Leroi Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm a little surprised Kathryn Smith wasn't retained considering she was Crossman's assistant and Crossman is still here. Maybe she didn't perform well. Isn't is obvious? She wasn't qualified for the position. She was hired for the feel good story. Now that we have a new president, these small female feats just don't matter anymore. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Looks like the Strength & Conditioning guys along with Danny Crossman are the only ones to survive the post Rex era. Should save tons by not having the largest coaching staff in the league. No wonder no one had any idea what was going on. You do not save money if they were on contract. If their contracts are not renewed that is a different issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) good riddance to Lee, Palmer, and Thurman You do not save money if they were on contract. If their contracts are not renewed that is a different issue. Are the Bills still paying anyone from the Marrone days? We change so often it's possible we have coaches on the books from a few coaches ago... Meanwhile... "Bill Belichick said it took him 4 yrs to get his system in place. 11 other teams have had their coach in place that long. No wonder NFL had a down year."(Link) Edited January 31, 2017 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 i wondered that as well, but she was one of Rex's folks that he brought from the Jets so maybe they wanted to just get rid of all of those people. It does look like everyone from Rex's staff was dumped, baby with bath water. Maybe that was source of some of the false leaks but most were probably in locker room attendants and sanitation; an anonymous source told me La Conjecture's source was a towel boy.

LabattBlue Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Does this mean McDermott doesn't agree that the team needs 27 coaches? Someone needed to step in and tell Rex enough was enough.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The Most overrated coach. Our receivers constantly and consistently dropped easy passes, especially Samantha, when he was actually playing and not injured. Imo I dunno about "most overrated", but watching the performance of WR in the playoffs vs our guys: I did not see the same fight to get both feet down in bounds, the same diving and jumping for passes, or the same fight to make that extra yard and get the first down.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm a little surprised Kathryn Smith wasn't retained considering she was Crossman's assistant and Crossman is still here. Maybe she didn't perform well. Crossman and the ST unit did perform better in 2014 than the two years under Rex. Maybe Rex meddled in ST (choice of assistants etc) and Crossman would prefer working with other folks. Right IDK if thats on coaching or the talent of our WR talent but it wasnt good. IMO there's a large element of talent in getting off the line/getting open/getting position on the DB. But when a guy just doesn't seem to try to dive or try to jump, or when he catches the ball and could run and doesn't put his shoulder down and keep his legs churning, or doesn't stretch his toes back and down, I think that's coaching. It's guys who habitually don't do that in practice and aren't having it dinned into them "finish the play, that's your job, do your job". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you point this out, but our WRs not fighting for balls/yards has been an issue that goes back a few coaching staffs. I dont know if it's just the atmosphere in that building that brings people down or what. Edited February 1, 2017 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
