Albany,n.y. Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 How about Jim Bates for Head Coach. He did a good job in Miami last year and has head coaching experience from his USFL days. If Ralph doesn't want to break the bank, but doesn't want to risk another rookie coach failure, Bates is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Why not? I'm sure Bates will do an excellent job of restructuring the contract of Mike Williams and either re-signing Clements or getting good value for him in a trade. He'll also make damn sure we address our offensive and defensive lines early and often on draft day. It's just that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fla Bills Fan Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I think Bates deserves a shot as a head coach, I wouldn 't mind if it was in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Only if we can refer to him as "Master Bates". If he's not cool with that, I'd pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
