HelloNewman Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 In light of everyone assuming because he is already here "it is his job to lose". What if he decides to interview and take another head coach offer? This franchise is such a dumpster fire it might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 @buffalobills Anthony Lynn says the Pegulas have not told him he has the head coach job. "This is where I want to be. Here with the Buffalo Bills." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 He said unequivocally that he wants the job. Which means nothing in terms of what he actually wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine if he decides to go elswhere 3. if offered here, he is not going anywhere this where he wants to be a HC (own words) Edited January 1, 2017 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reasonable to assume that someone who has Lynn's resume will get more than one offer. Why would he choose the Bills? They are organizationally incompetent.

MAJBobby Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I want to see if he is true to his word that he wont interview elswhere until that team HAS already satisfied the Rooney Rule I mentioned this in a few other threads. It is reasonable to assume that someone who has Lynn's resume will get more than one offer. Why would he choose the Bills? They are organizationally incompetent. What resume is that 15 years as a RB coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he choose the Bills? They are organizationally incompetent. Look I know it's a very popular trend right now to bash the organization but IMHO this team already has the talent to be a playoff calibre team. The coaching of Rex Ryan was woefully inept and that has held us back the past couple of years. I have every confidence that the next HC and DC will get us there. Looks like it will be Lynn and Gus Bradley so might as welll jump onboard and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he even generates a feeling of rush to sign him, let him go We have hired the last 2 head coaches in the face of "hurry up before someone else" but in retrospect, I do not think the competition for those hirings really existed. I say this time, take your time and if there really is competition, then compete if there's someone you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Talk and posturing are pretty common. At this point it is all that is there. In business, sports, whatever. On both sides. It would be insane to not interview other candidates. Based on Lynn's 14 games as a new OC. Today's nightmare is a flier. It was meaningless. LIke Lynn corrected himself early in the week. " I was not in the room when the decision was made" He was forced to start a scrub backup. Lynn is the owner of a good scoring team despite the lack of a complete passing game. He also,called some head scratchers. Those will all magically be blamed on Rex now (see Buddy Nix for proof.) the good things are always the new guy.The bad things are always the fault of his predecessor. It's the Bills way. They suck they ended the season a very Jauron like 7-9. With all the free agents and a couple aging stars. Regression seems reasonable no matter who is coaching next year. I hope Lynn is not this off seasons Chip Kelly or Doug Marrone. The hype seems a tad over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm starting to wonder if the Lynn to Denver stuff leaked by Sexton his agent is because they are afraid of Coughlin slipping in ahead of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthymcnasty08 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I know this may trigger some, but could someone please explain why a Week 1 RB coach is now a top HC candidate.

It is reasonable to assume that someone who has Lynn's resume will get more than one offer. Why would he choose the Bills? They are organizationally incompetent. What is there in Lynn's resume that leads you to believe he will get more than one offer and be a hot commodity? He has been an RB coach for what, 14 years, including with Rex Ryan for 4 years and the Browns before that. He was a ST assistant with Denver for 3 years before that. He has never coached a different unit on the offense, and he has never coached a defensive unit. Compare and contrast with someone like Matt Patricia, who was an OLman, coached as an offensive assistant and offensive line coach, then switched to LB coach, then safeties coach, then DC, and has been DC for 4 years on a winning team. He's coached on both sides of the ball, coached in 4 different assistant roles, then been successful as a DC. He should rightly be viewed as a top HC prospect. I was kinda accused of suspecting any black guy interviewed as being a nod to the Rooney Rule, but that's no way it. I'm sure Lynn is an excellent RB coach, meticulous and detail oriented, and respected in the league, and I'm sure OC experience is hard to come by, but his experience just seems so limited and compartmentalized for him to really be a hot HC prospect. I would hope he could land an OC gig as a result of this year, and then move up from there. But on any team, taking 2 steps at once just seems like a recipe for failure.
