You got 'em. Not to mention a new domed stadium in a few years and no threat to leave town. The lack of a QB is the only wart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This. QB is the hardest position to fill and most important position by far in the sport. Bills have EJ Manuel and Jeff Tuel, no first round pick and not a whole lot of options in FA. Atlanta is definitely the best place of all jobs available. A good QB on a team that is 10-22 the last two years that with a reasonable amount of tweaking in a bad division could honestly be 10-6 or better in 2015...yeah, that is the choice of coaches and I think really has been since Smith got fired.

downunderbill Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Maybe that's why there are 75 interviews. IMO that's the new owner, not having much NFL experience, wanting to interview everyone under the sun to make the right choice as opposed to coaches declining the gig.

Mickey Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 None of those quarterbacks are at all likely to lead anyone to the play offs, that is why they are available. Another complication is that the same team that was looking to replace Galey with Polian or, at the least, to have Polian look over his shoulder, is now having Galey interview the coaching candidates. Not many coaches survive after the GM who hired him gets fired. Add in the lack of a first round pick and you can see why a coach with another option might take a pass on the Bills.

217014170 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 One benefit of casting a wide net in the interview process is it allows the new ownership to tell their story. They need the word to get out that they are committed to winning and money/resources are not an issue. "...AND if ANYONE gets in your way, just let me know because you report to me." It may not get them the candidate of their choice this time but they need to take advantage of this platform to broadcast their message. You cannot say they did not try to lock up the big names to come here. People like Cowher have too much to lose, including a friendship with a billionaire if he comes to Buffalo and fails. If the rumors were true that Polian was dissuaded by bad mouthing in the inner ranks then I am sure the Pegulas will address that in good time. Personally, I think it is a good, exciting gig for all the reasons mentioned by others. Remember, any coach has to sell his family on a 3+ year commitment to Buffalo. These guys are coaches. It's their "job". Their families see it as their "job"...a cross country move is a big deal whether you are a garbage man or a football coach. I have moved cross country twice and half way once - it's stressful. Owners in small markets will always have to overpay or over-empower to entice competitive coaching and front office candidates to join their organization. I don't think money will be an issue. They need to get the right organizational structure in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't spend there, and what he did was only to get to the NHL salary floorSo you're saying the guy who overpaid for the Bills by half a billion is going get cheap all of a sudden?? As for the Sabres, let me give you a little background. The reason the Sabres cap is so low is they traded all their high-priced vets for draft picks. So now you have a team of rookies with a handful of vets. Who should they be paying millions to? They are trying to lose!! Wait until they tank this year, get either McDavid or Eichel, then start spending lavishly on free agents again...you know, like they did before the tank! Maybe you were in a coma then? Are you familiar with names like Christian Ehrhoff, Robyn Regehr, and (shudder) Ville Leino? If you aren't fully familiar with Sabres history, resist the urge to use it against Pegula and the Bills Edited January 8, 2015 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
