Bacchus44 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Really had high hopes for him and Wanny, but after witnessing what we did this year...this had to happen. Hopefully they won't wait to try and get a good candidate in here so they're picking through the trash heap after all the other teams went out and signed their guy.

chris heff Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 “The age-old thing – and they’ve done it around here for years – is to start over about every three years,” Nix said. “What that does is make damn sure you don’t make it. ... You change every three years and you never quite get there. That’s my take.” That doesn't sound like a man with a future in the organization. Exactly, he is gone.

Matt in KC Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I really liked Chan's play design, but not the other aspects of his performance. Whether due to him, the O-Line coaching or whatever, we saw the best O-Line play we've had in over a decade and I fear a return to the recent past horrors. I'd love to have Chan as a offensive consultant. Re: the other teams looking for a coach: I sure hope we choose early in the coach draft and land the best talent.

Marv's Neighbor Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 They need to fire Dave Wannstedt next It's troubling that he wasn't a part of the "Chan's gone" story! He should have gone FIRST, or at least, at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 They should interview Chuck Modkins right now before he leaves the building for the HC job just to get the Rooney Rule out of the way, even if they want to interview Lovie Smith or any other minority candidate.

You change every three years and you never quite get there. That’s my take.” That doesn't sound like a man with a future in the organization. Wasn't this a midseason quote? I am not sure he can't just eat his words since the rest of the season went so poorly. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Its very classy! To Buffalo, perhaps. But why take a dump on Kansas City and Dallas (for example)? Do the fans of those teams deserve to take a little implied shot by Buffalo's latest failed head coach? Sorry, I don't see how that's "classy" at all.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 They should interview Chuck Modkins right now before he leaves the building for the HC job just to get the Rooney Rule out of the way, even if they want to interview Lovie Smith or any other minority candidate.

billstein22 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 As has been mentioned, I wish Chan well because he seems like a good guy, but he just wasn't getting it done. He's not quite cut out for the HC role. He actually got a lot done on offense considering how terrible Fitzpatrick is (did he complete a pass beyond 15 yards all season?), but inconsistency and the misuse of Spiller are errors that reaaaally stuck out this season.

SDS Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wasn't this a midseason quote? I am not sure he can't just eat his words since the rest of the season went so poorly. We'll see. Good question. It was included on a Buffalo News story, so I assumed it was current. If not, then it was poorly presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkKelso'sHelmet Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 all kidding aside. thanks for the effort Chan! you did your best. it's a tough game, for tough people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Ray Horton He will get some looks. I just mean they should do it in case a candidate they actually want is ready to make a decision so they don't have to wait for another guy to come in and interview. I don't mind the Rooney Rule as a general theory, it's just not handled right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I bet Lovie Smith will be the rooney rule interview for the Bills. CBF A coach of Lovie's caliber deserves a lot more consideration than a "check the box" interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Watching the video of Chan at the post game presser, he seemed almost happy and relieved. He seemed at peace as if he knew his fate but he wanted to savor the final victory. It was a completely different man then we saw int the previous 3 weeks post game pressers. It was like a great weight had been lifted off him. He repeated his line that he wanted the team to win for the fans and for themselves. A humble, self-effacing man who wasn't up to the job. Wishing Chan nothing but the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
