Lori Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 As previously noted - RCW liked Jauron the last time he interviewed here. Also mentioned the STRONG possibility that Sherman would indeed bring Bates with him if he's the guy. (from the rebroadcast of the 7PM Total Access; apologies in advance if previously posted. I've been distracted with a balky DSL install for a good part of the evening...) About time for the local TV guys to chime in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brings a winning attitude to a franchise in need of one. If the vets don't jump on the bandwagon, then it's time to cut them all. This means Milloy, Vincent, Moulds, Adams, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Just say no to Dick! 571850[/snapback] So you don't want Dick Head Coach? Me neither, if its down to Sherman and Jauron, I'd much prefer Sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If thats the case. I'm definitly in the sherman camp. HELL YES JIM BATES. I'm iffy on Sherman, but anyone who will bring in bates has my vote of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture to say we have better defensive personell then the packers. Bates also did a pretty good job with the dolphins. Other then Donnie Henderson I can't think of many other people I'd be more stoked about having as a defensive coordinator then Jim Bates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 why is people so high on bates?even when the offense was going good in greenbay (before last season) it seemed like green bay could never stop anybody on defense.i know they have kgb but they havnt had a good defense in years. 571882[/snapback] I honestly don't know who this Bates guy is, but I do know that he hasn't been the DC in GB for very long if that's who he is. Ed Donatell who is in Atlanta now was the DC and fired after the 4th&26 play vs. Philly in the playoffs. The Packer defense did overachieve this past year I thought. Edit: oh yeah, the Dolphins interim guy. Another thing about that Philly game I remember is Sherman punting on 4th&1 in Eagle territory when a 1st down would've clinched the game and Ahman Green had 200 yards rushing.

Ozymandius Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Both of these guys look like doofuses, not future Super Bowl winning coaches. http://www.detroitlions.com/bio.cfm?bio_id=205 http://www.packers.com/team/coaches/sherman_mike/ Yes, I'm talking about physical appearance. I know it sounds stupid but it's my theory and I'm sticking with it. Just by looking at them, I can't imagine either of these guys holding a Lombardi trophy. Neither will be the one that delivers a championship to Buffalo. That said, Sherman has at least coached good teams in the past and can hopefully rebuild the Bills to respectability. If he gets hired, I'll be satisfied I guess knowing that while he isn't the long-term Super Bowl winning solution, he can at least get Buffalo back to the playoffs, which is a huge first step, before eventually ceding his job to someone like Gruden who will finish the dream.

Josh Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 For those interested, here is a link where you can watch Mike Sherman arriving at the Buffalo-Niagara airport. http://www.wgrz.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=34569 Thought it could be posted, but wasn't worth a new topic.

JimBob2232 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If I recall correctly, he was even Miamis intirim head coach when wanny got fired, and did pretty darn well. Probably could have/would have gotten the job if saban stayed at LSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If it's down to two candidates, then what the hell was Marv referring to when he said that it would be "an exhaustive search" Sherman over Jauron, IMO. But I can't say I'd be woo-hooing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 If it's down to two candidates, then what the hell was Marv referring to when he said that it would be "an exhaustive search" 571931[/snapback] Jeez, the guy is 80 years old, Ralph is 87 years old. I bet they are exhausted.. I still find it hard to believe that the Bills won't interview somebody else, if not at the very least, the minority candidate that they are required (I thought) to interview. Until Ralph or Marv says that it is down to one of these two guys, I don't know how it can be assumed that this is it, the only two candidates...

habes1280 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Not much new. Kilgore figures Marv/RCW will make a quick decision once they've finished interviewing Sherman. 571876[/snapback] While I'm all for the urgency-- isn't this a bit hasty. An internal interview with April, followed by back-to-back courtships of Jauron and Sherman, and the process ends? I'm also not sure of the particulars, but isn't a minority candidate manditory in the interview process? It would seem a little disingenuous to make a tacit decision on Jauron or Sherman, followed by a gratuitous interview with Teddy C. for window-dressing.
