LeGOATski Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Nooooooooo!!! I'd put Marrone under the "Something to Prove" category. He was just a HC last year and is now an OL coach/assistant HC He built his case while in the NFL and Syracuse. Then destroyed his case with the Bills.

If the best case scenario happens and he is able to turn this offense around with a purely defensive minded head coach and no real QB to speak of, he'll be gone. Of course that's not a reason to pass on a good coach, but we'll be back to the drawing board if he gets a head coaching job next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've wondered if having Chris Palmer around is potentially a plan for him to take over to have continuity with the offense if Roman were to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 if the Bills make the playoffs and have the best running game in the league then Roman might jump to the top of that list. this job is like a "prove it" job where if he can show he can take a team and turn around their offense then he will be a highly sought after coach. he had HC interviews last year but they probably wanted to see him do it on another team first to prove that it wasn't Harbaugh's influence that did the trick in SF.

Acantha Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 •Not surprisingly, the Seahawks lead the league in potential head coaches according to our poll, with three (Darrel Bevell, Tom Cable and Kris Richard). The Chargers, Patriots, Bears, Colts and Lions each boast two on the list. Ummm....and the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've wondered if having Chris Palmer around is potentially a plan for him to take over to have continuity with the offense if Roman were to leavei recall reading the succession plan is Aaron Kromer. He was hired in part for OL coach because of his OC experience should Roman get a HC position down the line and could continue the same system.

NoSaint Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Roman is kind of a lose-lose. If he's great, we lose him. If he's bad, we keep him. The only great coordinator you keep is your head coach.

Let's wait and see how the O actually does under Roman, shall we? I can remember the same worry being expressed about Wannstache (*wwwaaahhh wwwaaahhhh wwwaaaahhhh*). And lo, we know the result of that worry. Then about Pettine. And lo, we know that while the D was improved under him, it was even better under Schwartz, who for some reason no one wants for HC at all. Wait and see.

Acantha Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) The good news is? - We now have a deep pocket owner - There is no cap on how much you can pay coaches You aren't likely to keep a coordinator that is being offered a HC job, no matter the money. It happens, but it's pretty rare. The money will be helpful bringing in new talent, but just like the draft bringing in a new OC is a crap shoot.

At this point I have to think there's a valid reason he hasn't gotten that HC gig he seems to want pretty badly (judging by the interviews he has done). Or maybe it's just been bad luck and now owners are gun shy. That happens. And sometimes guys are just much better coordinators or position coaches than stepping up a level. I don't know what's up, but I'd love to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 The nicest part about the BILLS having potential HC candidates on their staff is that there are potential HC candidates on the staff. That means the new ownership is doing something that Ralph was the worst at: spending money on coaching talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means the new ownership is doing something that Ralph was the worst at: spending money on coaching talent. Based on that list, nearly every team has a "potential HC" on the staff. Lynn is not a potential HC. I can't see that ever happening for a guy who has been around for 15 years and is still a RB coach. He's only here (anywhere?) because Rex is a loyal guy and brought nearly his whole Jets staff with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Bills lose a coordinator to a HC job somewhere, they will be in the mix, at worse, to get the next coordinator that'll be in the mix for HC openings.
