bills44 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 who was the defensive coordinator on the 1999-2000 rams team? how about the '97-98 broncos? (start your google searches now) Greg Robinson. As an SU fan, I can tell you that hire didn't work out too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest three3 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Greg Robinson. As an SU fan, I can tell you that hire didn't work out too well. my point is you should not be proud that you people know coordinators from decades ago on teams that you are not fans of. the fact that some of you do is quite pathetic (if you are an SU alum, lori, that is a good reason to know that fact, i will give you that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 who was the defensive coordinator on the 1999-2000 rams team? how about the '97-98 broncos? (start your google searches now) Without google searching, I'm pretty sure Greg Robinson was the DC of those Bronco teams. I can't recall who the DC of the Rams was, but I'm pretty sure Lovie Smith was the DC in 2001 when they improved greatly. The larger point is that making fun of sports knowledge geekdom on a good fan site is kind of like ordering steak at a vegetarian restaurant and then condemning the restaurant for not having it. The site is what it is. If you don't like it, there are probably other sites out there where the fans aren't as knowledgeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only were you PROUD to remember the name (not the right one) you were proud to remember that Billick had nothing to do with a win and got lucky that a DC built an amazing defense. You sir, are more pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sir, are more pathetic. he was in a good situation. he had a good GM, good defensive players and a good defensive coordinator throughout his time there. the one thing he was brought in to do (offense) he pretty much failed at doing. yet you people want him to coach the bills, a team sorely needing an offensive mastermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Billick was a great offensive mind until he became a head coach. He wouldn't be the worst hire but I'd like to see the Bills conduct a half-dozen interviews. Not many HC openings.....yet......hopefully they can be a bit choosy.

Max997 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 4 more then we had during the last 9 years of course but the Bills also dont have a dominate defense in place or anywhere close to resembling one the point is the offense held the Ravens back which doesnt say much about a head coach that is supposed to be an offensive guru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyklip Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 not really. if you have coordinators from 10 years ago ingrained in your memory you might want to leave the house once in a while. there is more to life than tv and computer screens The problem with your argumentation, as some other rational people have pointed out is that you used false info to make a point when in fact, the reality of the situation that you falsely describe could be seen as a positive for Billick as he seemed to bring on 3 successful d-coordinators in a row when they were taken from his staff. Not bad, eh? You don't need to be a computer geek to realize the imbecility of your claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever Since '86 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 not really. if you have coordinators from 10 years ago ingrained in your memory you might want to leave the house once in a while. there is more to life than tv and computer screens How do you end up making fun of people for being able to remember things about a sport they have probably followed since they were little?
