VADC Bills Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Lets put an end to the Charlie Casserly for GM garbage. When Bobby Bethard left the Redskins he left them a Superbowl contender. Casserly took over and made bad decision after another turning into a very mediocre to bad team. I was living in DC at the time. We couldn't wait to see him go. He was eventually fired. After a stint of doing television which he is better suited for he was hired by the Texans. Once again he showed he could not take a team to and beyond mediocrity. Why would we want him as GM when we have an opportunity to pick a proven winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperKillerRobots Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't like Shanahan for the Bill's job because of how bad his defenses have been. He has never been able to put together any sort of reliable defense. I think we really need to get a defense together that can dominate. That being said - I'd take Shanahan andf who knows, maybe he will hire a defensive coordinator and let him get some players for the defense.

nucci Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 can we stop using caruccis as a sorce. he is a bum and is almost always wrong. just because he lives in amherst does not mean he is right or ahs any inside knoledge. he is so far off base, sometimes i think he just makes things up. for the sake of the fans and the team, lets hope he is right on this one. You may not like him but he is a good reporter and I'm sure respected around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said - I'd take Shanahan andf who knows, maybe he will hire a defensive coordinator and let him get some players for the defense. Shanahan will have learned some things from the past. What is great about Shanahan is that he is a true offensive innovator and would know how to develop a QB. Even with someone like Fewell as DC we would probably be in great shape overall as a team. The thing is a decent chunk of our defense is already there, esp. the defensive backfield. I don't like Cowher as much because although he is a tough coach, Pittsburgh was set up to be a tough, smash mouth team for decades and he continued the tradition. I see Shanahan as more shrewd in dealing with the Bills mess quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we'll stop because you don't like him. Even though he was clearly right on when he said about four days ago that the Bills were being proactive about the structure and management of the team, before anybody else had any notion that any of this was going on.

KD in CA Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 i just hope no one here kills themselves when perry fewell goes 4-3 and gets hired for next season. Seriously....if you have been around long enough, there's just no way you are getting your hopes up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 What do you think is meant by 'low maintenance' - is that a direct reference to Snyder meddling, or something else? Depending on perspective - the Bills certainly need a lot of maintenance at this point, no? Meddling? Wait until Jeff Littman gets in his way about salary spending. Littman may have had more influence in the Peters negotiations than Russ Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mousetrap08 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 http://blogs.nfl.com/category/news/ COWHER and SHANAHAN as SERIOUS candidates!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! EDIT: Carucci wasn't kidding when he said the Bills were being proactive. Geez!!!!!!!!!!!! SECOND EDIT: Here's ANOTHER LINK!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.buffalonews.com/452/story/866323.html Right now every thing is just speculation and rummer so Iam not going get excited about anything.Iam not going to get caught up in any of this stuff because talk is just talk and that is all it is right now.All this Shanahan and Cower stuff is just BS.to me it will have to be proven to me because a leopard doesn't change his spots and Ralph is an awfully old leopard.I still believe well get some old cheap retread of a coach just like always and the Bills will continue with the same old story that we have grown a custum to for the last 10 years.Untill I see Shanahan or Cower in a Bills hat I'll believe the Bills will still be the same old BILLS.

BuffaloBaumer Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 OK, here is the bottom line. The ONLY way that a top level coach does not come here is if they REALLY don't want the job. There in no way in HECK Ralph and Co will ever live this down (after all the hype) if a b level guy is hired. The cat is out of the bag and it's not going back in!

NoName Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm hoping the Bills bring in Charlie Casserly as GM and let him make the choice as head coach, the guy does know personnel."The list of other potential head coaching candidates among the NFL assistant ranks is a long one and includes Dallas' Jason Garrett, Denver's Mike Nolan, Miami's Todd Bowles, Minnesota's Leslie Frazier, the Jets' Brian Schottenheimer, Baltimore's Hue Jackson and Philadelphia's Pat Shurmur. " http://www.buffalonews.com/452/story/866323.html Another name I'd look at also is a guy that was so innovative last season it blew my mind. This offensive coordinator set up a power running game utilizing THREE tackles on an unbalanced line and ran the ball successfully 70 yards. The defense knew they were going to run and couldn't stop them with 12 in the box, thing of beauty. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron of the Baltimore Ravens. Did this guy not coach the Dolphis to 1 win......you must be crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
