jimmy griffin Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 DJ is a teacher. This core of players is being taught this season. 8-8 this season and then a winner comes to Buffalo. Here are the choices: Shannahan: Would install a west coast offense using TEs and a great running game (one cut to north south). Would score points and scare Miami and the Pats. Cowher: Would be an aggressive blitzing defense. The offensive line would be physical and dominate. Good special teams, just a hard team that would be in every game and win about 9 -11 games per season. Holmgren: West coast offense. Would want to GM as well. Would have a boring style of play -- but he was good in a small town before --- see GREEN BAY. Gruden: West coast offense. Would be a drill sargent. Knows good players and would install a very good ground game. He was great with the Raiders where he made Ty Wheatley an all pro overnight. Dungy: Chill guy who asks for maturity on the team. Would instill a winning attitude. It helped that he had Peyton Manning. I don't think Dungy is any better/worse than Herm Edwards -- who stunk as a pro coach. Buffalo will get one of these guys next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gus2378 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Of those guys, I'd want Cowher probably, but any of them will be infinitely better than whomever the Bills actually hire. You better add a few names to the list that will cost a LOT less if you want this to be at all realistic. All those guys will not only cost way more than Ralph will ever pay a head coach, but they will also want far more control than he will give them. For instance, none of them will stand for the owner sitting in the draft room overruling scouts, one of Ralph's hobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY Nole Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Buffalo will get one of these guys next season. Surely you jest. In your hypothetical world, however, I would take Shanahan. Denver was stupid for getting rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton80 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 In this make believe exercise, I would take Cowher due to his Northeast style of play. More likely would be Mike Nolan or Marty Moningwig, they would come cheap, be easily controlled and we would not be competing with anyone for their services.

GOBILLS78 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 What's the consensus? Are we completely against bringing in a college coach or NFL assistant? Or do we think NFL head coaching experience is a must? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
