo and WHY? I believe a head coaches greatest strength would be to surround himself with the right people. People that know what they are doing and will help him succeed. That being said, regardless of who Buffalo could or would get, unless the front office changes, the Bills will still run a low-budget operation which fields a team consisting of players of mid to lower level caliber.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I honestly think that Jauron has many of the attributes in a good head coach, which is why his failure is inexplicable. 1) "Players' coach"-- players respect coach, play hard for him, he treats them with respect, probably should be ex-player 2) Prepares the team well during the week-- makes sure the team practices well, prepares them for game situations, and makes sure they don't commit mental errors on Sunday. 3) Strong leader--knows how to delegate authority to assistants, knows the right coaches to hire/fire, holds people accountable, leads by example 4) Adjustments-- makes the right adjustments on game-day 5) Game-day manager--manages the clock, challenges, has a good feel for the game to make big game-day calls.

The Senator Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 A good head coach knows how to swing his sword, and is in touch with his 'inner-pirate' - just like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
