Mr. WEO Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think he means that before all this happened, we would have viewed this as a sick April Fools joke Though not many would admit it--this is absolutely true. Can you imagine the response as the season was winding up if, all at once, the Bills announced that the Nix was the GM, Gailey the HC, "Curtis Modkins" as the OC and "George Edwards" as the DC? Like, a big press conference where they introduced them after the following introduction: "After a careful and exhaustive search......we introduce your new Buffalo Bills coaching staff!!"

BillsVet Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm sure if you said this the day after DJ was fired, that most people would have reacted very negatively. But the rationale spread that even though no one wanted these guys, they were fine for Buffalo. Marv Levy, Russ Brandon, Buddy Nix, Dick Jauron, and Chan Gailey were people no one wanted across 31 other teams in the NFL. Somehow, they've become good enough to desperate fans. Cue the Marv Levy 1986 comment about not being wanted. Too bad Chan doesn't have Bill Polian as a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 lol. I stay away from boards for the most part because all the slow adults have to post their unfunny april fool's threads. But this one is good. Made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I would believe it because a good April Fools joke has to have something incredulous in it. What part of this joke seems out of character for the Bills? Hiring Shanahan or Cowher? Now THAT'S incredulous! PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 lol. I stay away from boards for the most part because all the slow adults have to post their unfunny april fool's threads. But this one is good. Made me laugh. Yeah, this is the only worthwhile one. I wish all the rest could somehow be confined to one single thread because they are stupidly annoying (do those two words go together? well, they do now).

It was more in the reaction of the posters over the subsequent months where I found irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Edwards was a great hire and I haven't heard anyone say anything to the contrary. Curtis Modkins was a funny one, but we all know he's a glorified assistant.

Coach Tuesday Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 He's an idiot You know, I could dredge up your incendiary threads from the days on which these moved happened, and contrast them to your post-lobotomy view of them, but I really don't have the time...

Curtis Modkins was a funny one, but we all know he's a glorified assistant. Edwards is a position coach who has had 7 jobs in the past ten years. "We all know Modkins is a glorified assistant"...because Gailey is such an outstanding offensive genius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cocktosten Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Edwards is a position coach who has had 7 jobs in the past ten years. They were all vertical moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 They were all vertical moves. True. Going from a DC back to linebackers coach is a vertcal move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
