thewildrabbit Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Most of the posters here have already come to the conclusion that there is no way the Buffalo Bills pay 10 million to any head coach. If it ever came down to a bidding war the Redskins make around 35 million more then the Bills, they can't compete. If Perry Fewell can get more wins with this ragtag group of players and coaches, then he has earned the job and deserves it. With 5 games to go Fewell is 1-1 Jags L close game Miami W Jets 5-6 @Chiefs 3-8 Patriots 7-4 @Falcons 6-5 Colts 11-0 If the Bills beat the Jets Thursday night and Chiefs the next week I'd think Fewell should be offered the job full time, JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dols are a bad team, as are the Chefs, and the Bills beat the Jets under Jauron IN Jersey. If Fewell can win-out, then you consider keeping him HC. But even then, he won't sell season tickets, so I doubt he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thank God that after the USFL folded that twobillsdrive was not around. I can only imagine the fanbase chatter with regards to Jim Kelly. Would have ran him out of town like Peters, Shannahan, and everyone else that says no thanks just once to us. Yea let him go, so we can get another, Dick Jauron, Greg Williams or Mike Mularkey type of somewhat successful coordinators, who are unproven or unsuccessful as head coaches, but most importantly come cheap. We had iron clad rights to Kelly so he wasn't going anywhere. Peters quit on his team. You don't reward players who quit on you. Ask any Philly fan if they think Peters is worth $11M. As for Shanahan, what guarantee do you get for your $50M? You think he's some kind of miracle worker? He had Elway when arrived with the Broncos and he left the team in flames when he left. As far as I can tell Shanahan has never had to build a team from the bottom, so why are you so convinced he can do the job, much less acting as his own GM? I would prefer someone who doesn't act like WNY is some kind of sinkhole. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Linky Thingy This is just his speculation and not based on any actual news...lame... Not saying we are getting Shannahan, but this is just more BS media speculation...not to mention, Snyder and Jerry Jones are not good fits for a coach like Shannahan or Cowher with the way they meddle. The more threatening potential job opening would be Houston who has some pretty good to premium players to build around in Daniels, Johnson, Williams, Schaub, Slaton, etc...

Doc Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Bills fans won't buy tickets for a winning team??? No. Winning and not making the playoffs, and then keeping a former-DC-turned-HC won't sell a lot of season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I want Shanahan as HC. But if he wants to also be GM and bring his Broncos DC Bob Slowik with him to run a 3-4, which is what I've been hearing, much less for $10M/year and part ownership, which may limit the Bills' ability to add players, I'll have to say "pass."

notwoz Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Shanahan, Snyder and Cerrato in one front office = nuclear bomb waiting to detonate. As a DC-area resident and someone who loathes the local football team with the racist nickname, I'd love to see that combination in action.

Would have ran him out of town like Peters, Shannahan, and everyone else that says no thanks just once to us. He hasn't said no. Some reporter made up some stuff. That said, like many other are saying, I'm much more interested in a strong gm/personnel department. It would also be fun to watch that front office in Washington.

The point is it seems like a lot of Buffalo fans are shocked when we are turned down now... And then when people dare say no it is all F You man F you.

Flbillsfan#1 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 First off, why is Dallas' name mentioned when it comes to a HC job next season. The Cowgirls are in first place in the NFC East and plan on firing Wade Phillips?! Really?! Second, like other posters have stated, if we didn't have a shot at Shanahan, then why we he agree to meet with us and spend 7 hours over a two day period talking to Brandon? Clayton is a baffoon. We're gonna continue to hear other ass clowns like him saying Shanahan, Cowher, Holmgren and the other available top tier coaches are gonna want to go to DC or other high profile cities. Dallas is mentioned because they face some GOOD teams in December & everyone expects Romo & the Boys to fold their tents in Dec. as they do evey year. Adam Schefter also said he did not think Shannahan would go to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob16151 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I look at it this way. Life will go on if we don't get Shanahan. I mean I'll be sad but they're the Buffalo Bills and I'll love them no matter who the HC is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think firing and hiring a coach in mid season is a bad idea. What coach would commit to a team with out first seeing what other jobs would become available. We have already been turned down by Holgram, Cowher, Marty, and probaly Shanahan. They should have kept their mouth shut till the day after the Superbowl and let Perry coach it out. If he produces he stays, if not you start interviews.

Jauron was the coach when the Bills beat the Jets earlier this year and the Chiefs just unloaded one of their better players - Larry Johnson. Plus the Bills beat the Chiefs last year. Now if Fewell beats NE and Atlanta then I'll jump on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
