Fixxxer Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I want someone young and aggressive. I really don't know who that may be, though, maybe someone from Saban's staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fires Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Bring back Wade. I loved him as D/C and Coach. I think he would come back in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Lets be real, we'll probably bring over the DC from Syracuse. We already have their former HC, OC, and assistants. It's only logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It would seem to me that the Buffalo job for one of Pettine's assistants would be a much better career move than going with Pettine to Cleveland. I'm going to assume, bet on the fact that Pettine will run the whole defense. The DC job there will be like the NE one, or even Pettine when he was under Rex. It would take that guy 3-4 years of being a very good defense, and Pettine staying on as the coach, to get any serious accolades himself. If, however, the Bills were to make him their DC, he could keep the system, the players he knows, probably a few assistants, and he will get all the credit in the next 2 years if this talented defense does well. If I'm the Bills, I offer the job to ONeil, or maybe someone from the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 the Bills announced days ago they had a plan in place if Pettine leaves. that means it is highly likely that person is already on the staff. DB Coach Donnie Henderson is that guy. Henderson was with Marrone at Syracuse. think he would more inclined to stay with Marrone then follow Pettine. he has been a DC for the JETS & Lions previously.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Bring back Wade. I loved him as D/C and Coach. I think he would come back in a heartbeat. I think it would be a big mistake to change the defense yet again, just to get a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's been around, but when was the last time Henderson was a D-coordinator in the NFL? 2008? I'd have to look. He's been around the block and has been passed on/not considered for a while. What a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Promote O'Neil to DC, and Henderson to DA. Let them have a major say in hiring their own replacements. Keep the scheme the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofton80 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Spags would be an interesting candidate. Jim Schwarz had great D's in Tenn. Mike SIngletary is out there. Ed Orgeron, ex-USC HC has connections to Marrone. All agressive type coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I like the thought of Henderson but Wade Phillips has a fantastic track record as a DC. Let's not forget, Wade made John Holocek look great. Imagine what he could do with Kiko Mike, assuming that Wade is telling the truth and would return to Buffalo, would Brandon be willing to pay him twice as much as any other candidate? I get the feeling that Wade would cost that much, and btw he would be WELL worth it. I want someone young and aggressive. I really don't know who that may be, though, maybe someone from Saban's staff. Kirby Smart is the DC of the Tide. He turned down at least 1 head coaching offer in college, and is the highest paid coordinator in the NCAA. Saban just signed an extension. Would Smart take the job? Again, I am sure that he would command a very big salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I would also think that the recent events that transpired would make Buffalo a great destination spot for a young potential DC candidate after Marrone hired away a guy from a rival team and exactly one year later, coaching the Bills players, that guy gets a HC job in the NFL.
