zow2 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 oh god- say it isn't so. Here's newsflash, Frazier is good because he has really good players. DO you realize how good Perry Fewell's defense would be if he had the Vikings talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 That is quite telling, considering the Bills can hire him but not announce it until Minny is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire's Beer Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 That is quite telling, considering the Bills can hire him but not announce it until Minny is done. It is. Count me among those who are concerned that Frazier may be a product of his player personnel rather than any great talent on his part. I hope that's not the case, but it's a legitimate concern.

Big Ian Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just because he does not want to interview with the Seahwaks does not mean he is the next Bills coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastly Dareus Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 So within 1 hour of Jim Mora being fired... Seattle has managed to reach out to HC candidates AND they don't even have a General Manager? Maybe Frazier decline because he looks at them and theres no GM, or maybe its just speculation.

Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 So Seattle reached out to Fraizer the same day as they fire Mora and he gives them about an hour of consideration? Doesn't seem right. I mean I guess that could signal that the Bills are hiring Fraizer but it's still weird. Esp w/ no GM yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Well, I'd say it is telling. I couldn't see him turning down an interview if he already didn't have another one in place. I don't believe he really has the luxary to pick and choose jobs as some of the other big headliner coaches do. To tell you the truth, I wouldn't be disappointed with this pick, I'd rather have Cowher, but it appears that he doesn't want to come here and Frazier has been sought after or at least heavily considered and vetted over the past couple of years. I'm thinking this is our new head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 link Once Mora was fired, the Seahawks called the Minnesota Vikings to seek permission to interview defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, the source told Clayton.

wardigital Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 The one thing that this seemingly flies in the face of is the claim by Buddy Nix that having head coaching experience would give candidates an advantage. The reason that I bring this up is because, while it didn't necessarily mean that he'd hire a previous head coach before making a choice, you'd think he'd at least interview one. And we know that Brian Billick, at the very least, wanted an interview. If we hire a Leslie Frazier type, I'm willing to give it a shot. If we hire a Leslie Frazier type without even interviewing some candidates with previous experience, I'm livid. It immediately sets up Buddy Nix as a liar. In the very first thing he does. They can't do that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know how this is going to turn out (whether he's the choice and if so whether he'll be any good), but just think for a second about what you're typing. What you've said is you want your team to follow the lead of the Rams and Lions. These are obviously two well run organizations and we should model ourselves after them. Really?

Maybe Frazier felt that he did not have enough time to study their roster and their situation to be prepared for an interview this week. Who knows. I still Billieve we are getting Bill Cowher.
