spartacus Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 "you play to win the game" no matter what the zss clowns on this board think, there is value in learning how to do that - especially for a young team that imploded at 2-8 last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I would absolutely, 100% prefer Wade to skeletor. Wade is a much better coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joma Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Sorry, but the Bills have actually gotten worse at HC (and everywhere else) since Wade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Little Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Wade went 29-19 here. His worst season was 8-8, a point Jauron hasn't reached in three seasons. Why wouldn't you want Wade over Jauron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Man, it would suck to be a play away from winning a playoff game most years. I'm glad we have Jauron instead of Philips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Why wouldn't I want Wade? Because he can't win the big one either. He proved it in Buffalo and has proven it beyond all doubt in Dallas. It's tempting to blame Smiley for that, but it's been consistent with all Wade's teams. Wade's statement is right up there with the classic "we're beating ourselves but we're getting better at it" or whatever...who was that, immortal Hank Bullough? Ralph went thru a bunch of goofball coaches before taking a chance on Levy and hit the jackpot. If we can suffer through this year and Ralph doesn't leave this world, Mike Holmgren will be looking to coach again next year. Maybe the Walrus could do something for the team.

sharper802 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 DJ isn't even in the same conversation as Wade as a defensive coordinator. Wade is not as good as Lebeau but he is probably just as good as Kiffin and Rex Ryan. He is not a very good HC but even there he is much better than DJ - even without a headset. The fans and media got on this guy for not wearing a head set. I'd take a bald headed nasty melanoma staring back at me headcoach with no headset that makes the playoffs over DJ anyday!

Mike in Syracuse Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Wade is an AMAZING defensive coordinator but he mediocre head coach. I positive if he was here our defense would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastback Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Wade went 29-19 here. His worst season was 8-8, a point Jauron hasn't reached in three seasons. Why wouldn't you want Wade over Jauron? You're dealing with NozzleNut. She's off the reservation and has been for some time. I'd personally take Wade's record over the past few seasons over Dickie's in a heartbeat. Some people just like having a high draft pick I guess...

jimmy griffin Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Agree. He really knows DE. His pass rushing units and packages are legend. As a head guy -- yikes. Too loose. Gruden is the answer in blfo. short passing game and smash mouth running game -- 2 runs and short pass to a TE. boring -- but it will get bills to the playoff. Wade is an AMAZING defensive coordinator but he mediocre head coach. I positive if he was here our defense would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvbillzfan Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hate to bust everyone's bubble, but here's a list of coaches who will not be on the Bills sidelines in 2010: Bill Cowher Mike Holmgren Mike Shanahan John Gruden Brian Billick All SB winning coaches -- All too expensive for Ralph.

I wasn't on the board at that time, but I was disappointed that he was fired. Ronnie Jones was his undoing, but if they could've handled that behind closed doors I would've loved for his to stay. The facts are that he was the LAST playoff coach Buffalo had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade was, and is head and shoulders above DJ both as a defensive mind and a head coach. I was disapointed when Ralph fired him and we haven't had a competent HC since he left. btw I like your signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
