stevestojan Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 You may be kidding, but I would love to have Wade back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Wouldn't mind that either...think about how far we have fallen. 2000: Playoffs, top rated defense every year....but doesn't wear a headset. CUT! 2006: Hmmm...maybe Gene Hackman is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdelma Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Ralph v. Wade -- The $750,000 question Former Buffalo Bills coach Wade Phillips and his former boss, owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr., appeared before a National Football League arbitrator for several hours Wednesday. Phillips is contesting he should be paid the remainder of his contract with the team. Wilson, however, contends Phillips should not be compensated because the coach quit after last season and was not fired. Phillips was paid $200,000 of the $950,000 he was scheduled to make for this year when the Bills stopped payment. Jay Moyer, an arbitrator for the NFL, heard testimony from both parties Wednesday but a decision is not expected for several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Good grief... I had no idea that so many Bills fans would support reaching into the past for answers. This has become absolutely pathetic. Remember, Ralph fired Wade and it was a bitter parting. He might as well hire back Tom Donahoe. Kirk Ferentz.

BuffaloWings Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Wade Phillips is one those "outstanding coordinators, but lousy head coach". Look what he did in Denver, Buffalo, Atlanta, and now in San Diego....just as the defensive coordinator. His track record as a head coach is horrible, but when he directly ran the defenses, they were in the top 5 of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went 2-1 btw... His track record as a head coach is horrible 564133[/snapback] Playoffs 3 times in 5 years....indeed horrible. He wouldn't be my first choice, and there is not even any way it is possible...but you we could (and have done) a lot worse. (See every year since he left...)
