Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I hope Marty gets the Tampa Job because I always liked his style of play and his winning record. He has had some real tough and incredibly unlucky losses in the playoffs but he is still a great coach. Really wished that he was hired here, I don't dislike Chan I just like Marty better. "What may intrigue the Bucs is Schottenheimer’s record. With a career mark of 200-126-1 in 21 seasons with four teams, he has just 22 fewer NFL victories than the 35-year-old Bucs franchise. Schottenheimer’s most recent NFL gig, however, was in 2006, when he led the San Diego Chargers to a 14-2 mark. He was fired in February 2007 after losing to the Patriots [team stats] in the second round of the playoffs." http://news.bostonherald.com/sports/football/other_nfl/view/20120110bucs_to_interview_marty_schottenheimer_today/srvc=home&position=recent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lacks only an innovators edge, like a Bill Walsh or the young Don Shula had. Of course that little he lacks is A LOT because greats are very rare and those guys don't just survive the playoffs, they TAKE championships. Marty is as good as, if not better than Bill Cowher who practically any team would take. People forget that Cowher had the same problems in the playoffs as Marty did. Unfortunately for Marty he didn't get a break in the playoffs like Cowher did when the Steelers drew an overrated Denver team in the AFC Championship and a relative patsy in Seattle in the SB. But now Marty is as old as dirt and that will be held against him, whether it is fair or not. Edited January 11, 2012 by Dick Drawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that the officiating crew called one of the most one-sided, unfair games ever seen in an NFL contest. That game was a travesty and Pittsburgh didn't deserve to win it. The game was handed to them. I agree that Marty is an excellent coach… better than some who've won Super Bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a terribly officiated game. It was as if the officials couldn't bear seeing a Seattle team with no enduring characters/HOF'ers win a SB over the Steelers organization. Seattle had a good team, but it was a transition year in the NFL. Last years Steelers would have killed that Steelers team that beat Seattle......and they were thrashed by GB. For guys like Cowher and Marty, that is a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things you know about Marty's teams 1)They will run the football and 2)The defense will be well coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a big personality and has burned a lot of bridges somehow. His teams made the playoffs, but failed to make adjustments against the better teams in order to take him to the Super Bowl. I wouldn't want him in Buffalo because he would have had another job by now, and too many teams have passed him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Seattle team had no business being in the Super Bowl anyway, and the officiating wasn't as materially bad as all the Seahawk fans claimed it to be. I think there was the one blown PI call that took away a Seahawks TD--but the game was still 21-10, and Seattle never really had a prayer at any point. As to Schottenheimer, I agree--excellent coach. People forget that he was basically Cowher's mentor. I think Cowher was Marty's ST coach in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 He was my first choice and if hired in Tampa will hv them back in playoffs before Bills ever get back there Proven head coach that has taken three different teams to the playoffs and wanted the buffalo job but bills were not interested...that speaks volumes about the people that run this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle got the better of the play throughout the game and might have won if not for 3 big calls… all which went against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Ralph Wilson who shot it down stating he didn't feel "comfortable" in hiring Marty. Perhaps it is because Marty would probably hire his two sons to help run the team, or perhaps it was because Marty was an ex Buffalo Bills player, or perhaps Wilson actually thinks Gailey is going to not only get this team to the playoffs, but win games. From my view as just a fan I can say that Gailey has made so many different mistakes at so many levels that I find it difficult to believe he will lead any Bills team to the playoffs, even if given 10 years. Wrong personnel decisions with both assistants and players. Bad play calling to the effect that at least 3 games could have been won if not for the constant aerial attack which wasn't working so well, and abandoning the running attack which was working. Gaileys contrived short passing game has been figured out and I can't imagine going into next season with the same plan, but I bet he will.

They took away a TD... and called a personal foul for a low block on the seattle QB who was making a tackle. That set up Pitt's clinching TD.
