dpberr Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Perhaps they had very valid or personal reasons to decline an interview for an opening in a small fraternity of 32 jobs like it. You'd hate to think ego was the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you recall, Grimm was somewhat of a legend on the old BBMB. So many fans wanted him as HC, despite never having ascending to anything higher than a position coach. Yet some Bills fans really wanted Russ. Brian Schottenheimer rode the coattails of a decent run with NYJ. He was considered to be the “Hot” coaching candidate. I can’t remember anyone being too Disappointed he turned down the Bills, but some felt slighted. Long story short, Grimm was fired in AZ a few years later. Still never ascended last OL coach and is now out of the NFL. Schottenheimer was fired from NYJ and was out of the NFL. Now he’s made somewhat of a comeback with Seattle though I don’t think he’ll get any HC interviews Schottenheimer will be a HC in 2 years or less.

Marty, Brian, Kurt, Catherine Elizabeth. Doesn't even matter. Pick one and that's the correct answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 No. I called them both after seeing this thread, and they confirmed that they have no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevause it’s and interesting topic. 2 guys turn down 1 of 32 HC openings and their careers take a downward spiral. Lighten up, there Mr, Grinch.

The Bills Blog Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It's because his name was Grimm and some fans thought that sounded tough and hard-nosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
