YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) We can't block a promotion, right?no.... if the Bills want him they better act fast though IMO. Elway will be a tough guy to turn down. Edited January 1, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 We can't block a promotion, right? But he's our head coach now. And under contract. Obviously we'll negotiate a new contract, if he's the pick. But I'm not sure he is actually free to leave if we are offering him the head coach position. I could be wrong, and the Bills probably wouldn't want someone as their head coach who would rather be somewhere else, but it's an interesting situation.

BuffaloRebound Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Hard to know what to believe. Agents clearly do a good job writing stories for reporters. Wonder if Marrone is still a hot commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Well, in a small sense the Broncos are closer too being relevant again, have a killer D. Elway is way more secure than anyone on the Bills. Plus it appears the word dysfunctional is not in the Broncos vocabulary. What Does ownership in Buffalo have to counter that? Other than Pegulas habbit of burning $$$$$$$$. And being clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a guy under contract. You give him the promotion yourself. Why would you have to make him available to interview for what would be a lateral move at that point?

jms62 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Hard to believe Kubiak packs it in a year after Super Bowl. Is Elway making the Broncos's into an undesirable spot? Question only I dont have a strong feeling about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 If Lynn has what it takes to be a successful NFL HC. Does he go to The Broncos where I think he already has 2 rings and established FO management. Or the Bills who cannot even stop FO leaks, lack players everywhere. And without a proven QB. Odds are they will regress before they get better. in the real world would any new HC wants to go where he has the best chance of coaching above .500 ball. Oh And a realistic chance at the post season. Exactly what have the Bills given Lynn that would make him stay? This FO is as bad as any in 17+ years of futility. With nothing on the horizon that seems like that would change anytime soon. At least Elway will give him the help he needs. Stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Â Rooney rule every one has to say Rooney rule - maybe , just maybe, some black coaches have the skills to succeed at being a HC . If all you can come up with is rooney rule, best to stay silent. And last season, Miami interviewed more than 1 black coach, including Lynn. Rooney rules doesn't require more than 1 minority candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The only reason you fire Rex before the season is over is so that you can move fast to hire his replacement. If Lynn is the guy you want and he is truly being considered by other teams, then you sign him yesterday. If you want to hire a coordinator from NE or some other good team, then you have to wait until their team is eliminated from the playoffs. Why fire Rex now if you can't get one of those guys until February? Such a Billsy dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex reportedly asked to be fired early rather than coach the last game, and Pegulas did. They may have waited if he didn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
