YoloinOhio Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 @viccarucci: HOF WR Andre Reed has accepted a Walsh coaching internship position w the #Bills this preseason, his agent announced. This is exciting - he is a great guy to work with our WRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Greg Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Andre Reed is an intern? Job market is worse in Buffalo than I realized. Will be cool to see him on the sidelines, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I remember when he held a similar position with the Chiefs (maybe the same program) he said that he didn't want to do it in Buffalo because he was afraid that it would morph into something where he was just "ex-Bill Andre Reed returns home" and it would distract from his goals of learning. I guess things have changed. I wonder if it has anything to do with Marrone not making the Super Bowl Bills players feeling overly welcome... or maybe he figures, "hey, maybe being Andre Reed returning to Buffalo" isn't the worst thing!

Haha, I know you're kidding, but the job market is better in Buffalo than it has been in a very long time. And good for Andre. My favorite Bill ever. It is sometimes for great players to teach lesser talented players. Hopefully, he is a natural and sticks. Personally, I'd rather be in the front office than coaching.

Rex Ryan was on Shred and Ragan this morning(local Buffalo radio talk show) and he brought this topic up and said that he ran into Andre during Super Bowl weekend and Andre expressed interest in doing this and Rex said absolutely..He also went on to say that he wants all those legendary Bills to know that they will always have a home in Buffalo and they can come by practice anytime they want. I really like how Rex is embracing our team history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo is a coaching intern's heaven. This is not just Buffalo. It is the place to be.But when Sanjay Lal was hired everyone here said he was a lousy coach.

machine gun kelly Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Andre has been my favorite Bill whom I spent a lot of time talking to him. He was our guest judge at my NSM BBQ team building contest. The crew told him what Bills fanatic I am so he spent 20 minutes with me talking about the Bills. I was in Beverly Hills so we called my two sons back in FL, and Andre spent 5 minutes talking football with my boys. He's a genuinely nice guy. I love that Rex embraces our history but doesn't surprise me. It seems like we have a really well experienced and previously successful coaching staff going back 20 years.

hondo in seattle Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't know how impactful Andre is as a position coach.

Nick the Greek Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I like the move, but the title of intern seems a bit offensive to me.

billsfan_34 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Or, perhaps Andre feels he learned the ropes about coaching while with the Chiefs and he's more confident in the role now. Then why another internship? Normally you do just one to launch your career. Have you ever heard him talk? The dude isnt very bright. And im not trying to bash him its just how it is.

cfbillsfan Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I can't even tell you all how much i love this! It does make me wonder why he was not able to parlay the chiefs internship into a full time gig. Regardless i like it! Reed was my favorite player during the glory days.

enlightener Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I wonder which he will teach first... -how to play injured in a contract year when your not ready -how to fumble multiple times in a game -how to fumble multiple times in a game (playoff version) -how to throw your helmet and get penalized when mad -how to bump a ref and get ejected when mad coaching and playing are too very different things, that said I never liked Reed as I started watching the bills in the SB years all I ever saw was a lot of fumbling, a playoff game he came back too soon vs Pittsburg and helped the Bills to a loss, and also being a huge baby, especially at the end of his career as the team tried to help him reach a few milestones. He wanted to be the go to guy in year 14 even when we had Price Moulds and kevin williams. Edited May 26, 2015 by enlightener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
