DonBBnFL Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I am stunned! This is BS! We had the chance to bring in a proven winner and we settle for a loser! Nice of Marv to pick his buddy, just like TD bringing in his buddy MM. Maybe Sherman was too expensive for Mr. Wilson? I am quite sure Dick comes at a very cheap price! What a huge mistake!!!

Dr. Fong Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Alright, so what in the world makes you believe that the Bills passed on Sherman? Maybe that's who they wanted, but did you ever consider that he didn't want to coach in Buffalo? And why would he? He's getting paid to take a year off and will probably be a big front runner in any job opening in the NFL for the next couple of seasons. So why would he rush into a situation right away?

Dr. Fong Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Two words: Jim Fassel. 578914[/snapback] So because Jim Fassel hasn't gotten a head coaching job, and who knows how hard he's pursued one, then Mike Sherman has to jump on the first train to Whatevertown, USA just because they want him? I just don't find that scenario likely when you're collecting 3.5 million to sit at home and relax for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Fassel was THE coach of the day when he was booted from NY. Supposedly, he would have the choice of any job he wanted. The guy can't get a free cup of coffee from his mother these days...

So what you are suggesting is that Marv was such a terrible head coach, but somehow managed to convince at least 4/5ths of the voters he wasnt? And there are some excellent writers out there, people who know the NFL and how it works a helluva lot better then we do. When it boils down to it, we are just all armchair QBs who think we know everything, but dont know squat about the real game. Listen, I know some people are pissed tonight but making statements like that, regardless of who they come from, just come off as being REALLY petty.

I have never put much stock in the HoF, the Oscars, or Miss America... I do not applaud them for their vision in selecting Levy and then hammer them for their lack of vision in not selecting Wilson. Peter King BRAGS about being able to keep Art Monk out. What are your thoughts about Mr. King? I've seen enough of Marv and I've seen enough evidence from the GM's of the NFL to draw my own conclusion. I may be in the minority around here and that is fine with me, but I bet in a few years we will be talking about how Marv got booted to the curb yet again in Buffalo. And like clockwork - the rest of the NFL will yawn. again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy lost 4 straight big one's , each worse than the year before, Lucked out with the talent provided by polian ,,, give me a call in a couple years and show me that type of talent on the billls that bill gave him in the 80's ,I won't be holding my breath that s for sure....If marv was so great why didn't anyone else hire him after buffalo ? The guy was an average coach with way above average talent provided by polian , thats my opin. and it will never change unless of course he builds a superbowl WINNER ......I could care less if he's enshrined in canton......

The example's you've listed all WON the big one ......they didn't get spanked over and over. As a matter of fact walsh,bb and jj never lost a superbowl with equal if not less talent than the great marv had at his disposal for over 6 seasons, go figure........
