Georgia Bill Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Can hires be made while these guys are still alive in the playoffs or can they only be formalized after teams get eliminated? I don't know about what is legal, but the norm seems to be for no announcements on staff departures until after a team has been eliminated. I'm sure it is meant to keep distractions to a minimum. It seems this bye week period allows a window for interviews with candidates that are currently part of the teams that earned a bye.

YoloinOhio Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yep - I watched the Browns coaching search in all of it's devastating glory last year. Anyone who thinks the Bills are a "circus" didn't watch that go down. They had guy after guy refuse to even meet with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Food_Pyramid_Wrong Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Bevell HC and OC, Schwartz DC and Assistant HC. I just want to go on record as to my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 A devout Mormon. Hopefully, he won't try to move training camp to Utah The Mormon church was founded right in WNY and still has a strong presence so maybe he moves camp to Hill Camorrah.

Nick the Greek Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Bevell sounds too much like Bevis like from Bevis and Butthead.. Sounds like he'd be a good fit in Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Now if Whaley can outbid unrestricted free agent Nick Foles, we'd have a fighting chance next year as we can draft the best possible players where we have needs like OG, and TE. ?? Foles is under contract with the Eagles through 2015. And I don't think they're cutting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Bevell has done great things with the Seahawk Offense. I'd be pumped to see his plan for EJ, Sammy, et. al... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 @ProFootballTalk: Darrell Bevell, Dan Quinn, Josh McDaniels on Bills' list too http://t.co/AAxehukFi5 He seemed upset that Seattle traded Harvin because he had big plans for him. My guess is he could lay out those plans for Sammy CJ fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If Bevell can bring his run game coordinator Tom Cable along with him I wouldn't mind this hire. Cable has former HC experience and can help with the transition. Plus Cable is an oline guy and has done well with not so great talent. Could be a nice match with Schwartz.

Wayne Cubed Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If Bevell can bring his run game coordinator Tom Cable along with him I wouldn't mind this hire. Cable has former HC experience and can help with the transition. Plus Cable is an oline guy and has done well with not so great talent. Could be a nice match with Schwartz. Very good read, some takeways: -Bevell is adaptable, willing to change offense based on talent. -Run first guy -Basic route tree for WR but multiple formations to confuse defense. -doesn't ask guys to do things that don't play to their strengths. Example, doesn't ask Russell Wilson to throw over the middle very much because he's shorter and it's hard to see over the big guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You will all laugh and idc. In EJs rookie year I thought he could be a bigger version of Russell Wilson because of his playing style, approach to the game, and work ethic. If Bevell was his coach, my belief in that initial thought could be revived. Russell Wilson has always been an accurate passer with tremendous feel for the game. EJ has shown none of those qualities. Don't get too excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi1 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 IMO, he is the closest to a slam dunk candidate as there is available. He would be a perfect fit for our current situation. His credits: —Discovered and developed Russell Wilson, when no one else in the NFL was considering him. —Continued to innovate on offense after defenses started figuring out what they were doing. —Former QB, has a speciality in developing scrambling strong-armed QBs —Was the OC in Minnesota and helped Favre to his big year there, and one of the best years of Favre's career PFT reports that the Bills have requested permission to interview him. I think he makes way more sense than anyone else they're looking at. He's an offensive specialist who has shown the ability to make something out of nothing. Unlike Gase or McDaniels, he isn't leaning on a HOF quarterback. Unlike Reich, he has a proven track record of success. Bevell/Schwartz/Whaley is a power trio that I would have a lot of faith in. Sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
