BillsGuyInMalta Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 We really can only hope...Come on though Mularkey, EVERY SINGLE HEAD COACH faces criticism. Is it often too harsh and undeserved? You damn right...the media and NFL fans are arrogant dicks sometimes...but that is the same for every NFL team. Â Okay...except for maybe in Jacksonville where the fans seem to be saying "Whoa, whoa...wait a second Buckaroo...we have a team here? Stop lying, we do not!"

Teams have contacted him already, and he's refused every interview, citing that he doesnt want to uproot his family. So methinks if Mularkey does quit (I doubt we'd be that lucky), Marv will be looking elsewhere...how about the Mooch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet baboo Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Mularkey supposedly worked incredibly hard starting from IBM to a closet with the Bucanneers to finally just quit at his dream? Â ok then...quit mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 That phrase about heat and the kitchen thing comes to mind. If MM wants to quit, I would accept his resignation and dont let the door hit ya where the lord split ya ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yeah how in the world does this stuff leak out?

pdj Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'd be somewhat suspect of this rumor. If he's decided to quit, why in the world would he blame it on his family?

soldier Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Bills | Mularkey to resign? Thu, 12 Jan 2006 12:51:27 -0800 Â ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Buffalo Bills head coach Mike Mularkey reportedly met with team president Ralph Wilson and general manager Marv Levy Thursday, Jan. 12, about resigning from the head coaching post. The resignation is not forced, as Wilson and Levy are trying to convince him to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hootie1 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Maybe this leak is a face saving way to let Mularkey go.

Arkady Renko Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I totally understand why college football coaches often turn down the opportunity to coach in the NFL. A college football coach can have an entire career in one place and make tons of money. In the NFL, most fail and most leave after a few years.
