Come Get Bills...Worst Bills coaches (Youtube)


Recommended Posts

Jauron was bad but there were some that were his equal or even worse.  Hank Bullough and Kaye Stephenson come to mind.  Chan Gailey's main problem was his choice of defensive coordinators.

Joel Collier was a solid coach especially on the defensive side. His team he inherited was old.

That's fair. He was a very good defensive coordinator. He did inherit a championship team in 1966 and took them to the AFL chanpionship (losing to KC prior to the 1st Super Bowl...I still have the program from that one...there was an ad showing that $600 got you tickets to the Super Bowl, roundtrip airfare to LA and tickets to Disneyland but I digress). 4-10 in 67 and then fired almost instantly after a 48-6 throttling, at home, by Oakland. Given how poor the Bills were for a while thereafter it is likely fair that the team he had to deal with after 66 wasnt good. 

 

I stand by my comments on Harvey Johnson (Record: 2-23-1...best player on the team: mini Max Anderson) and Hank ("they tool the sails out of our wind") Bullough who the players allegedly quit on to get him fired

Harvey was not a coach until Ralph asked him. He took over after rauch got fired. I know I played football with Harvey’s son.

Ralph asked him. Harvey said yes therefore he  was a coach of the Bills. Twice in fact. Came from the defensive side of the ball to be head coach. No different than Joe Collier taking the head job after being a position coach/coordinator. Every person that is a first time head coach wasnt a coach until someone offered them the job and they said yes.

They can bash Gailey all they want but he somehow led us to beat the Patriots in week 3 of 2011.

Yeah it's really the only legit win against the Patriots in the last 15 years ?

 

Offensively he was brilliant, defense on the other hand...  My favorite drought coach though

Harvey did Ralph a favorite. Mr Johnson I knew the family bubba t.

Yes he did Ralph a favor. I was here and I remember. Twice. His record, however, speaks for itself. And he was an official Buffalo Bills head coach.

Who are these two by the way? It is a brutal listen. I won't be subscribing. It is like two drunks in a bar. 

The guy on the left appears to have snuck upstairs, whereas the fellow on the right is still down in Ma’s basement.  Make sure you click on ‘like’ and ‘subscribe’!

Jauron to me was like watching “Groundhog Day “! You just had to wonder if the team would ever be any different(good again)!!!!

 

Gailey was at least competent on the offensive side of the ball.

This video just highlights the problem of the ease of technology adoption.

 

The logic displayed in this conversation should remain in the guys basement as part of a drunken rambling evening. "The causation of the drought was the benching of Doug Flutie, and I'm not a Doug Flutie fan". Someone needs to let these two lads know that it's ok to babble away in your basement but just don't record it and put it on YouTube. 

 

When you are making a video on the worst coaches and you have candidates like Dick Jauron, Rex Ryan and Mike Malarkey to pick from you need to avoid including a few minutes talking about Marv Levy.

If I had to rank the Bills coaches during the drought from worst to be (Worst being number one) here are my picks. 

 

1- Dick Jauron - Soft defense in an era that was much more physical, weak bend don't break mentality, bad game management, poor OC decision making, and all around bad drafting.

2- Rex - Had too much faith in his system to the point where himself a defensive specialist took a top 3 defense in the league and dragged them down to the middle of the pack simply due to forcing his system when the talent was there to run the other system. He also built a toxic culture by taking on too many head cases. Only positive was his offensive coaches were good. He won more than most coaches in the drought but he also had the most talent to work with.

3- Greggo - Didn't do a whole lot when he had a lot of talent, bad in game management and bad overall decision making when it came to the offense too. 

4- Chan - Worked miracles with smoke and mirrors on offense but just made some awful decisions with D-coordinators. He didn't have a lot of talent so I can't say his lack of winning was just on him. 

5- Mularky - In two years he had one winning season, in game management wasn't the best and offense his specialty wasn't that great. Probably would be higher on this list if it wasn't for the fact that he got out of dodge quickly. 

6- Marrone - The least terrible. He had some talent for sure and put together a winning season with it. Certainly understood how to build a culture and made good defensive coaching decisions. However for an offensive guru he presided over some trash defenses. Once again probably would be rated worse if he didn't get out of dodge quickly. 

 

Dam this is a sad list.

Chan was a good coach i wish he could have done more or had better assistants around him to give him a better team !! 

 

And i think it really hurt him that he didn't come away with a better product because at his exit he showed a lot of emotion & generally looked very upset that things didn't go better in his time as HC !!
