BubbaT Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Is anybody else surprised that it is taking this long to hire these 2 positions? With all the staffs being put together I would have thought the Bills would be diving in to obtain coaches before many were scooped up. I wonder 1) If the Bills jobs are not viewed as attractive at all or 2) if they are waiting for people still in the playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 with Special Teams at least, it can’t get any worse than it was this past season. So anyone they grab will be an upgrade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I try not to worry about things over which I have no control. I hope they have a plan that will work. Regardless, nobody in my family gets fired as a result. The Bills will still.......be the Bills. And I’ll still be there..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhit34 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 There are 32 jobs each as NFL OLine, Special Teams and Wide Receivers coaches. The thought that Buffalo isn't desirable is misplaced paranoia. Look how the fired head coaches, whose multi-million $ contracts are guaranteed, are jumping at the chance to be coordinators. The position coaches are football lifers and would jump at the chance to land one of the 32 most prestigious jobs in their profession almost regardless of the team. Whether they make a good choice, that's different but it's highly unlikely that someone says no because it's Buffalo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

707BillsFan Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Playoffs are still going on. I'm not up to date on all new coaches, spots being filled, but I'm sure most new head coaches have pretty much filled their staff. Whoever is left, the Bills pretty much have their choice. I've heard a number of names being tossed about (coaches still out there w/o a job). We may be one of the last to fill their openings, but I don't think that's bad. We always rush to judge, have a certain guy we all want or think that'd be perfect for the Bills. We'll be fine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
