Dont forget how our new offensive coordinator is also our running back's coach. That's 2 jobs for 1 salary! Ralph can dig it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Again- try not to get too caught up in the names (or lackthereof). If any of these NFL coaches have really good players at their disposal....they will win. Buddy Nix and signing some meaningful free agents will be the key to Chan Gailey's success. The Colts barely even have a coach... it's really Manning and Polian running the show. The coach is just there to throw the red flag and not screw it up.

BillsPhan Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Let's hope they do not repeat results in Buffalo Here's how it works with these old timers in the NFL: The GM (Nix) talks the owner into hiring his "guy" he knows and feels comfortable with (Gailey.) Then, Gailey hires assistant coaches that are his "guys" that he knows and feels comfortable with. Thus, these "guys" from Georgia Tech and Kansas City are comin' up to Buffalo to help Chan turn around "his" team. Maybe if the Bills would have hired a younger coordinator or head coach from college, that younger guy might have picked and chosen from around the NFL for guys he thinks had the best chance to succeed based on their coaching resume's. The younger guys are not part of the "good ol' boys" network yet, obviously. But Chan's been around for years, and now he's bringing in his buddies from those years. I hope it works out for him and his best buddy "Buddy", for we long suffering fans' sakes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 lets not get too carried away here, its not like we have Bill Polian in our front office or a Peyton Manning available via the FA market No, but if we have a really good GM and find a very good QB, Chan Gailey and his crew will have a great chance to be successful. I'm just not getting dragged down by these coaching hires. If Nix is good, the other stuff will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't find one via free agency and it's far too early to say Bradford or Clausen is going to be the next Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it works out for him and his best buddy "Buddy", for we long suffering fans' sakes!! This is pretty much how it goes. Imagine if Gailey decided to hire Charlie Weis for OC. Almost every single fan would be singing his praises and expecting nothing less than a trip to the Superbowl. But if Gailey and Weis don't get along or have different offensive philosophies, you're asking for trouble. They get out of sync, the players get out of sync, and it shows on the field. Gailey needs to hire the guys that agree with or buy into his game plans. Guys who will pretty much be a "yes man", but also be independent. You can't have an All-Star cast of assistant coaches because they'll all want to do their own thing. When you clash egos like that, there's no way a team can actually be a team.

zow2 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Great, but we don't have a really good GM and we don't have a really good QB. We won't find one via free agency and it's far too early to say Bradford or Clausen is going to be the next Manning That's the thing. we DON'T KNOW whether we have a good GM or not? the dude is 70, but maybe he really knows how to pick and choose for an NFL roster? (and get us a good QB). I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment. If however, he proves to be a lousy GM, this coaching staff will really stink up the joint as well.

But that begs the question: Did young Todd Haley go out and get Weiss and Cronell to join his staff, or did Scott Pioli basically tell Haley he was hiring Pioli's old buddies from New England?? Haley is the odd ball here, and he just happens to be the head coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
