Mr. WEO Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Wait...Ike Hiilard is the WR coach? Oh Ike, we hardly knew ye.. So some are speculating that the WR coach gets canned for promoting the 7th string WR (Hogan)...or something? Woods looked good, so did Goodwin. Stevie can't be coached. TJ wasn't a good receiver prior to the draft, what is Hilliard supposed to make him into? Easley is a bust's bust at WR--why should Ike pay for that bad pick?

jaybee Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 TJ Graham is just uncoachable. Don't blame Ike! It'd be interesting to see TJ's production if he were a Patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oman128 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) guess how many touchdowns our leading receiver had answer -3. Edited December 30, 2013 by oman128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Firing the WR coach. LMAO. He definitely cost us 3-4 games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ike probably taught TJ how to do his "jump catch." You mean "jump drop"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I will be extremely disappointed if Marrone keeps his buddy Crossman. It will demonstrate nothing has really changed at OBD. Special teams unit has been undisciplined and terrible the entire year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInDaDay Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Did you guys see what marrone said about this? Difference in coaching philosophies. I wonder if that means ike was too hands off. you may be onto something.. but even if that's the case, how does the HC allow his OC's staff to kickoff unprepared each week? if you see the wheels wobbling, you better find out what's wrong - didn't this staff watch film? even in the limited amount of all-22 video the radio station kid was posting, the mistakes were visible. if a dumb-ass like me can see them, how the hell doesn't Marrone and Hackett? am i to believe that when Hilliard was confronted with his unit's sloppy play, he told his OC/HC to fugg off, and remained a coach? sorry, that don't fly. Whaley better get a handle on this stuff, and admin better back him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaadThingsMan Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Bills are gonna hire Andre Reed and Mark Pike Has anyone ever heard Steve Tasker say he wanted to coach? He would be my pick for ST if I had one, I don't Bottom line is if the Bills draft a WR like Evans in the draft the next coach is a genius if he busts on the scene Edited December 30, 2013 by NorCalBillsSabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Marrone just said that Hilliard is gone at the Bills' year end Presser. Marrone would only say he made the decision based on "a difference in philosophy." http://pro32.ap.org/article/bills-fire-wr-coach-ike-hilliard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ralph 14:25 -- "Throw ye lowly serfs a sacrificial lamb and watch them rejoice." Next up: The Gatorade boy. Dude could never get drinks quick enough. Get r done, Buddy Whaley. Is he the one who taught TJ to jump on waist high passes? Utterly bizarre play -- perfect pass and wide open -- and a fitting microcosm of this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny33 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm inclined to say that Marrone should be "released from the coaching staff" for not firing Crossman first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 That's interesting ! Most of the WR spoke highly of him as a coach early on , especially having played in the league. Wonder if he got another offer or does Marrone has someone else in mind. Buffalo Bills website sez "philosophical difference" with Marrone Nothing about another offer and nothing about someone else in mind Usually don't fire a guy who is expected to get another offer in this business.

The Wiz Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I have no problem with anyone getting released playing stone-hands Graham over Easley. He was a force on special teams but was never given any playing time on the offense which showed some sort of favoritism for more speed over overall ability. I'm inclined to say that Marrone should be "released from the coaching staff" for not firing Crossman first. Rome wasn't built, or in this case sacked, in a day.

yungmack Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 This move does not instill confidence in Marrone. A staff of WRs who are rookies, projects, never_beens & a malingerer at #1,plus TWO rookie QBs & one from the practice squad, all of questionable ability and somehow the entire failure of the Bills is Hilliard's fault? Meantime Crossman is still drawing a paycheck? This will not fly with fans & will undermine Marrone with them as well. Shucking & jiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I am going to be watching who picks up Ike hilliard , if anyone. And certainly who his replacement is. It would be a fools game if Marrone and Whaley have not identified a successor and given the secret handshake . That is an important factor here . Apply that same thinking process to Crossdmen. Do you people really think Hilliard was a sacrificial lamb ? seems a bit of a stretch to me. This move does not instill confidence in Marrone. A staff of WRs who are rookies, projects, never_beens & a malingerer at #1,plus TWO rookie QBs & one from the practice squad, all of questionable ability and somehow the entire failure of the Bills is Hilliard's fault?

Marrone doesnt work for us. you know this . right?: ) I think some folks are getting ahead of themselves Edited December 31, 2013 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Might be simple. Maybe he was a critical of the OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
