Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Doug Whaley is not going to hire yet another failed Bill Belichick protege who's never shown the ability to develop an NFL QB. IMO, it's going to be Todd Haley. Whaley's a Pittsburgh guy, he got his Rothlesbuger QB in Cardale Jones last year, he has his Antonio Brown in Sammy Watkins, and his Bell in McCoy. Oh yeah, Haley is a Pittsburgh guy too! If there is no hire coming soon, then it looks like Whaley's head coach of choice is still working. Has Haley even been mentioned or on the list?

PromoTheRobot Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Doubt it. There'd be a lot of "how can we expect to make the postseason with Andrew Luck in our division?" You would doubt it. But 9-7 and 8-8 have won that division, Luck or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Never hire a coach who was just fired. This is known as the Rex Ryan rule. In doing so, you hire a coach who has not spent time evaluating what went right, what went wrong. That's important to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteCat Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Patriots hired belichek after he was fired ? Belichek coached as an assistant to Bill Parcells for 4 years after the Browns fired him. So, technically, yes the pats hired him after he was fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent talk / rumors about the new Bills Head Coach being granted additional powers + the Pegula's connection to Penn State... Hmmmm ???

Buftex Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) It's a possibility. Though, if we are to believe what we are hearing, this would be a Whaley pick, not a Peugla pick. Edited January 9, 2017 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Doubtful it's the Bills. He can work with Marrone in Jax(!), and let's be honest - Jax has a pretty solid talent foundation. LA and Denver are probably premier destinations. One would think that he and Elway are of like minds re Brock Osweiler, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it seems like a stretch.. you'd think he'd want to go more premier destinations... but I for one would love to bring in somebody like O'Brien.. compared to the situation he walked into at Penn State.. the current mess at 1BD would be a day in the park for him.

Organized and a commanding presence, I heard from one club official after his interview. Lynn’s best chance might be if Bill O’Brien stays in Houston and Buffalo ownership gives a shot to a coach universally liked and respected in the building."

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 no, not mentioned for any team OTOH, don't the Steelers respond to all "permission to interview" requests while they're in the playoffs with "Go Away. We're Busy"? Jay Glazer reporting the team could decide to part ways with him. Considering what he's done with the talent there, I would absolutely bring him in for an interview. The only way it makes sense to fire him is if he was the main reason behind the Brock signing, but I don't feel like that can be right. I think there's a point that one "lesson learned" from the Rex firing is that a fired HC needs time for ...... "lessons learned" True. More about not wanting to play the guy that the GM paid a lot to get If the GM wants to play the guy that the GM paid a lot to get, what breed is his seeing eye dog?
