Sure Elway was a legend but it was Davis that made that team a champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede316 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 "Why Shanahan MUST be hired" Well...Now that it's been brought up...Anything other than Shanahan or Cowher or Holmgren will be a monumental letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gflande1 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 How long do you think we will have to wait? Any chance we will see a decision before the end of the season? I hope they hire someone soon so they have a chance to start evaluating the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede316 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I could easily live with it if they hired Marty. He's a good coach. I think the one name of all mentioned that would make me absolutley puke would be Kevin Gilbride. Oh god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrahammer Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 It's got to be Shanahan. The way he was let go in Denver, he will coach with a fire never seen before with a chip on his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrocles Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Jason Smith on ESPN radio early this morning was on tirade about how Shanahan would never go to Buffalo, and that the very idea is laughable. It was quite the nasty rant, but he made all the usual points about Ralph's age, the fact that the team probably won't be around much longer, and that it's a small unattractive market. Hopefully Smith is wrong, and Ralph's money talks... Who knows? The Bills are still an NFL franchise. Anyway, I now consider Jason Smith a "bad guy" whose name will appear in red!

billsfreak Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well, with three thoroughbreds like them on the open market, the odds are pretty good we'll get one of them. I love your optimism, but don't be so sure, so you won't be disappointed. Afterall these are the Buffalo Bills and Ralph"Spend as Little as Possible" Wilson we are talking about here. I will believe they actually have found a clue with regards to running an NFL franchise when they prove such to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saddest thing about it is, alot of Bills fans were thinking the same exact thing. I still don't believe he would come here, not with some of the other teams that are going to have vacant HC positions. I really hope they sign a name coach, and me personally, Shanahan would be my first choice over Cowher or anyone else, but my money says it is going to be either another retread losing HC or another young coordinator who comes much cheaper than any of the name coaches will.

wonderbread Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Jason Smith is a bald headed douchebag. No reason for him not to dogpile on the rabbit. Its the status quo. If that makes him more marketable then that's what he will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Cowher better for one reason - the drafts he was part of. Shanny didn't seem to do that end of it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griswold Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 MS would be nice. Though, it one thing for the Bills to decide he's the man. It's another thing to convince MS that the Bills are the team for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Sports/It...n-vs--Belichick I know this makes a world of sense on one hand and we have the Bills front office on the other hand, but still... I'd LOVE Shanahan to come here as think outside his record against Belichick you have to love the fact that he only had 2 losing seasons in 14 seasons in Denver, of course he did have 1 1/4 losing seasons with Los Angeles (Raiders). Yet I also like that he is also a guru of the WCO which I think is the best offense for Trent Edwards, assuming we keep him, Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson. Lee Evans might not fit but Shanahan did good things with Eddie Royal last year as a rookie. Also his prescense might help us land a free agent or two. Two names worth looking at are his TE in Denver Tony Sheffler and LB DJ Williams both due to be UFA in 2010 and think both be improvements on our current roster.
