Boolay Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 John Gruden.. Won at Oakland , Won at Tampa. Cowher isn't coming to Buffalo, he is waiting for the Carolina job to open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Now that is an interesting thought... Bills could use his fire.... Hmm, I was wondering who might be out there as an option and forgot out Gruden... Chuckie in Buffalo, now that would be a perfect fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 With all the Brady ball washing Gruden was doing during the MNF game, he'd probably try to bring Brady here which would suck. But his fire would be a welcome addition. I suspect he would not come cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizell Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 uggh. wasn't a fan of gruden's while he was @ TB. He basically ran that team into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Does it really matter? Find a no-name somewhere under a rock. Pay him pennies, develop players and then trade or release them. Sprinkle in some slick marketing and hope for 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 He's actually a real possibility. Here's how I see it playing out: Fisher may get canned, and Jerry J will snatch him up. If not, JJ and Snyder will bid over Shanahan - there is just no way we get Shanny. If Shanny doesn't go to Washington, they'll get Cowher instead. Holmgren to Carolina or possibly Cleveland. I'm hoping that leaves us with a real chance at Gruden, who hopefully saw enough that intrigued him on Monday night. I think Edwards is exactly the type of QB he'd like to have - smart, decisive, unafraid of running a short passing game (ugh). Gruden was very successful in Oakland (Gannon) and TB (Johnson) with similar types of QBs. Gruden cause a bit of a mess in Tampa by undermining his players - he's an odd dude. That said, he wasn't responsible for the mess of a roster they have. Aside from his peculiar habit of stockpiling QBs, I don't think he was the one responsible for the poor drafts (especially on the defensive side of the ball) or the salary cap issues they had a couple of years ago. He'd also bring some toughness and some CONFIDENCE to the Bills' sideline. I'd like to see it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjprime Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Actually I'm thinking Wilson will go with one of the retreads that get fired, maybe Jack Del Rio or John Fox. I wouldn't mind either of those guys in all honesty, tough coaches who show some emotion. Probably won't take us to the promised land but a definite upgrade over Dickie Boy. Actually now that I think about it, IF Jauron was to get the boot I know who Wilson will go for. He'll reach down into the UFL for a former Bills LB in Jim Haslett.

JOHNNYFAIRPLAY Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Love this thread, but unless Ralph dies there will be a nobody head coach in this job...that is, IF DJ gets fired. In Ralphs perspective, he keeps his overhead down by paying DJ pennies, adds guys like TO for a year, and some other type of gimic he can come up with to keep selling tickets. The Bills are not the most profitable, but make no mistake about it, they ARE profitable. Ralph doesnt care about the team winning or losing. He's running a business, which is still profitable. Win or lose, they're profitable and thats all that counts to him. I say, dont expect any major coaching change anymore this year. Just my opinion.

bdelma Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Gruden is a west coast offense guy, That would be more changes. Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I was thinking about this last night. Big names aren't going to come here because they won't get the control or the cash. I don't want some coach who is a diva, just someone who understands the nuts and bolts, and that isn't scared to make decisions on game day. The name popped into my head last night: Russ Grimm. He's had h/c interviews and is the assistant h/c & O-line coach for the Cardinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasBillsFan1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 John Gruden.. Won at Oakland , Won at Tampa. Cowher isn't coming to Buffalo, he is waiting for the Carolina job to open up. Brian Billick will be the next Bills Head Coach. You heard it here first. And I would be OK with that move, however, we really need Mike Shanahan.

I full expect one of those guys to be our next HC...probably Del Rio since he's proven less and would come cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
