MarkAF43 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 i am not taking "solace" in anything. How does "solace" pertain to seeing positive things about the hire? Or simply not looking at it as a negative just because you don't like Rex? If you read through the thread you will see several people describe what the role is responsible for. It is very clear. How would I or anyone know what kind of influence the role has on making the playoffs? It is a low level coaching role. However that didn't stop some from bashing it because since she has only been part of one playoff team in 6 years, regardless of her part in the organization, that must mean she could not be any good at this position that she has never had before. Hilarious. Yolo don't feed the trolls. People like this will find negativity in everything Rex does, instead of realizing this is a normal process in football, fire an asst coach and hire another one. The reason this is a story is because he hired a female. Obviously the poster just wants to find negativity in it instead of just seeing it for what it really is, which is a personnel move.

Hilarious. This is hilarious that you would use the "How would anyone know" argument for a QUALITY CONTROL COACH... Only on the Internet would such a nonsensical retort be possible... Hilarious indeed the level that we have reached as an organization that we are even having this discussion. And note I am not "bashing the hire". It you said yourself it is a "low level coaching role", I view it as benign. I am just pointing out that REX does his best in the off season grabbing the headlines and once the season starts he has become a laughing stock as coach. That is my point and it isn't a point derived from his one year of coaching the Bills. Enjoy the Off Season. Yolo don't feed the trolls.

What am I missing here? What has Rex Ryan done in his time with the Bills to instill so much confidence in you? Are you the type that simply can hit reset year after year as if the prior 16 years didn't happen? If so can you share your secret for doing so as I am extremely jealous and feel that is exactly the way I would want to be as a Bills fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 And I am sorry to see that things have gotten so bad that you have to take solace in the fact that the Bills hired a woman Special Teams quality control coach. What does that even mean? Why is a Special Teams quality control coach even do? Do you think that her hire will get us to the playoffs next year?

sodbuster Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Not sure how much screen time a Special Teams Quality Control Coach will get. Quality Control coaches usually just write reports and work with the scout team. I'm not even sure we will have a scout team for special teams.At least as much screen time as a seventh round pick who is barely good enough to play in the CFL.

MarkAF43 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) This is why Rex Ryan is Bill Belichick/Vince Lombardi of the OFF SEASON. He makes headlines during Championship weekend and regained the female fans and the uber politically correct amongst us who grew to despise him after his destruction of our defense this past off season. Guy is a hall of fame coach if he didn't have to field a team to actually play games. Rah Rah Rah.. Sis Boom Bah. Go Bills!!! The fact that we are even talking about this benign hire proves my point. REX OWNS THE OFF-SEASON!!! And I am sorry to see that things have gotten so bad that you have to take solace in the fact that the Bills hired a woman Special Teams quality control coach.

Look at your responses, you're the one blowing this up like this is some creative move by Rex to "win the offseason". This whole thing can be broken down into 2 parts. The Bills fired the previous coach, and replaced him with a female (part 2). That's it. This isn't some attempt to win the offseason. it's being discussed because it's a historical moment in the NFL that our team is involved in.

Mr. WEO Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) when a man coaches a woman's team....no one blinks. should be the same reaction when a woman coaches a men's team. she is taking the same path to coaching that hundreds of men have taken before her. she has paid her dues. congrats and good luck to her. This is a negative referendum on Rex Ryan that he hired a female coach with 14 years of NFL experience to be a QC coach? As this thread gets longer, her so does her resume, apparently. I wouldn't say that she is following the same path as hundreds before her. Even the guy she replaced played football all his life and was a 5th round pick who made it briefly to 4 NFL rosters. Her "14 years of NFL experience" includes 4 as a special events/scouting intern. 7 as an assistant in the Jets personnel department and a few as a HC's secretary. I see nothing wrong with this hire--after all, she will be assisting Crossman and HIS assistant. If they want to call that a coach, then fine. No need to get carried away.

Fan in Chicago Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I am all for this hire but as much improvement as the STs need, Ryan is in more dire need of QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxy312 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 End of the day folks, this woman has been working for the Jets for 12 years and worked under Ryan there for 6. He knows what he's getting from her and quite frankly the special teams last season was anything but special. I'm not sure you can say that it's going to be meaningful in the W/L column, but at least the Bills front office isn't stuck in some misogynistic stone age where only men can coach men. It's ridiculous to say the least. This isn't a headline grab or an attempt to get attention. Rex worked with her before, knows what she brings to the table and put her in a position where the team needed help. If this were a guy, we would be saying "look...Rex hired Bob Smith, who he worked with previously with the Jets for 6 years and he's getting a little bit of a promotion." It would be no big deal. Good move on the equality front, but otherwise wouldn't be news worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
