BuffaloRush Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 In 2018, when just about everyone in sports media has a podcast, it made me think of one person who I feel the podcast medium would be perfect for - “The Coach” Chuck Dickerson! I would listen to The Coach after each Bills game and his rants would be legendary. I even remember a few years ago (maybe 2005) when he came back on 1180 AM in Rochester to do a Bills postgame show. Coach is still alive and well living in the Chicago area and I really feel that a post Bills game podcast would really be a good listen. What do you think?

Rochesterfan Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) His takes were legendary, but typically for the wrong reason. He was a complete blowhard that chose to purposely go against what the Bills were doing out of spite. I could not stand him then when he knew what they were doing - I doubt I would listen now when he is just another person. I would rather listen to old takes of Art Wander rather than the “coach”.

BuffaloRush Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 I disagree with y’all. I remember back in the 1994 when the wheels fell off of the Bills Super Bowl teams - largely because the defense stunk. Coach was on Marv’s arse every week about the defense, as well as about poor game planning overall. He called for the firing of Walt Corey and Dick Roach. He was 100% spot on, as Marv fired Corey and enjoyed a few good seasons thanks to Wade rebuilding the defense. Bottom line - he’s an entertaining guy. Hope to hear him on the podcast airwaves again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be black-listed here forever. Biggest buffoon in Buffalo sports history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Remember he used to call Greggg "the mouth that roared" he hated that guy. I loved listening to the coach, never did until the drought started, and he is generally a negative dude, but if the Bills are winning games i would imagine he'd be awesome. I'd tune in for sure. Learned a lot from his "coaches playbook", I had the print edition, wonder if it's online somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats Bull - he started shortly after being fired after the 2nd Super Bowl. The Bills were great through the early part - he was negative because the Bills fired his butt after the Redskin Super Bowl because he could not keep his mouth shut. He was spiteful that he was scapegoated because of his loud mouth and brash talk - went to Radio and essentially destroyed any remaining bonds with that staff. The man knew his stuff, but he did not know when to tone it down or rein it in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drf1835 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Let me see. "Caspar Milquetoast" sums up everything you ever need to know about Dickerson. He was a loud mouthed, overly sensitive, jealous and unempathetic bully that liked picking on either nice, smarter or more successful persons that he thought were better than him, persons that he felt he could tame or where he dreamed of doing such, or those that did not stroke his large butt and oversized ego, or who fired him. Did he provide entertainment and humor, and have some insight to some things.. Yes, and that is why I listened to his show for awhile. But, he was driven by his own insecurities and failures, and I eventually got sick of his personna and negativity, as learning about the Bills and hearing open minded or intelligent views was more important to me eventually than being entertained his way. The last thing we need to hear now is a hateful, negative person to try to unrail the progress the Bills are trying to make. I am fine with hearing some fair critiques and the truth about the Bills, but much of what he said was fiction and with intent to brings others down to his level. He was the comic book character, and not those others he belittled. He knew that. So, when he called often another Dudley Doright, Caspar Milquetoast, That Little Pimple, etc., he was actually talking about himself, as he knew he was the one doing wrong, talked with a loud mouth and bullied others, and as he knew was far from being a little guy. If I want to be entertained that way, I would go to the circus, or listen to those political others, that are doing much of the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 In the early days of internet radio broadcasts I didn't have a computer yet, so I got WebTV so that when I got home I could listen to The Coach's daily show on WGR. During his time on the radio the Bills went from an AFC dynasty to a non-playoff team. I thought he was pretty funny & a catharsis for the bad play on the field. He's much funnier to listen to when the team is in decline than when (hopefully) they are on the rise. If you're going to propose a podcast with Dickerson, might as well go all the way & have Jerry Sullivan join him. Back in the day, I used to go to every Bills home game. One time I was driving back to Albany with Petrino & we called Coach up after a late season game (I think it was Donahoe's last home game) where it had snowed & I had security come down because right below our seats was the roof of the indoor seats & I wrote "Fire Mularkey" in the snow and they made me erase it. Coach asked if I had written it in yellow. Another memory of the Coach is when a caller said something he really liked, he adopted it as if he was the originator. After a Bills loss a caller phoned in & called a play "4th & stupid". Soon afterwards the Coach used that phrase often, as if he was the one who originally said it.

SectionC3 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I’m not defending the guy - he caused a lot of havoc in my life. But he had some great sources and some incredibly interesting insight that he shared off air. Want a new scapegoat for SB XXV? Try “dumber than a bag of hammers” Walt Corey. Dickerson told a story about how he screamed at Corey in the showers at halftime of that Super Bowl b/c Corey was calling defenses the team hadn’t practiced or used for months.

Great except that defense held the Giants to 10 points at halftime and had a Safety. If Dickerson was complaining about the defense in that game - he needed to look in the mirror because the offense forgot to show up after blowing up the previous game. If he complained the next year - he might have a point as Washington just man handled the Bills, but he also had a special place in that because although they were told to provide no bulletin board material - he went out and got quoted making all the pig noises and insulting the Washington OL - which was seen as a huge issue and lead to his firing. He did have good sources because he had built some friends on the team, but those started evaporating as the offense and defensive coaches and front office starting changing, but he kept acting like he had sources.
