Who do you WANT as the Bills coach in 2015?

[Kirby Jackson]

There have been scattered posts about this all over today. This should be an opportunity to state the person that you want on the sidelines in 2015. If you vote for other please specify the person that you want in the comments. Pease try to be realistic (ie Bill Belicheck isn't an option)

 

My vote is absolutely going to Gus Malzahn. I think that he is a better Chip Kelly. His teams play an attacking style of offense (similar to the way that Pettine plays D). I want a team that plays aggressive and with pace. He does the exact opposite of what we do now; he wins with scheme.

I voted Malzahn, although there are a few others I'd like to see considered as well, including:

 

Art Briles

Todd Bowles

Vic Fangio

Darrell Bevell

[Kirby Jackson]

Ask and you shall receive (added Reich and McDaniels too).

 

On a side note Briles would be my 2nd choice followed by Schwartz.

I want Kevin Sumlin. No question, IMO, that he is the next great NFL head coach. Offensive genius and already a great leader. I love his passion and his presence on the field. Seems to be a "player's coach" without being a softie.

 

Forget Gruden and especially forget Cowher. Both are making boat loads of money in their current television gigs, and those jobs are infinitely easier than NFL HC jobs

Harbaugh would have this team in the playoffs before you could spit. Never happen though.

Sumlin would be a good option on offense. I have concerns about the way that his team's defend but he has always been high on my list.

Kirby--he aims to please!

 

I'd probably say my order of choices would be:

 

1. Briles

2. Malzahn

3. Bowles

4. Bevell

 

And if it's anyone other than Bowles, I'd hope they kept Schwartz as DC (if he'd stay--I don't see why he wouldn't absent a HC offer).

[PearlHowardman]

It's going to be Marrone. There is no other option. Moreover, this "outside consultant" that Terry Pegula is going to hire is the stupidest thing I ever heard of. Who is this "outside consultant"? Bill Parcells? Jimmy Johnson? Marv Levy? Bruce Smith?

[PastaJoe]

I think if they dump Marrone they will offer it to Schwartz. Then the question is who do you want as offensive coordinator.

[Wayne Cubed]

I think they need to go offensive coach. That's where the biggest problem is. It's kind of like what happened in SF. There defense was great. Dominant. But the offense was horrible. Enter Harbaugh and suddenly they are going to the SB.

 

My choices would be:

 

1. Gus Malzahn

2. Art Briles

3. Darrell Bevell

[Tyrod's Tailor]

I voted for Gruden just to get him out of the MNF booth.

[Dorkington]

Hell if I know, I'm an ignorant fan.

 

So the fanboy in me wants Reich, because why the hell not.

 

As long as we keep our defensive coaching staff.

Harbaugh would have this team in the playoffs before you could spit. Never happen though.

My only concern with bringing in Harbaugh is that he seems to quickly wear out his welcome.

One name that should be on there is Tom Coughlin. I think the Giants are going to move on from him after this season. Ernie Accorsi hired Tom when he was the Giants GM and it seems that Accorsi has a connection with the Bills new owner.

 

Coughlin, head coach

Schwartz, DC

trade for Manziel

[Fixxxer]

what difference does it make? 6 months into the job, people will say stupid things about the character of that person if he doesn't hump the opposition right away. And if he starts fast they will say it won't last.

 

To much cynicism among the fanbase.

Any chance the Steelers fire Mike Tomlin???

I really think Coughlin retires if the Giants let him go.

That's part of the issue. I doubt that Schwartz stays if they hire a different head coach. With that being said this could be the 1st time that we see the difference between Ralph and Pegula. RW was not known for paying assistant coaches. If the Schwartz is the highest paid coordinator in the league (or at least 1 of them) I could see him swallowing his pride and remaining on the staff. The same could happen if Marrone stays and Schwartz is offered a head job like the Raiders. He may make the same money to remain as the Bills D coordinator for another year and have less of a chance of failure.

Agreed

[Not at the table Karlos]

I voted harbaugh but I would want to keep gym shorts but I don't see the two of them working together. Also the whole jim kelly thing
