aristocrat Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 rex is getting 26.5 mil for 2 years of work...wow. that has to be close to the most all time per year coaching right? Â coughlin is an offensive guy. i wonder who he'd bring in for the defense? they run the base 4-3 in ny so i think we'd go back to that thank god.

KD in CA Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Â I have always thought that NFL coaching is to some extent a young man's game. I thought part of Chan Gailey's problem was just lack of stamina to put as much into each week's game plan. Â But maybe I'm wrong. Â Carroll (65) and Belichick (64) are the two current oldest and it seems to me they work at least as hard as anyone else. Â I agree 70 is pushing it, but this team could benefit from Coughlin's approach. Edited December 21, 2016 by KD in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Terry could talk shop and Pugules could pay him for that perspective ( i think there is honest value there ! ) but no to officially bringing him in . Unless a clean sweeping is happening.

8-8 Forever? Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) His track record speaks for itself. My only concern with ANY new coach is that it's been shown to take 3 years to get the personnel to run the kind of team the new coach(es) want to run. That would make 2 decades and running of no payoffs.. that is exactly what will happen. be careful what you wish for TBDers. new staff , new schemes, no practice time = 3 more years of suck. then it starts all over again after you all want Coughlin's head ; I can see it now: " the games passed him by.. etc etc etc.."

If your point is that he won two Superbowls with a great QB and elite defense I agree that he has shown he can do that.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 1. Chase Daniel is better than Taylor?....2. and why Reich......What kind of offense does he run and has he had any success in the NFL as an OC? 1. No. I pretty clearly stated that this was if we were definitely moving on from Rex and Tyrod. For the record, I don't think anything available is better than Tyrod. The reason I suggest both is that Chase has been in Reich's system for the past year so he could come in with a bit of an understanding of the playbook. Â 2. He has ties to the area like Coughlin, he's the OC in Philly, where he's accomplishing reasonable production from a rookie QB who go thrown into the fire. I also believe that he is a good person to have around for QB development due to his history at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Oh, I can see the discipline thing. I think that approach can work as shown by Belichick, Parcells, and Coughlin. Â I just worry that modern players don't always respond well to that and the hard edge can backfire. Age is a concern as well. Â I am frustrated because I wish our owners were more focused on finding a QB than changing coaches every 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Maybe they bring Coughlin in and tell him to bring in a coordinator and groom him as the replacement in a few years so they keep consistency and continuity.

Nitro Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Coughlin had 3 underwhelming years before being let go. His replacement has them in the playoffs. If you want to replace Rex, don't go with a relic. Heck, why not trot out Chower or Grunden as candidates. (sarcasm alert) The Bills need to go young in the coaching search. No more retreads.

Campy Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 i would be so pissed if this happens. he's too old, i am sorry, he will be retired in a few years and we are back at square one. I want one more year for Rex to prove himself(I think 2 years is ridiculously short), if after year 3 we are no better off(which I honestly think we are right now) then we cut bait.

hondo in seattle Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 read the article. He's the antirex  I don't like that approach. We don't want a guy who's unlike our current coach. We don't want to a offensive or defensive minded coach. We don't want a coach with prior Buffalo connections. We don't want a coach with a blue-collar sensibility who can understand Buffalonians.  We want a coach who will win.  It's the only thing that matters and Coughlin didn't do enough of it.  So, yeah, I read the article and still don't get the logic of hiring Coughlin.

jahnyc Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Seems if you want long-term continuity this is not the way to go. I like Coughlin, but I would expect him to coach for only a few years. If you had a team that was really close to being a Super Bowl contender, maybe this would make sense, but that is not the case with this team. We still have holes and need some rebuilding, particularly with all of the free agents that we have this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
