The Bills job Is NOT attractive at all. With its current roster and all it's questions to answer, the Bills job will be a hard pressed one.

 

The 2017 schedule has them not only playing the Pats twice and Miami twice, but.....

Oakland

Denver

Kansas City

San Diego

Carolina

Atlanta

New Orleans

Tampa Bay

 

Bills could go 2-14 and could be 18 YEARS

 

Doomed!

 

Meh - I ain't scared. We're due for a bounce to go our way against KC. Oakland or Denver or both could be in buffalo - that's a tough road trip as we saw. The NFC South isn't super impressive defensively, but all those QBs are solid so its always a crapshoot there.

 

The way i look at it all of those teams are good - in theory. In actuality, a few of them will fade and end up with losing records. Following previous bills logic, we will win against the teams with losing records.

I am sure that the bills are a much better option for him then the jags

 

I will however take their former HC Gus to be our DC

No there not

 

The Bills front office is described as "toxic" a "dumpster fire." The Jags had a coach win 14 games in 4 years but the owner gave him 4 years. Buffalo has had 7 coaches this century's!

 

TC will want complete control and the Pegula's have faith in their GM. Not gonna happen hear.

That's funny. Most pundits Ive heard say the Bills have the most talent and are most ready to win out of all the openings. Our only competition comes from LA being a nice place to live. But if a new coach wants to win right away, come to Buffalo.

Sadly, you are correct.

If you want to come to a place where you get fired after less than two years even though you were the Bills most successful coach in 17 years notwithstanding depth of injuries and a bottom half QB and where the GM undermined the prior HC with ownership and leaks, the Bills job is a great job.

Embarrassing if Coughlin chooses the Jags over the Bills. Of course, this is not surprising given how any candidates are likely to view the Bills job given all that has happened with DW etc. - even with a guy as Coughlin who has been desperate to become an NFL coach again.

He started there, his family is there, he and his wife's home is there, and they were poorly coached, but have a LT of raw talent on that team. Besides he's 70 and probably a three year stint while he grooms one of his assistants carrying out similar philosophies. He could always stay on as a part time consultant, thereafter.

The guy is desperate for a HC job and supposedly was one of the guys that Doug Whaley has been promoting to ownership. He also has had informal meetings with ownership.

 

Yes, I do think it is embarrassing. If the Bills job is not better than the Jags job and we supposedly have 11-5 talent (according to Doug Whaley's whispers), I am sickened to think that is where we stand. If our job is not better than the Jags, is the job better than ANY other HC job in the NFL.

The Bills will not hire a big name coach. Any "big" name coach will want partial or more likely total control of the roster. Power that the Bills, with Whaley currently holding that power, and also coincidently running the search will never cede. Whaley will find someone that he can control, hence, it will be a first time head coach. Forget Coughlin. Think more along the lines of Lynn or Kyle Shanahan.

That is true. We will get someone who is desperate for a HC job and has no other options (unless overpay immensely and/or things change with FO).

Exactly. Why would a respected coach like Coughlin want to work for/with someone like Whaley who consistently throws his coaches under the bus ?

 

As for the hate on Marrone.....say what you want about the man but who among us wouldn't take $4 million to not work with a guy you dislike (Whaley)? Marrone saw the toxic culture that Brandon/Whaley perpetuate and opted out. In hindsight, he was correct.

That team has tons of talent. It's baffling to me that they're as bad as they are.

What is not surprising? That he's intrviewing w/Jags? Have the Bills requested an interview w/him, etc., that he's turned down? Do the Bills want Coughlin?
