MyDogLuvsPB Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 He seemed to do well with the zBills personnel and has worked under Ryan so....why not??? Something needs to be done. I'd rather have Schwartz back but I know this isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 He seemed to do well with the zBills personnel and has worked under Ryan so....why not??? Something needs to be done. Do you realize that this is Ryan's defense and he is the coordinator? Thurman is just an assistant like the LB coach. DL coach, DB coach......

BuffaloWings Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 One last time... This won't happen. Rex runs the defense - he's the DC, despite what the coaching staff titles say. Thurman is just a place-holder. Pettine left the Jets because he didn't want to be under Rex's system anymore. He won't come back to that. Can we close this and every other "Hire Pettine" thread now?

With all of these HC openings, I guarantee you that Pettine will get a job as a DC where he can install and run his own defense w/o being in the shadow of Rex.

Mr. WEO Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Why do so many here always want to go backward and never forward? Stay out of the day old bread bin for once.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of him leaving the Jets was to get out from Rex's shadow and prove he could be successful on his own. There is absolutely no way he comes back to go back under Rex's shadow - it is exactly the opposite of what his professional and personal goals were. People who suggest him coming back simply don't understand the circumstances that led him to leaving Rex in the first place.

Jobu Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think it is high time for a banned word list. If your thread starter contains any of the banned words, the thread does not get started. I'll start: "Pettine" "Pepper" "Schwartz" "Marrone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The only way this makes any sense at all is if Rex decided to keep his nose out of the defense and be just a HC. Anyone who thinks Rex is even capable of that hasn't been watching. One day into the off season and here we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It's more likely he comes back then Schwartz or Peppers. I doubt he gets a HC gig and there's no guarAntee he gets a DC gig too. I could see him agreeing to come back to work with Rex IF it's his best offer as it could allow him to show his stuff again as a DC to get consideration for another HC gig, he won't get one without going back to being a DC. I would put my money on Thurman staying, if on the small chance Rex let's him go, I would put my money on Rob coming in as the next DC first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 @viccarucci Hearing shakeups are expected on #Bills coaching staff, but DC Dennis Thurman apparently won't be one of them. bit.ly/1ZLWUgU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Greg Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Everyone assumes Thurman is just a figurehead and Rex calls the D, but has this ever actually been confirmed? I know it's Rex's scheme, but Thurman must at least be running the day to day management and possible that he calls the shots on game day. I think people underestimate the DC role, even with a coach who has a heavy emphasis on that side of the call. It would not surprise me at all to learn that Rex has delegated this to Thurman. In that case, getting Pettine back could make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
