scribo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 This is everyone's chance to go on the record. I went for someone outside the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murra Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Putting Bobby April as one of four choices will severely misrepresent the actual fanbase. The name pops out at you, and everyone and their mother loves that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I will be blasted for saying this, but I trust our fellow fans here are intelligent enough to read all four choices before voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I like Bobby April, but for the life of me can't figure out why people around here would like to see him promoted to head coach. I voted for someone outside the organization, but it needs to be soon or not at all. I hate the fact Ralph waits until all the good candidates are gone before making a move. Old bastard.

I know for a fact we had plenty of people complaining when Mularkey was hired before the Pats'* coordinators were available to be interviewed. It is just another classic example of how fans can never be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 In that case, it was the failed Belichek coaching tree. If we plan on going after someone on a staff still playing with a serious offer, I can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I went for outside the organization, also. We really need a new face with fresh ideas...heck, if it's from an NFC team that hasn't played us in 4 years, that might be the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I believe Mularky and the Pats coordinators all failed anyways, but hope it works out for us soon. I don't have a clear cut favorate just hope it's not a bottom feeding bumbling idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I love Bobby April. My only concern with BA is if he has the ability to recruit reputable assistant coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickie do-right Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Eric Mangini He got a bad rap in NY. His GM gave him a 39 year old QB with gray hair and a bad shoulder and a throw it up - someone might catch it mentality. I think he would do well here and also hire some a good OC and DC. He's still young (37) and I think would bring a good mental approach and winning football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 If we did get someone new, I would hope they would bring in a coordinator who knows the Tampa 2. I hate rebuilding and the last thing I want to see is someone come in saying we should have a 3-4 (for example). Let's work with what we have. Rebuilding (again) would suck.

We wouldn't want to bring in a succsessful defensive scheme or anything. Keep thinking that our sad excuse of a zone defense has made coaches lose sleep this season the night before gameday, because the reality is that our defense has the talent to be great, but coaching only allowed it to be slightly sub-par, often being dismissed from criticism.

How can you have a great T2 defense without a pass rush from your DL???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billnutinphoenix Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 How about adding to the poll - Do we think DJ will be fired?...I think the fact that it is real quiet...sounds like he is staying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 The results thus far show pretty clearly what we fans think. I predict Jauron is let go tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobChalmers Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 How about adding to the poll - Do we think DJ will be fired?...I think the fact that it is real quiet...sounds like he is staying... Did you miss the press conference yesterday where Ralph Wilson said the Bills brass were meeting and would have an announcement on Wednesday? Don't expect much more noise until then. We'll all just have to hold our breath hoping RW sees the obvious. Spagnola looks awfully good to me, btw. I also agree that Mangini got a raw deal - but he's no Bellichik. All of evil BB's assistants worry me - you get the impression it really is all him. Cowher would be great of course - and he does like the Bills' talent - but I don't think there's any way he's coming to Buffalo - he'd be leaving too much money on the table from the Jets.
