Um, are you guys whistling past the graveyard???

 

From the Schefter espn piece linked to above:

 

The Bills also will investigate options expected to include Florida Tuskers coach Jim Haslett and New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride, both of whom has ties to the Bills.

Didn't see this, but it seems much more speculative than having actually taken the steps to contact Shanahan.

So this would be pretty much the opposite of Mike Lombardi's "get friggin' huge guys" approach.

 

Small mobile O-line, small mobile LBs, super fast DEs...etc. Hope you "huge guy" lovers are prepared.

You hit it- the main reason we do not want him here. We don't need a revamped midget team.

isn't this a bad way to do Fewell?????? name him interim then immediately go out and talk to shanahan almost on the same day...shouldn't shanahan been contacted and named coach to begin with????

 

Normally I'd say yeah, that sucks. But after 10+ years of crap, I don't care what they think of one guys feelings.

Please football gods.... we've suffered through Williams, Mularkey & Skeletor.

 

Shanahan would build an O-line and actually RUN THE BALL!

Bring the 3-4 back to Buffalo. 6 of the 7 front seven are already here:

 

DE- Stroud

DE- Williams/Kelsay

NT- draft in '10

OLB- Schoebel

OLB- Maybin

ILB- Poz

ILB- Mitchell

Fewell's got to know that this organization doesn't have much ability to go with someone without a proven track record. He's got to know that nothing short of completely turning this team around and having them run the table or come damn close to that isn't going to be enough to put him into serious consideration. In the past perhaps he could have been a serious contender with almost no experience, but not at his point.
