Ditto Corey Moore and Avion Black. That '00 draft may have been the worst in team history, and should have gotten a lot of people fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Good post , I was just pondering this question myself.... I was happy until I saw Friggin' Lonnie "friggin" Johnson Let's nip this one in the bud before any more get it wrong....the "friggin" part comes before Lonnie, not between Lonnie and Johnson.

evilbuffalobob Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Now do the same list for Nixs' contributions to San Diego... where there was good coaching behind the scenes and on the field. Besides- our problem is not the draft (future or past), it's been the O & D schemes and lack of enthusiasm and bad game day coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides- our problem is not the draft (future or past), it's been the O & D schemes and lack of enthusiasm and bad game day coaching. this guarantees we get a so so coach and a so so team. Ralph is so old school its not funny. kiss the ring and you are in. doesn't matter if you have any track record of success. let the mediocrity continue. I'll bet Nix came cheap as well. 70 years old? is Tom Landry available to coach as well? is he still alive? gosh it sucks to be a bills fan.

purple haze Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 70 years old? is Tom Landry available to coach as well? is he still alive? gosh it sucks to be a bills fan. WTF does his age have to do with anything? Does he know what he's doing that's all that matters. If you are under 50 and know more than Buddy Nix about football at any level put in your resume to get a gig in the league. Do you know more than Buddy Nix about football?

DonInBuffalo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Nix Here's the wiki link...no names but he did draft a lot of pro bowlers Here are the ones I could find, leaving out special teams:Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Drew Brees, Lorenzo Neal, Jamal Williams, Shawn Merriman, Marcus McNeill, Nick Hardwick, Kris Dielman, Angelo Cromartie Seven of them have been to multiple Pro Bowls.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 ...and with the money RW saved on the GM hire, he can (in his head) justify throwing the ranch at Buffalo Bill Cowher, who, by the way, should be excited to come here and play with our running backs- Lynch (the underachiever sometimes know as beast mode) and a new type of Slash (D3 Jackson). Actually, I think the Nix hire greatly reduces whatever minor chance we had of signing Bill Cowher. As many NFL pundits have already said, Cowher would want the GM authority, if not the title. It is believed that the Pittsburgh GM, Kevin Colbert, took his orders from Cowher...not the other way around. Cowher will not want to report to Nix...who reports to Brandon...who reports to Ralph. He would not position himself so lowly on the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
respk Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'm not too sure about Nix, but if Tom Landry is available and willing sign him up!! He's made the playoffs more than once, he's won a super bowl and had some pretty decent teams IIRC. this guarantees we get a so so coach and a so so team. Ralph is so old school its not funny. kiss the ring and you are in. doesn't matter if you have any track record of success. let the mediocrity continue.

He would not position himself so lowly on the pecking order. His press conference seamed to say just that. He would be looking to givethe coach the room to request the people he needs to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
