Met her a few times as a kid, super sweet and my dad spoke highly of her too. Doug came in for her lunch breaks during the offseason, and my dad said he'd wave say hi and let him be a regular human. First time he saw Doug after the Bills hiring, my dad waved and said "Congrats Coach" (his desk had a bunch of Bills stuff on it) and he rolled his eyes and said real sarcastically "yeah... buffalo... my dream job" LOL My dad's came home and said "THAT GUYS A F**** #######" and told me that story LOL one of like 3xs ive ever heard an f-bomb from my old man 🤣🤣🤣 Dude coached a mildly successful small time Syracuse and acted like Vince Lombardi lol You were a kid when Doug marone was at Syracuse and first at the bills? Are you 27! Edited April 30 by Buffalo716 1 Quote

The Jets backed off because they were afraid of the Bills filing tampering charges. Edited May 1 by Albany,n.y. Quote

Won a national champions ship in 59 I believe. Into the 60s they were good, then had success in the 80's and some again in the 90's. Unable to sustain success maybe, but Syracuse did have some pretty good teams. Problem was lack of sustained coaches, etc., and now the $$. Not a Syracuse alum, but jeez, statements like this are lacking at best.... 1 1 Quote

They were very good with Mcnabb in the 90s, almost beat that post-manning Tennessee team. Quote
dhg Posted May 1 Posted May 1 I remember this story about a sports writer. Pretty sure Syracuse based reporter that covered Bills during morons first training camp. Moron pulls the reporter aside and lays into him about a negative article the guy wrote while at Syracuse in front of everyone. Bush league Guy is a d bag. Maybe worst Bills coach ever next to John Rauch and Greggggg Quote
Mr. WEO Posted May 2 Posted May 2 That’s a lot of smoke from a guy like Goodwin. But I give him credit—with only one decent season and missing tons of games he was able to last 10 years bouncing around 5 teams, averaging only 19 catches and 300 yards per. Quote

Yeah, that's really relevant. Quote
