Wiz Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Schefter is on NFL channel on Sirius, says there would be a great demand for him with all the hc openings. Says it's not a foregone conclusion that he doesn't opt out. It is speculation, but I wish we could be so lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st pete gogolak Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If it happens, it's certainly not the end of the world. Make Jim Schwartz HC, Pepper Johnson DC and hire an experienced OC, a really good OL coach and a QB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick the Greek Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 We get to 9-7 in the first time in a decade and people hope the coach quits. Mike Mularkey did that to the Bills.. how did that work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I wouldn't be shocked if it happens. I wouldn't be either. In some ways I hope he does. If if were a year ago, I probably wouldn't have said that, because of the ralph situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fine but I don't see a team trying to steal him away Mr pegula will frack under their houses My sense is that he's far better regarded in the NFL than he is on this board.

Mike Mularkey did that to the Bills.. how did that work out? The difference is that now, the Bills job is a lot better to other coaches than it used to be. There will no longer be salary restraints on the HC or especially assistants. There is tremendous more stability. There is no longer any worry that he wouldn't be able to keep players he wanted. The facilities and travel will improve. The cupboard is far from bare, and has one of the best defenses already in place. There is a lot to like about the Buffalo job despite the QB factor.

billsfan89 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Who is clamouring for a coach who is 15-17? I understand that he was somewhat in demand a couple of years ago when he was hired by the Bills but his record with the Bills is still a work in progress.

dave mcbride Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't be either. In some ways I hope he does. If if were a year ago, I probably wouldn't have said that, because of the ralph situation. Think about it - he has 3 days to do this, he doesn't know if the GM will stick around, there's a chance that a senior citizen who has been out of the league for a few years and working in the broadcasting world will be his new boss (but who is currently denying it), and his QB just retired. (Does this sound familiar?) He knows he's regarded as a good coach (partly because of his 9-7 record), and I suspect someone will be happy to hire him. PS - he's smart enough to know that you need a QB to succeed. The Bills don't have one and there are none on the immediate horizon.

vincec Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I can't see him quitting a HC position for a 9-7 team unless the situation is totally untenable, which doesn't appear to be the case. If he does quit, I don't think it'll be the disaster that many people seem to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Some twisted world, Marrone opts out, Cowher comes in as head coach with Whaleynremaining in capacity, Schwartz, too. Cowher helps us build to an new long term coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Does this sound familiar?) He knows he's regarded as a good coach (partly because of his 9-7 record), and I suspect someone will be happy to hire him. I think that he and Whaley do not get along despite what they say. I think he would jump at any chance on any team to be the HC and have a say in personnel matters more than he does now. If anyone offers him that, he will jump at it. I doubt anyone offers him that. There is also a decent chance that Whaley tells him Hackett has to go. I was surprised by what Marrone said (more the way he said it) about the assistant coaches. If Whaley or Pegula says Hackett has to go, I bet Marrone opts out and takes him with him. I don't predict this will happen. But if either of those two things happen, I think he opts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
