Freddie's Dead Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Late in the 2005 season, as the Bills were crashing to a 5-11 record, Mike Mularkey opined "They took the sails right out of our wind". He channeled Hank Bullough and I knew he was on his way out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopey Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 To those wondering why Bruce would say Hank had a positive impact, maybe he was the one who told Bruce he was a fat ass and needed to get in shape? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce was a fat blob in 1985, he showed up in 1986 much leaner after becoming a stair master warrior. For that alone, Hank deserves some (mala)props from us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With saying that, RIP, Coach. When the players were trying to get Hank fired, he was one of the vets on the team that basically told the younger players not to make a tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 2 hours ago, I'm Spartacus said: I wonder if Fred Smerlas will attend the funeral? (I know he hated Bullough) Fred was quoted as saying”ding, *****, the witch is dead” when Bullough was fired. I wonder what Fred thinks today? Funny thing is......outside of Coach Knox, Fred was not a coaches favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwoz Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Unless I missed it, none of the stories (which all read like cut-and-paste versions of the Michigan State press release) bothered to say where he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
