Max997 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Does this surprise you? I believe that's about what the Bills were paying Gailey and Jauron as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Wonder if the Bills would have paid Chip Kelly 6.5? Wouldn't hv mattered as I don't think Chip would hv come to Buffalo. He recently made comments that he went to Philly bc it's a stable situation due to Laurie. I think this was a little but if a shot at Ckeveland who was trying to hire Chip as well I wouldn't clarify the Bills as unstable but no one knows what's going to happen once Ralph is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 About $120,000 a win (or 75,000 a loss). Not bad work if you can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 $3M/year is pretty standard salary for a first-time head coach. The only exceptions are the mega-names that come from college like Spurrier, Saban, and Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I have said for a while that the salary cap should include coaches and trainers salary. It would actually create more parody. I think forcing a team like the Bills to possibly invest in say a QB coach for their 2 rookie QB's, or t Pats to pay Belichick, but that means they possibly can't afford Tommy Boy.

peterpan Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Coaches win games much more than the players do. It doesn't matter who plays for the Patsies they win every year. It doesn't matter who is on Dick LeBeuo has had on his defenses they are always top 5. I think the only real position that truly matters, is QB. Other positions can be masked with good coaching. That is why I don't get teams, like the Bills, who cheap out of coaches. And not just HC, but coordinators too. If I was an owner, I would have called up LeBeuo 10 years ago and offered to double his salary to come over and revamp our D. He would still be a DC but I'd pay him double whatever the Steelers are paying. I'd let him bring in his own staff and pay them double too. Boom - perennial top 5 Defense. LeBeou is a guy who already tried being a HC and doesn't want to be again - he is happy with just being a DC. I'd focus on guys like that. Do the same for ST and O. Find a guy who has had top 5 ST units for the last five years and offer to double his salary. Boom - top 5 ST unit.

It's odd you mention 10 years ago, because Dick Lebeau was the DC for the Buffalo Bills in 2003. And no matter who the coach is, you don't do well without talent.

Um no, If you have a high priced coach will affect the quality of FA you can buy. Not that the Bills are spenders but I would like to pay what ever we need to get/keep the best coaches and still keep/get the best players. Why make things harder?

ALF Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I wonder if Shanahan will coach next season after the mess with Wash. The Jets players went wild when the owner announced Rex would be back.

thebandit27 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 ya mean the ones we never, ever get? We hired a college coach. Tried to hire Kelly; he wasn't leaving for a small-market job.

mannc Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 We hired a college coach. Tried to hire Kelly; he wasn't leaving for a small-market job. Are you sure the Bills made a serious effort to hire Kelly? My assumption is that the Bills had some interest, but Kelly told them not to bother. I never heard what really happened. It's also possible that the Bills took themselves out of the running when they heard Kelly's asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billadelphia Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Kelly told both Buffalo and Cleveland he was staying at Oregon. Philly offered him the moon financially and full control over personnel, so he shifted gears and bolted. I think that the looming recruiting scandal at Oregon helped in his decision as well. I wonder if Buffalo made him an offer anywhere close to what Philly offered (or even made an offer at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I wonder if Buffalo made him an offer anywhere close to what Philly offered (or even made an offer at all). Probably not. Hiring smart, innovative, forward-thinking coaches is just not what this franchise does. There is no way the Bills organization would have given Kelly the support necessary to implement his system, which goes far beyond X's and O's.

He was so "forward thinking and innovative" he kept playing Vick when he had Foles on the bench. Even after Foles blew everyone away Kelly still wouldn't name him the starter until it was obvious to everyone he was the guy. He wouldn't have even made the playoffs if Vick didn't get hurt.

I wonder if Buffalo made him an offer anywhere close to what Philly offered (or even made an offer at all). It absolutely did...and since he rebuffed all nfl overtures at that point I don't believe an offer was ever made. Nobody was getting Kelly without giving him full control over personnel. With Whaley in the fold, that wasn't going to happen. Probably not. Hiring smart, innovative, forward-thinking coaches is just not what this franchise does. There is no way the Bills organization would have given Kelly the support necessary to implement his system, which goes far beyond X's and O's. Why do you think that? They gave Marrone what he wanted to implement his system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
