simpleman Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 There is no one to replace Wannstadt. Firing him now would be a mistake. We need to, bottom line, evaluate talent and keep players positive. This defines such advice. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

mountainwampus Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How about promote Wanny to Head Coach, demote Chan to OC and find a DC who is willing to blitz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ~ Albert Einstein By this definition Gailey and WannaBe are both insane. Or we are. Watching the games, thinking improvements are being made, and expecting them to win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davspo Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 OK. Bye week is here. Defense is an absolute waste. There is no reason Wannstedt should not be fired other than finding a replacement. Is that really a good reason? (Keep an absolutely inept person because you can't find another inept person?) Given this, is it any wonder that this team has been the definition of futility over the last decade plus. Ralph, please for the love of God, sell this team to someone capable of running it. I know your ego gets in the way, but please show some mercy. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 100 % agree. Fire Chan while they are at it. Get the Special teams coach to HC, get the assistants to coordinate, and hire Fewell or Cower at years end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davspo Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The only way we get a bonafide coaching staff is with new ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davspo Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 You could only use the "that's not how I do business" excuse if you are sucessful. If you are unsucessful and say that you look like a fool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I agree something major needs to change, but who do you propose they bring in at DC that would improve the Defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 http://blogs.buffalo...aching-changes/ That's not the way Chan does "business". Interesting. Then Chan needs to be fired as well. Even if Wanny stays, Chan has a huge ego problem and no results. It's one thing to be Bellicheat and be a dousch and win; Chan is a dousch and looses. I agree something major needs to change, but who do you propose they bring in at DC that would improve the Defense? Talley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Fire Chan and Wanny and move Modkins to HC, Sanders to DC and Lee to OC. Can't be any worse than the catastrophe we have already. If they fall on their face at least we'll draft high, if they don't and surprise us then that's fine too.

Billy in 4C Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The problem is Chan outsources his defense to DW and doesn't know defense (which he openly admits). If he fires DW then who is coaching the defense and what changes? He's pretty much stuck for the rest of the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Talley? That is actually one of the better answers to that question Ive received. Not sure how feasible it is for him to step right in at the DC level though. But I like that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) 100 % agree. Fire Chan while they are at it. Get the Special teams coach to HC, get the assistants to coordinate, and hire Fewell or Cower at years end. I wish people would stop saying this. Cowher has a cushy network gig where he shows up for Sundays and probably involves minimal effort during the week. And I suspect he gets paid extremely well to do it. No headaches, no draft, no offseason activity, basically no bull **** at all. What makes anyone think he would give that up to move to Buffalo !@#$ing NY into a mess of a franchise that has a career backup signed to a long term contract as the starting QB and has no clue what will happen when the current owner passes (which could be at any time)? Not going to happen, pure and simple. And please don't give me the "throw enough money at him and he will come". He would have to be completely brain damaged to come to Buffalo given his current circumstances. The main reason why Gailey is the HC now is because he would take the job. Things are worse now than when Gailey was hired, so it will be even harder (if not impossible) to get someone better than Gailey to agree to take the job. It would probably have to be some hungry OC or DC. No way someone established like a Cowher. Edited October 22, 2012 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That's a pretty good awareness of our issues by a national media source instead of the usual "LOL, Bills suck, same as it ever was." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way does this loser organization hand that over to an ex-Rooney employee, who by the way made his career by giving him the players he needed. Besides he;s been out of the game to long and would look lost out there. Kind of like the current coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How much worse would we be if we simply went to man coverage and had linebackers blitz every once and a while? Why wouldn't we fire Wanny, then completely simplify the defense? How worse could it be? Would receivers still be uncovered in man coverage?
