patfitz Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Back in the good old days before Ralph was on life support and was both financially and emotionally invested in the team's affairs he would not hesitate to can a coach even in the early part of the season. Inevitably he would call on his old pal, director of Player Personnel, Harvey Johnson to assume the reigns and the Bills might even somehow manage to win a game with sad sack Harvey at the helm. I kind of miss those days, sad to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJ might've at least paid respect to Bills fans by chewing out the high paid/low performing players on the sidelines. Even if HJ wasn't coaching material, as a pesonnel director, he got better players with less resources than Nix and Co. have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm not too big of a Chan fan, but he is surely capable of producing more wins than Harvey friggin' Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but given CG is a "seasoned" coach, and HJ was a front office guy, and he only needs 3 wins to match HJ, it ain't saying much. However, HJ knew how to find players better than Gailey (Thigpen, really) or the current staff of "experts". He found many of the key players in the 60's championship teams, and was competing directly with the NFL for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I think they got the #1 pick in the draft both times. Probably OJ and Walt Patulski! Harvey never wanted to even coach those teams.
