eball Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 “I have all-stars on my coaching staff,” Ryan said. “Fortunately, my owner has deep pockets, because we had to dish out. We’re going to get this thing done, and that’s what I’m looking forward to.” Those are words you have never heard any former Bills coach utter in the history of the franchise. Coaching is king in the NFL -- everybody has talent. Find a serviceable QB -- EJ or otherwise -- and this team is going places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Terry is also paying Marrone 4 mill to coach the jagoff OL and Schwartz 3mill this year and 3 mill next year to sit on the coach.

Green Lightning Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It's becoming increasingly difficult to remain cynical about our future. I am now moving from cynical to skeptical, and who knows what tomorrow brings? Bring on FA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 “I have all-stars on my coaching staff,” Ryan said. “Fortunately, my owner has deep pockets, because we had to dish out. We’re going to get this thing done, and that’s what I’m looking forward to.” Those are words you have never heard any former Bills coach utter in the history of the franchise. Coaching is king in the NFL -- everybody has talent. Find a serviceable QB -- EJ or otherwise -- and this team is going places. If we had a serviceable qb taking the snaps last year this team would have been in the playoffs, even with a very vulnerable OL. Terry Pegula is taking a different approach compared to the prior owner. He is investing in staff. If your staff is making big money decisons on players and then coaching them it makes a lot of sense. The historical problem for the Bills is not so much that they didn't spend enough money on players but that they didn't do it very wisely. The over-sized contracts for mediocre players such as Derick Dockery and Langston Walker are illustrations of that point As you noted in your post the biggest challenge for Whaley this offseason is finding the best veteran qb on the market and then have EJ compete for the starter's job. This is someone else's good thought but Kellen Moore intrigues me very much. Accurate passer who knows how to read defenses. He is relatively short in stature and has at best an adequate arm but he would be an interesting player to add to the qb mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They are paying Schwartz? Link? I thought they let him out of his contract thus he doesn't get paid He wasn't fired. I do think he gets paid the balance due him from his contract. However, he did walk away voluntarily... Haven't heard anything definitive. You'd think one of the news hounds in Western NY would be writing articles each week about it and the resulting ineptitude displayed by the current owner.

Because he was able to upgrade by doing so Ahhh....not so fast. It remains to be seen if this new D scheme will outperform Schwartz D.....I am thinking thats a really tall order for Ryan and company....4th in the league is really high.....they re favorites to finish lower than 4 IMHO. Now, your argument on the head coach does make some sense.....but not on the D coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (jmo) Rex always wanted to bring Thurman and it was just a pr move by the Bills to say JS could have stayed.Ahhh....not so fast.
