todd Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You'll need to be careful with those facts. Bills fans don't deal well with things that a) Don't happen immediately or b) Allow them to see things in any other colors than back & white. While McKelvin had an off year he led the league last year. Hardly a punt catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Maybe the Bills will hire him, since Pettine is guaranteed to get a HC job next season, according to experts. DC on a losing team at 6-10, and 28 th ranked run defense do not get head coaching jobs. What experts? I hope you were kidding. I like Pettine, but don't see him leaving until we get hot. We go to the playoffs for two years and rank in the top 5 in defense, and we'll lose him. Not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some here think he's getting a HC job very soon. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/164748-pettine-speculation/ Edited January 5, 2014 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) When I said not a good year to hire college coach, it was in reference to potential success. The Jim Caldwells of the NFL will be the safe hires for teams close to turning a team around like Detroit. Bill O'Brien will have his work cut out for him. No QB, dinged up RB, below average Offensive line, average DBs. He has good WR and TE along with a solid front 7 on Defense. I think Lovie Smith will be successful with Tedford as OC and Frazier as DC. Edited January 6, 2014 by Nitro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I miss the days of having Wade coach and having punt catchers. Wait......we still have a punt catcher...... Wade was our coach but not the coach who coined "puntcatcher." That was Greggo I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 One thing i never really understood was how Wade lost his job by having a winning team . It would be nice to know what really happened that year ... marty schottenheimer for head coach. wade coach the defense. That would be one bad ass coaching team !!

Utah John Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yes, the Bills let Wade go. They also let Bill Polian go. Also John Butler. I think Ralph went a little crazy in the early 90s and was bent on demonstrating his authority. Later on his flunky beancounter (Jeff Littman) took control, and the sinking ship was doomed.

Just like everyone wants Marrone to fire the ST coach, Ralph wanted Phillips to fire his ST coach...his buddy Ronnie Jones...who was a horrible coach. Wade said no, Ralph said bye.

SF Bills Fan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I liked Wade. He was our last successful coach. If there was no forward lateral in Tennessee who knows what could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
