TheCockSportif Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Admittedly a year one pairing with Gase and Whaley would've been something to watch, and I say that in a "oh, look, a barrel is going over the Falls" kind of way -- not in a "look, great things are in store for this team" kind of way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 That was the Rex hire where we were completely scattergun. We interviewed about 13 people. Anyone with a pulse and a headset. I also remember though that the one guy the Pegulas said they definitely wouldn't hire was Kyle Shanahan apparently he interviewed really poor was arrogant and condescending. Bit if spice there maybe heading into our first meeting with him as a HC next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story I recall was Shanahan was never going to coach in Buffalo and just used that interview to drive up his price. It wasn't that long ago the Bills were radioactive. No one decent would come within a mile of this franchise. (I just shuddered remembering that.) Edited November 30, 2020 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit if spice there maybe heading into our first meeting with him as a HC next week. This is also a reminder to people who think that the team is still second rate -- that a few short years ago, nobody wanted to be HC of this team. So we ended up with Jauron and Gailey and Ryan and Mr Bologna. I'm actually surprised that many HC candidates were willing to chat in 2015 TBH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible for sure. He might have been bad on purpose but the Pegulas really came away with a bad impression of him. Kyle didn't get a job that round worth saying. He was hired the same offseason as Sean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Actually, the Bills were coming off a 9-7 season and had a pretty good defense -- a great front 4 -- so there was plenty of interest at the time. Remember, Doug M. had opted out because he had that $4M safety-net and was "certain" that he was going to get the Jets job. I'm not sure that Gase would have been any worse than Rex, who came in and tore apart the one good part of the team. I wonder if Gase would have left the defense (run by Jim Schwartz) en tact? Word at the time is that this was the concept that Whaley had in mind at the time, when he wanted to hire Hue Jackson to be the head coach. Talk about a batch of losers to pick from: Rex, Gase, Hue... Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc1320 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Given the Bills track record, I’m surprised that the Bills didn’t hire Gase and draft Mitch Trubisky in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it's more Bills fan lore that we insist Mr Bologna was going to get the Jets job. Sure, he interviewed for it, but he sold high when it came to the Bills. And look what happened. He landed on his feet then picked up another HC gig in 2017 by attrition. What a guy! The Bills were in flux in 2015, and that's why Rex landed here. Yes, while I'm surprised at the number of people the team interviewed for the HC position, at the same time -- the organization still required a solid fumigation, and that took place later.

I'm old and remember the days of Harvey Johnson (2-23-1), Jim Ringo (3-20), & Hank Bullough (4-17). Honorable mention to John Rauch who went 7-20-1 and quit the team on the 6th day of camp in 1971 over a dispute with Ralph Wilson for his disparaging remarks about former Bills Ron McDole and Paul Maguire. Rex looks like the 2nd coming of Lombardi compared with these clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I don’t count Harvey Johnson as he was Ralph’s jack of all trades and never thought of himself as a HC. To me it was Rauch. To use OJ as a decoy qualifies as the dumbest move ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better drafting Barkley who will be back next year than if he had chosen Rosen whose only hope of throwing another pass in the NFL is if the rest of the QBs in Tampa get quarantined.

BuffalOhio Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Clown got hired because Peyton Manning was his QB and audibled out of all of the stupid play calls.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 So for real, how did Gase interview for and land not one but two NFL HC jobs?
