Meh. When they start awarding multiple compensatory draft picks to the Houston Texans, THEN I will be impressed. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the only mistake that keeps on giving is the one you refuse to cut your losses on. In retrospect that "trade" of Osweiler to Cleveland was brilliant. Look, here's the point I'm trying to make on O'Brien: - made the playoffs in 4 out of 6 years - won a game in the playoffs in a couple of those years If McDermott's Bills make the playoffs in the next 2 seasons and actually win a game in each, we'll be applauding his contract extension. Would you applaud making him GM because he won a couple playoff games? That’s what we’re taking about here. He’s the only HC in the league to also be the GM.

BillsFan4 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) For real? When I read the thread title I totally thought you were just messing around Yolo. ? wtf has this guy done to keep getting more and more power in the Texans organization? I thought they were were waiting for Charlie Casserly’s contract to expire in May...

He is a college professor locally (George Mason, MBA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 O’Brien and Marrone must get together in the off-season in some secret locale and just giggle like schoolgirls at how they have fleeced these teams. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 He seems like a buffoon but the stuff I made fun of last offseason generally worked better than I expected. i still think it’s the wrong move, but I pause slightly before totally mocking it and will simply remain skeptical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare, for example, what McDermott has done in three years with far less talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Oh boy, oh boy. Bill O’Brien Lifetime Record as a Coach against Buffalo is 12-2 9-1 as an assistant 3-1 as a head coach So...yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Guess they will never have a first round draft pick again as he will always be chasing the "Win now" mentality, kinda like what McVay has done with the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread is about Bill O’Brien getting handed the GM title on top of the HC title, the only one in the nfl to hold that prominent of a dual role in the league. Not about whether he can beat the Bills as a coach. Your responses don’t align with the topic people are discussing, unless you intended to quote someone who specifically thought he was a bad coach compared to McDermott or something.
