BenchBledsoe Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 He certainly won't win it, but isn't MM going to get some consideration and a few votes for the Coach of The Year Award? If they finish 10-6 or 9-7 I think he should finish about 3rd or 4th in the balloting. MM's shown the team resiliency, if nothing else. Compare MM to Tom Coughlin, who some on this board were clamoring for earlier this year! Glad we didn't hire that guy. He loses his teams quickly with his drill sergeant approach. The future is indeed bright for the Bills with MM, me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I think Coach of the Year awards in sports are stupid. It almost always goes to the coach whose team showed the most improvement over the following year. Schottenheimer will win the award most certainly. Are we to believe that he is somehow coaching better this year than last year? Is he coaching better than Bill Belicheck? Having said all that, I think TD nailed the coaching pick with Mularkey. I like his game day decisions, the offensive game planning/creativity and his overall demeanor. I think we have a keeper for a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Schottenheimer is almost as much of a lock for coach of the year as Roethlisberger is for rookie of the year. It must be the year of long German names when it comes to individual awards in the NFL this year. Who takes MVP and how many syllables in his last name? I'm very happy with Mularkey though, and glad to say I was among those who said Buffalo should not hire Coughlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtGodel77 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The Mularkey hire made sense. The Gregg hire didn't make sense for a lot of reasons; one of which was we already had a competent defensive coaching staff in place. Our coaching problems were with offense and special teams.

silvermike Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'll admit it, I would have really liked to see Tom COughlin as the Bills coach. I'm really, really happy he proved to be an idiot in New Jersey instead of Buffalo. What is he doing over there - they were going to the playoffs before he put in Manning - what a disaster.

ATBNG Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 If the Steelers go 15-1, I think Bill Cowher will be coach of the year. I think for Schottenheimer to get in the hunt, SD has to beat Indy in two weeks. If they get lit up (as is probably likely), it will cost him votes since the game will be fresh on everyone's mind. Mora's in the hunt, but ultimately it is difficult to take the NFC seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 too bad its not the Irish names - "McGahee" (I know, I know) and Mularkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT will have a big game against the Colts, so I don't see the Chargers getting lit up. Dominick Davis ran up 122 yards against the Colts with a below average O-line.

Greg de'Ville Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Marty S. He's done a tremendous job this season and his Bolts are on the cusp of wrapping up the AFC West. He's resurrected Drew Brees from the scrap heap. The Super Chargers will be a handful for any team they play in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'd say John Fox. Went from 1-7 to 6-7 with half the team injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I do believe the Irish names will have their day in the sun in the not-so-far-off future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Marty doesn't win is if the Chargers lose their last three games of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
