Oh god...if Meathead 2.0 leaves the Bills, does that leave the door open for Meathead 1.0 to come in and take his place?

 

Ralph is a cheap bastard when it comes to hiring head coaches...he could EASILY see Mike Tice as the best available (and cheapest) HC canidate.

While i dont condone the insults fired toward a coach's or athlete's or celebrities family, they are in the spotlight and have to know enough that criticism is going to come no matter where you are. You need thick skin for any type of job that puts you in the spotlight.

 

That being said, Mularkey deserves plenty of criticism for this season, as well as last season. Perhaps had he not thrown to shelton so much, or actually used some of our best players, instead of sticking with his little "packages", or started JP against the jets instead of trying to save his job, he wouldnt be criticized as much.

 

Also, being forced to fire almost all of your assistants means that ownership is basically giving you a 1 year tryout for your job, not exactly an enviable situation to be in.

Marv: "Look Mike, a shiny piece of paper...go in the corner and play with it"

 

Tice: "Ooooooooooooooo...purdy...I will love it and pet it and call it George"

 

Marv: "Now, is there any possible way I can bring in Keith McKellar to run the offense...kid's got moxy!"

Although he may still be talked into staying on the job, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen and ESPN.com on Thursday that Buffalo Bills coach Mike Mularkey was in an afternoon meeting with high-ranking team officials that could lead to his resignation.

 

If is believed that the meeting includes Bills owner Ralph Wilson and newly-appointed general manager Marv Levy.

 

Sources said that, because of family considerations, Mularkey intended to walk away after only two seasons, but felt that he needed to meet with Bills management before he formally tendered his resignation. Mularkey had lengthy meetings with Wilson last week as the Bills owner dramatically reshuffled the football operation.

 

Wilson fired team president/general manager Tom Donahoe, re-hired Levy, the Hall of Fame coach who led the Bills to four Super Bowl appearances, and made other changes to the front office. It is believed that Wilson also suggested changes in the coaching staff and Mularkey subsequently dismissed five assistants.

 

In two seasons, Mularkey has compiled a 14-18 record, including a disappointing 5-11 mark in 2005.

This is just ridiculous......If this is true, 2 things...

 

1) Let MM go. He is obviously unhappy and unstable. Get him help, but don't make him be head coach.

2) Find whoever the hell is leaking this crap and fire their ass.
