oldmanfan Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Albany,n.y. said: He already was a head coach in KC for 5 seasons and coached in the USFL & CFL, so anyone saying Marv Who wasn't paying attention. Also interesting was under Bill Polian's writeup in the 1986 media guide, before Marv was hired was the following: "Polian joined the Bills in August of 1984 after working for one year as player personnel director of the USFL Chicago Blitz. In Chicago, Polian was associated with head coach Marv Levy, with whom he had previously worked in both Montreal of the Canadian League, as a U.S. scout during the 1976-77 seasons and Kansas City, as a pro scout from 1978-1982." So if you had the 1986 media guide, you could have figured out that Polian was going to bring in Marv as soon as he had enough of an excuse to fire Hank Bullough. Maybe more Marv why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think head coaches should have experience as a coordinator before getting the job, not just as a positional coach. My comment was not about special teams. My comment was about him being a WR positional coach. Noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows; this guy could be good. He could be a nightmare. Give it some time. mcDermott was the D coordinator for a super bowl team 1 year before we hired him.

Was going to be hires at Miss St and Giants got him first Do you think he would have had other NFL teams interested in him as a head coach this season? The Giants seem like a big step up from Miss St. Tough for me to trust the Giants on this one. I didn’t like the Barkley or Jones pick, and Pats assistants have little track record of success.

HappyDays Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 7 hours ago, Success said: Giants are already getting roasted on twitter - I love how sports fans rush to judgment immediately. Everyone saying that WR was the worst position for the Pats, without understanding that Judge also coached their special teams, which were spectacular. Remember when they got slammed for picking Danny Jones? Yup, I don't know why people rush to judgment every time a coach is hired. I actually trust this kind of hire more than I would trust the "hot names" that pop up. Personally I think most teams look for the wrong coaching skills. Forget the best coordinator or whatever. Find me a leader of men that has good networking skills and knows the game inside and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Any loss for the Cheaters* is good news. If he’s the guy who called for the deciding blocked punt/TD against us in the first game, he deserves what the NYC media will give him at his New Jersey employer. Karma, baby!

Mr. WEO Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Maybe it must be because NFL teams make tons off profit no matter how bad the teams are, a lot of NFL owners can make a series of dumb decisions without consequence. Obviously legendary grifter Jimmy "Flying J" Haslam is the worst off them. Then Snyder comes to mind. Time to put the sainted Mara's in this category. Look a the mess they have made since they, with the least "classiness" possible, showed Tom Couhglin the door. Ben McAdoo, Shurmur for 2 seasons and now the New Brian Daboll--some nobody from NE. And keeping their slow adult GM. The Jets seem well run in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
