GoBills808 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just now, Cripple Creek said: So what you’re saying is that you should only interview minority candidates when mandated by the league? No. I was asking if the rule applied only to HC and GM because the language says 'head coach and senior football operations positions', and the Bills' opening is for OC.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Putting Schwartz on the Maroon coaching "tree" is a huge insult to Schwartz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you don't know how a coaching tree works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Doug Marrone has a coaching tree. Since when? more like a twig Edited January 12, 2018 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was Schwartz before coaching for Marrone? Oh, you mean the Detroit Lions perennial 8-8 teams? Take a look at his work after he joined ranks with Marrone. The branches extend far and you are like the neighbor that wants to chop them off because they hang over the driveway. Marrone's coaching tree can't be chopped and pruned to serve your own purposes.

Coach55 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 This is like trying to claim that Perry Fewell (Jags DB coach for 2017) should fall under the Marrone coaching tree. The guy has been coaching for 30 years and this is the first year under Marrone. He does not qualify as growing up under Marrone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to put Schwartz on the Bill Belichick or Jeff Fisher trees, that makes sense. Giving Maroon any credit at all for Jim Schwartz is a joke.

This would be a nice opportunity for McDermott and Beane to actually consider hiring a coach who isn't white. The Rooney Rule was put in place for a reason and McD's and Beane's hiring practices pretty much violate the spirit of the Rooney Rule. Our D coordinator is Lesslie Frazier not Frazier Crane. He's black not that color should matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
