Roscoe Parrish, Terrence McGee were the best PR/KR tandem of the 2000s. 

McGee is like in my top-3 favorite Bills of all time. One of the regrets I always had about his career was how they had to shift him away from KR when he became our best CB.

 

how about the famous McGee KR against the Saints before the half, where he was tackled at the 1? So Billsy in result, but yet an absolute epic return.

Yes! The best non TD return i’ve ever seen. In the current NFL i think McGee could’ve made it onto the offensive side.  Like a Travis Hunter or even Devin Hester dual role.

If I remember correctly, all of the other 10 Bills on the field for that play should be ashamed of themselves.

I definitely tend to agree. But Rebrovich is not McDermott guy. He worked on Rex Ryan's staff and under Mike Pettine and Jim Schwartz under Doug Marrone. He did some good things in Jacksonville and Green Bay as well, and helped develop Josh Hines-Allen and Kingsley Enagbare. He just came back to us as an assistant under Marcus West. My point is that he doesn't really have that McDermott stink on him, and so I could see him being the guy. Ideally, they do look outside, but he is a good coach. 

Wow the name Mike Pettine brought me back - had to look up what he's doing now - didn't realize he was OLB coach for Minn, just retired - he and Flores didn't get along

He's actually had a good career and has some guys in his tree still floating around. I liked him as a DC, he just wasn't a good head coach.

Just need to bring back his dad— best ST coach we ever had! 

That would have been Bruce DeHaven back in the Super Bowl era for best Special Teams coach.  But Bobby April was definitely an animated intense guy.

I was a big Terrance McGee fan also.  He was an excellent football player, whether returner or playing CB.  People thought Taron Johnson was a good nickel back when he was younger. (he sucks now)  McGee was a much better player and athlete than Taron.  Its too bad that injuries cut his career short somewhat.

re DeHaven, there is obviously one black mark on his resume that we cannot speak of.
