truth on hold Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 We already have a stellar defense, why bring in a coach (Rex Ryan) who builds great defenses (which is actually already "in hand"), but has never had a good offense? Isn't that what this team already has? They had a good offense with a halfway decent OC in schottenheimer. Tony "wildcat" Sparano was horrible and morzenzwhieg (sp?) wasn't much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills1218 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 1) Cowher Power 2) Jon Gruden 3) Reich 4) Schwartz 5) Kiko as player-coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Why not Schwartz? The defensive players seem to love playing for him. His offense in Detroit was way more aggressive than the one Marrone employed. Was Hackett handcuffed by Marrone? If Marrone gets another job will Hackett follow? I say promote Schwartz, make Pepper DC, keep Hackett and bring in Russ Grimm as offensive line/asst.HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 This is my wish list #1- Bill Cowher #2-Gus Malzahn #3-Art Briles #4-Rex Ryan #5-Frank Reich #6-Jim Schwartz I would probably put Malzahn first. Auburn would probably step up though. They just paid Muschamp a fortune to be their DC and those football factories print money so I doubt they would consider letting Malzahn go for $10M or less. I'd also put Rex above Briles and leave it at 5. i think Rex would have better luck hiring an OC if given a fresh start. He's been hamstrung hiring assistant coaches the past few years and stuck with retreads. Rex is a very good HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Dude Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I would like Rex Ryan or Bill Cowher and our situation now is so much more attractive then the last time we were looking for a coach -New very wealthy owners -Some top level talent defense -Won 9 games this past season Edited January 1, 2015 by Niagara Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Cowher. If Pegula's millions could tempt Cowher - or Tony Dungy - out of retirement, we'd suddenly be a hot destination for FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisplacedBillsFan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Posted in another thread, but....Dabo Swinney. Knows how to use CJ and Sammy. Previous WR and WRs coach. Built a good D at Clemson and knows how to win. Oh, and that whole nice guy, knows how to talk to the press, good personality thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Mike Shanahan might be of interest as an ex NFL HC with a history of winning 2 SB's. He did get the Redskins to the playoffs in his third season, and was fired in Washington after he told GM/ Owner that RG3 wasn't developing quickly enough. A power struggle ensued and RG3 won. Guess what, even new HC Jay Gruden says RG3 not good enough as a pocket QB. Gruden got another year, but he might be gone soon too. Meanwhile RG3 is 14-21. That defense under Jim Haslett has always been in the top ten worst the last five years, and that certainly didn't help. Just sayin. Bill Cowher would be my first choice.

ChanOverChin Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Keep Schwartz as the DC...for obvious reasons. Bring in Cowher as HC and N. Turner as Asst. HC/OC. Then we'll have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo poonani Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 In order of likelihood IMO 1. Schwartz 2. Reich 3. Cowher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I think Frank Reich...knee jerk reaction. No way Cowher comes out of retirement to come to Buffalo. Schwartz is a possibility, but I think the Pegulas will want a sexier hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Dude Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If you want a sexy hire then hire Ryan, he is the one coach that knows how to stop Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flmike Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Why the love for Cowher? He's been out of the trenches for ages. Let him keep reading his TV copy. Reich is a big gamble. Ryan might be good, but I can't get over the horror show the Jets were this year. A good HC doesn't let things get that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
