RVA-BillsBacker Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I agree - I think Schwartz will only stay if the pick is someone like Shanny - he lets the DC run their own ship which would mean no change in scheme. He also has a track record for developing a running game and until RGIII power played him with the goof Snyder did a good job maximizing his strengths which are similar to EJs Didnt he draft Cutler? If I remember that was part of the issue between mcDaniels and Cutler was that he was Shanny's guy - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloPride Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I don't know how I'd feel about this. I still want the Bills to acquire Cousins. With Shanny on board maybe he could make it happen and develop him into a good quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Shanahan would probably be best case scenario. Keep Schwartz and defense in tact. Bring Shanahan aboard and you gotta think he'd fix offense. Cutler or Bradford more likely if Shanahan is here. Just as important as finding head coach or maybe moreso is how we're gonna improve QB situation. Bradford and Cutler, with their horrible contracts, are basically free agents. Gotta think at least one of those guys would prefer playing for Shanahan over their current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I think, and hope, this one falls into the Pegulas interviewing as many candidates as they can and learning what top minds in the league feel about their players. Hopefully they go into these meetings with open minds and just listen. If Shanny blows them away they consider everything, including what we all know about his past successes and failures.

HOUSE Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Shanahan's a good choice, but i still think EJ's career is savlagable in a system that limits the need to hit receivers coming out of their break - and Shanahan's timed passing game would demand that. now on the positive side, the man knows how to install the zone blocking running game that i covet for the Bills. so there's that.. and his seasons in DC have shown him and the rest of the league that the read option should only be taken in doses - but he did have it working for awhile - and that's pretty good for an older coach... shows he keeps his head in the game.. if he were willing to teach our strong armed QBand gifted receivers how to exploit defenses by going north and south, and limit the need to throw precision passes, yeah - i'd like that. the only other concern would be how any HC signing impacts our D and our DC. those guys are close to being elite, and i'd bring in a HS coach with a good head on his shoulders to coordinate our O, before doing anything to upset that side of the ball. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 The idea here is to hire a proven successful head coach. Some of you are worried about him wanting full control. After the last few days he sounds like a blessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 LOL, a 2 time Superbowl winning coach criticized by Buffalo fans who will probably end up with some bright young assistant is very entertaining John Elway is not on the roster. Any coach we bring in is set up to fail right now. Who care how many super bowls they have. In fact I would say thats a negative. The fact that he has rings makes it a lot easier to give up. i.e Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Gibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I wonder if they might contact him more for a FO role. Interesting thought, and an idea I would support. No thanks to Wanny for HC. I'd rather have one of the young, innovative offensive minds (Bevell/Gase). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I don't hate the idea, as long as he doesn't bring his kid along. He knows offensive football and his experience in Washington may have knocked some of the arrogance out of him. The fact that he could not coexist with Snyder and RGIII is not necessarily a strike against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Now you know why we finish 6-10 almost every year Shanahan would have this team 1-15. This guys doesn't look like a respected coach anymore. I think his views are outdated and that is why he doesn't work in the NFL anymore.

RVA-BillsBacker Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Not only that - but he would be motivated by that arrogance to not let the disaster in WAS be his legacy .... The more I think about this the more I like itq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I imagine they're going to contact and interview just about every potential candidate out there. Now... If you believe the rumors about Whaley not listening to his HC, how do you think that plays out with Shan-I-want-my-Han-in-everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVA-BillsBacker Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 According to WGR yesterday (joe B I think) the coach will report directy to Pegula, not Whaley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pneumonic Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Shanny is a great hire if he is given a team that is allowed to cheat the salary cap in order to win. Otherwise, he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
