Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Is it possible that Whaley and , or Brandon want out, and is helping the Pegula's find their peplacements?It's possible neither guy is even a member of the Bills anymore and signed a non-disclosure agreement similar to Pat Lafontaine.

Maguire's Beer Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm not crazy about Mike Shanahan as HC, for the reasons already stated by so many on this thread. As for Kyle - he did work some magic with RGIII in DC, and did a reasonable job in Cleveland this year. But even if I loved both the Shanahii, I'd be against this idea. Why would anyone EVER hire a father and son team as GM/HC or HC/Coordinator? Why would you put yourself in a position where you have one decision-maker who will not fire his subordinate under any circumstances? You wouldn't, and you shouldn't. It's a terrible position in which to put your organization. If you want a Shanahan, hire Kyle - but don't put Mike in a position where to get rid of Kyle, you have to blow up the whole team.

HOUSE Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 can someone please explain why we need a football czar? What does it even mean? Didn't the Holmgren situation prove the stupidity in that? Way to many cooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Any fan that thinks ruining RG3 was an idiot move, might not favor it much. And TBH he was pretty much an idiot in Denver too (winning aside, which I realize is a pretty big aside).

BillnutinHouston Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Interesting plan. What I'm not clear on is why Kubiak would step away from coaching Flacco in the playoffs, to take a lateral position coaching EJ, Tuel and ? in Buffalo. What's in it for Kubiak?

Casey D Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 No. Snyder gave the reigns to Mikey. He made all the calls - including destroying the health of RG3 and keeping that clown Haslett. That was Mike's ship that ran into the iceberg. Totally, he was a disaster and to blame everything on Snyder is just wrong. From a 2nd for an over the hill McNabb to ruining RG III, I don't get this idea. He was also mediocre for several years in Denver before being canned, he has been nothing since the century changed. No wonder Sully thinks this is a great idea. This will put the Bills back a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, a 91-69 record after Elway retired using Brian Griese and Jake Plummer as QBs.Multiple playoff appearances including a 13-3 record during the same period. People also forget so quickly that he went 11-5 and had Washington in the playoffs before RG3 got hurt. Is he flawless? No! Is he a mediocre football guy?

zonabb Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 At this point, this entire situation has spun so far out of control it's not worth even trying to make sense of it. Again, I try to think rationally and what makes little sense to me, if true, is the Pegula's dragging Doug Whaley into the interview process to interview his potential replacement. Is that a good, professional look for a billionaire who just bought a team and is trying to change the outside perception and internal culture? Just hire someone already. I'm all for being thorough but at this point without a single vacancy filled, I'd like to see them hire from all available candidates than play musical chairs and get stuck with whoever is left.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Why did RG3 get injured? Not sure what you're after. If you're implying we shouldn't hire Shanahan because it was his fault RG3 got hurt! I disagree.

voodoo poonani Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think I'd rather keep Schwartz and add Linehan. I just don't think of success with those two. If it weren't for Elway, M. Shanahan would be a nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 No Shanahans, please. Not even Mike. Take away his seasons where he's had John Elway behind center and his teams have done nothing.didnt he go to the playoffs with a rookie QB in Wash?
