Reed83HOF Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Not sure if I can speak for Reed83, but what I got from his posts, I think he was saying the coaches are responsible for putting these players in a position to excel. Sure, Aaron Williams played DB for the Bills last season, but Pettine was the one who had him at SS from day 1. Aaron Williams is not necessarily a new player, he's a holdover who was put in a better position to excel. Leodis was in the doghouse last season, a starter this season. Same player, same position, better scheme. It's true, players play the game, coaches coach, but if a coordinator doesn't know how to maximize the strengths, or skillsets of his men, then it doesn't matter who's out there on the field. Thank you, you actually did well speaking for me It has been a very loooong day at work today (and this month) and I am a bit fried; so I am doing a cruddy job in trying to articulate my thoughts tonight...

The Browns need to **** or get off the pot. They cannot afford to keep sitting on their hands and look uncertain. The fans will only be left frustrated yet again when they have to endure another up and down prospect coach. Gotta figure its going to be Petrine or the Denver OC.

Reddy Freddy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Regardless of whether Pettine leaves this year or next, it's beginning to look like the Bills' decision to hire Marrone as the head coach and Pettine as the assistant was, well, a classic Bills decision.

Hindsight is 20/20, but man I wish Pettine was the top dog and Marrone was still, obviously, in Syracuse, obviously. There's no guarantee Pettine would've led the Bills to a better than 6-10 record, HOWEVER I'm quite sure he would've hired an experienced offensive coordinator, as well as a QB coach. Would this combination have led the Bills to a better offense and subsequently, a better record? There's absolutely no way of knowing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 well, the smart ones have avoided Cleveland like the plague … if Pettine goes, maybe just as well, there has to be something wrong with anyone that wants to walk into that mess Aren't all the ones who have withdrawn their names on teams that are likely to be good next year, and they'll have another opportunity? Pettine is on a 6-10 team, who aren't likely to anytime soon be a team where other teams are eager to raid their coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 47m Bills sources say team believes Pettine will get the Browns job based on feedback they've received. What kind of statement is that? Tim, go to bed. So, I stay away for a couple hours and the only difference is a couple of "reporters" on twitter drumming up internet traffic? This whole situation is funny. First, I like Mike Pettine and I like what he did this season but Doug Marrone and Doug Whaley were able to "convince" Mike Pettine to come to Buffalo after he was going to be relieved of his DC duties in NY. There were all sorts of threads this off season that questioned whether the defense in NY was a product of Rex or Pettine. IMO, with superior talent, Pettine still finished behind where Rex's defense finished, so that question has been answered. Doug2 is still here, they were able to get Pettine to come to Buffalo and people are convinced there is no way they could get a DC with Pettine's skills to come to Buffalo? Or find someone with similar skills? Come on. Even if you take that stance that the defense was outstanding, which I believe it was average, the DC job in Buffalo has to look pretty attractive, no?
