Bills1218 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Eric Bieniemy is the running backs coach in KC. Obviously this whole process is a favor to Chris Berman so he can bring back his "Eric Sleeping With Bieniemy" line... //Please don't actually interview Charlie Weis.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) A few things; 1. A buddy of mine is a private pilot for jets. Even if he flies a non-company (personally owned) plane, which he does at times, to offset the costs the plane will be rented out to other people needing flights. So, even if it is a Pegula owned plane, he may use it for others flights. Just because you have tons doesn't mean you waste tons. 2. The 48' in Denver. I would assume that the interview process is very long and intensive, so that isn't enough time. At least that is what I have heard. More realistically I think they picked up Gase and did the interview on the plane Forcing Gase to deadhead home on another flight or commercial? Why would Gase agree to that waste of his time? It may have been a short interview because someone heard something they didn't like, maybe Gase was like "straighten out your FO and get back to me guys" or maybe Gase asked "what's your plan for a QB?" and responded "no thanks, I want a gig with a QB or a high draft pick to get one" For those interested... Sorry if already posted..saw this on another board...This appears to be the plane Pegula and company are using to tour the country.... Yeah yeah I know it's creepy, but kind of interesting Flight #1: Buffalo to Florida (reported that Russ And Doug went to pegulas house) Flight #2: Florida to Denver (Gase) Flight #3: Denver to Seattle (bevell & Quinn) Flight #4: Seattle to San Fran scheduled for this morning. Who's in SF? Rex? Shanny? http://flightaware.com/live/flight/XSR960/history/20150104/1630Z/KBFI/KSFO So now they stopped at Vail (that's Eagle County) before heading to Lawrence. Someone wanted to go skiing? And who's in Lawrence, or did they fly back commercial and another group took over?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 By the way, have any of you guys flown on a private jet? I have had the privilege of doing so for work three times. I could seriously live on one of those. I once took one from pennsylvania to Oregon; door to door it was about 4 hours. No lines, no waiting, just walk on the plane and go.

I love it...I am a powerball ticket away from a private jet :-)I think it would be money well spent. I mean, the pilots served us wine and cheese too! But the best part is just walking right on the plane. I clocked one of those flights, and it's easily like a 4-hour time save, if not more. I flew from Philly to pittsburgh once; and we got to the philly airport at 4, and I was sitting in my house in Pittsburgh before 5 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkreed Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Odd question:If this plane is correct, could the 1 minute stopover in Vali be picking someone up to bring to the next destination (or even back to Buffalo)?The latest route is Vali to Outside KC to Buffalo by 315. If the Bills announce a presser at 5pm, we know this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 As has been previously noted, if all the media reports are true, the Bills are interviewing something like a dozen candidates. I'm glad - though not surprised - they're doing thorough due diligence. And it seem like all the candidates are NFL guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Why are people surprised that an interview in Denver with Gase could last 45min? Bills - "So Mr Gase, what do you feel you would bring to the organisation as the teams head coach?" Gase - "Well Mr. Manning says I make the best cup of coffee he has had in years, and he clocked me at being one of the fastest coaches in the league getting him the aerial photos and tablets with game footage" Bills - "well we have heard enough...... We will have the paperwork faxed over using the Sabres office fax machine right away!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 thanks for that clarification, but the flights and landings were yesterday and today, i would think the by-week stipulation would have ended on friday we can during their first week playoff bye (if they have one), thus the rush to interview Seahawks, denver staff this weekend while they still can.

Kim and Pegs must be tired of the whirlwind traveling, so they they just booted whaley and brandon on to commercial air so that they can go home! thanks for that clarification, but the flights and landings were yesterday and today, i would think the by-week stipulation would have ended on friday I thought I read somewhere that the deadline was sunday (can't interview monday and afterwards (once the teams know who they will actually be playing and can start game planning for them). Will see if I can find the link. Also, since many of those interviews have been confirmed (seattle and denver) to have happened yesterday, the deadline must be sunday. EDIT: Correction , as I posted below deadline by rules is saturday, which explains why seatle and denver visits were saturday and san diego and san fran visits were sunday Edited January 5, 2015 by BillsBackersChicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Kelly was simply smart enough to see the train wreck Russ Brandon & Co. were/are... IF say a Roger Staubach had the time and was willing I'd like to see Mr. & Mrs. Pegula tap him to head the FO, spar Whaley for a one year probation period, teach/tutor EJ and give this talented young athlete an opportunity to sink or swim. Being handcuffed by an inept OC and a controlling HC isn't a fair opportunity to learn how to develop your game. The likes of Staubach would have EJ shining like the star he is capable of being in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsBackersChicago Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) thanks for that clarification, but the flights and landings were yesterday and today, i would think the by-week stipulation would have ended on friday Here it is: Many of the interviews involve coaches whose teams have a bye in the first round of the playoffs. NFL rules state that those coaches — on the Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks, and Packers — can interview through Saturday, and then cannot interview again until their team is eliminated from the playoffs.
