Mr. WEO Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 This is the best the Pegulas could come up with--reaching all the way over to the Jets to rescue Rex Ryan? And he may bring in fellow dumpster denizen Trestman? Why jump on Rex now--why be the first to hire a HC? Wow. How long did it take Whaley to come up with this? How does this immediately make us better? I've been on a small bandwagon for Kubiak. He's now available--and not even an interview? Uninspired first major move by Kim Pegula.....

Wayne Cubed Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 @viccarucci: The #Bills have "every intention" of keeping DC Jim Schwartz, just told by high-ranking team source. @viccarucci: Told despite different def philosophy, Ryan would be OK w keeping Schwartz as DC bc he "wants to win." Who's running D "doesn't matter." Stayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I could NOT be happier with this hire. Now if some feel good guy like Reich would have come here, ugh...brutal. Ryan is arguably the best defensive mind in the game, who gives a crap about DC. Schwartz might even stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I like the move. Sounds like Ryan will bring in a solid OC and keep Schwartz as the DC. The defense will continue to be good for years to come and the Bills will have a better OC. Ryan has had success against the Patriots, so that will be a big plus for the Bills.

Jerry Jabber Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Looks like it will be Greg Roman as the OC: "The popular rumor floating around the NFL was that Ryan would bring Marc Trestman with him as his offensive coordinator. It appears that is not the case, according to Schefter, as Greg Roman, the 49ers OC, will be coming along with Rex. "The offensive coordinator Rex Ryan is most likely to bring with him to Buffalo is 49ers OC Greg Roman, per source." http://buf.scout.com/story/1500984-bills-to-make-rex-ryan-their-next-head-coach?s=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm wary of the Ryan persona, I hope he learned a lesson or two about leading men and that what he says in a podium could have a negative impact on the team, like inflating a player's ego to the point of giving him a catchy nickname and a reason to ask for more money. I don't like that he doesn't think before he speaks giving unintended press fodder to the other team.His teams were a B word to play against when he had talent, I hated the way he ran all over Chan's defenses and how he smack his offenses in the face. It was less traumatic to face his team the last couple of years and for the most part I thought his teams were not well prepared when they faced us.Overall I think he's a good coach but he's lousy getting out of bad situations, like making a good coordinator the scapegoat because he couldn't win with a creation of his, the Sanchize. Brian Schottenheimer was a good playcaller that could not perform miracles and everything went haywire when the big fatties on that big OL started to go down.I don't know if Tebow was his decision but with the way he talked about him you would think he was the best thing to happen to the Jets.Going from Schottenheimer to Sparano and then Morhinweg is regressing when choosing people to work with. Lets hope Roman is a sure thing and not just a Ryan's desire.It will difficult to keep Schwartz, I don't know what Ryan's plans will be but I hope he tries to retain him.I would have preferred an offensive minded coach and kept the defense intact with Schwartz, I was hoping we would interview Kubiak for the HC job. We will see what happens, we could have done a lot worse than Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not sure about this, but it's too early to comment fully. Ryan has historically struggled with mediocre QB play; that's just what we have. He is a defensive specialist almost to the neglect of offense; our strength is our defense, the offense is the side that needs help. Lastly, those Trestman rumors are now dated and apparently false. It looks like Rex wants to bring in Roman from San Fran. They are ready to hang that guy from a tree out there and he is heavily criticized for having a college football IQ that thinks in college football terms. The critics say he is not ready for prime time in the NFL. Sound familiar to any other offensive coordinators you can think of? Not sure about this. PS: It is sounding like Schwartz will stay as DC, so that part is good. PPS: Don't assume we go to a 3-4 just b/c Rex is in town. It's not that simple. I hope we stay 4-3.

ALF Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Mehta also added that Ryan wants to bring most of his defensive staff into Buffalo with him.

I think if you are going to be the first to hire a new HC in a hot market, is Rex Ryan the guy you want? Kubiak called a great game all year for Balt, including some real genius yesterday. That would be a "less inspired" choice than ol Rex Ryan? Come on Nucci--say something meaningful--answer the questions I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I think this is going to be more of an Ryan being the manager of the coaches. Schwartz left to run the D, an OC left to run the offense, positional coaches to run the positions. I see this as Ryan running the team while other coaches run their units. The more I look at the way this is happening I like it. Schwartz will enjoy working with Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Anything short of resurrecting Vince Lombardi and making him our coach and people are going to B word, and even then, there would be detractors. I am glad to see that the Pegulas are willing to go out and pay top dollar for coaches who are highly respected in the NFL. There is a negative to any available candidate but this is a pretty bold statement. I believe this will help the Bills attract free agents.

Malazan Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hopefully Rex will be the Man.......but I am finding it difficult to get past my feelings that a top Offensive minded HC could have given us a chance at the SB within 3 years. Go Bills! It's all about the coordinators. Rex's big failing was he wasn't the head coach in NY, he was the defensive coordinator. I get the feeling they keep Schwartz and bring in a Roman/Trestman. If its Roman and he gets the Bills offense to the middle of the pack...he ends up being the top candidate next season. Schwartz has a top 5 defense again and he will start getting interviewed for coaching jobs again. Then Ryan can bring in Thurman to replace Schwartz.
