John in VA Beach Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Here's the thing. What Bates is asking for is likely to be more than what Jauron is making, and that can't happen. 585334[/snapback] I agree Bates seems to be a money guy. Is it possible to hire Bates and he and Jauron not know each others salaries? The Bills don't publicly release this info, but do they privately in house discuss salaries? Where I work I don't know my co-wokers salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 City, weather, team...these are his complaints coming from Green Bay? 585281[/snapback] It's all perception. People in New England, a place where it often gets well below zero, tell me they wouldn't live in Buffalo because of the weather! He probably talked to Sherman about the Bills. Sherman, having had a bad experience recently, tells Bates not to join the Bills. Seems pretty obvious to me. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Juron is very involved in the hiring proces I am sure that he will have an inkling or two on how much they offer Jim Bates. Perhaps they could sweeten the deal by giving him a little less than Juron and an assistant HC title, like they did when they brought LeBeau in to help Sir-Blitz-A-Lot Jerry Gray.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 El Chepo Ralph strikes again! 585372[/snapback] This probably has less to do with money than with Sherman bad mouthing the Bills to Bates. I have a hunch. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 mulling things over= counter offer. 585490[/snapback] Exactly. They are obviously going back and forth on this deal... and I hope it gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas55 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Bills won't get the services of a great defensive coordinator, Bates, because Ralph is low balling on the salary offer. A constant theme with this franchise; which has not seen the playoffs in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 If I were a high profile type of defensive coordinator, I don't think I'd want to go to a team with a head coach with a strong defensive background as I'm sure I wouldn''t be a free to run the entire defensive as I choose. Just as it's been reported that DJ is giving Fairchild freedom on the offensive side, it likely would be somewhat the opposite for the DC whomever he is. In that respect, it would make more sense for Bates to go to Houston with Kubiak. More likely the Bill's will pick up a defensive position coach who shows promise as their DC. It would be good for him to learn from a guy like DJ. Thats likely the best you'll do regardless of how much money you throw at him. Conversely, if the Bill's had selected Sherman as HC, then Bates would have been a better fit. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I don't like to rip Ralph, but can somebody explain to me the logic of being cheap with coaches? The salary cap is how many tens of millions of dollars? Obviously we have shown a desire to win by spending close to the limit on players. WTF is another 400K or even a mill for a coach? Can't he raise that much scratch in his sleep? Can't they make that much in a season by raising the price of hot dogs by 50 cents? I never understood this.

I lived there for 7 years, and you really don't realize how sheety and depressing it is until you get away. Not seeing the sun for 85 out of 100 days is pretty rough.
