RuntheDamnBall Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 He is not going anywhere. Don't you guys remember when we had bad ST before? This is what will happen. 1) marrone will say he will personally be more involved in ST 2) the bills will then say that they will change some scheme things 3) they will then devote more starters to ST unit 4) finally, after another year or two of this, someone in the FO will force marrone's hand and he will fire crossman. That's always how it goes with these ST coaches. If your calling card is accountability, you can't work this way. The fact that no one on this board disagrees that the guy is a hack is pretty telling. Crossman needs to go and there is not a soul in this world who doesn't know it, save for, perhaps, Marrone. Hopefully he comes to his senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the direction of the D. I think Hackett did a lot better than he was given credit for given the qb injuries. But there was nothing positive about STs except Sons of Anarchy Dan Carpenter. And that's all on Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NastyNateSoldiers Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) We need to correct some wrongs I say we #1 bring back Dehaven he is an assistant ST coach in Carolina. #2 Hire Chan to be our QB / Ast Oc coach, he said he loves the Bills I think he would come back. He can install the pistol package that Cj flourished in. I also think the pistol is pefect for Ej.

This is where Whaley comes in as the GM and helps the coach right the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Crossman needs to go, should have been fired weeks ago. If Marrone is honest about doing what it takes to win then Crossman should be fired TOMORROW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where Whaley comes in as the GM and helps the coach right the ship. QB coach? They need one. Hackett is not the answer there. For an OL coach, I'm not sure if its coaching that is the problem, or that the new offensive scheme just isn't a good for for Pears and maybe Urbik. LG NEEDS to be fixed regardless if it was scheme or coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Some of us, in looking at Crosman's less than stellar record pre-Buffalo record and the appearance of his only being hired because he was Marrone's friend, thought he was a bad hire that might cost us a game or two this year. Lo and behold, those folks were right! Let's hope the Bills realize this and correct the mistake this offseason Edited December 30, 2013 by MattM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 We need to correct some wrongs I say we #1 bring back Dehaven he is an assistant ST coach in Carolina.

Rob's House Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm willing to give Marrone the benefit of the doubt with this season & see what he's made of next season, but if Crossman is still employed next month Marrone should be sent packing ASAFP. That's not hyperbole either. If keeping Crossman is the decision he makes he either lacks the judgment to be a successful coach or he lacks the will to prioritize appropriately. Either is a deal breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 A guy built like Rob Ford was returning kicks deep into Bills territory That was embarrassing. So was Moorman's tackle attempt. That said, I would not want to tackle as crack smoking Ford with a head of steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San-O Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 He needs to be fired. If he's not, our FO is really making a mistake. Right, and this whole "accountability" crap we've been hearing from Marrone is also very suspect if he keeps his pal. IMO, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) in crossman's defense, i don't recall seeing him on the field whiffing badly trying to tackle the diminutive blount. but yes, i think the special teams have been pretty awful this year. Caveat: I have not yet looked at all-22 That said, what I think I saw is that the ST unit was playing undisciplined, getting out of their lanes or not seeming to know what their lanes were even. This has been a recurring problem throughout the year in addition to dumb-a** penalties. Both of those are on the coach. If one player whiffs another should be there. If your calling card is accountability, you can't work this way. The fact that no one on this board disagrees that the guy is a hack is pretty telling. Crossman needs to go and there is not a soul in this world who doesn't know it, save for, perhaps, Marrone. Hopefully he comes to his senses. +1. Preach it, Brother! This is a board which exemplifies the line "opinions are like !@#$s. Everyone has one, and few people want to examine someone else's in much detail". When everyone seems to have the same opinion, with the minor variation that some people don't think Marrone will actually "Cowboy up" and make (what they agree would be) the right decision, it's very telling. It's not just the ST coach. Marrone needs to take a look back and ask if he made the right choice in his OL and QB coach decisions. This is where Whaley comes in as the GM and helps the coach right the ship. Can't disagree here, either.
