Buffalo_South Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I think that Ralph has so tainted the waters for potential coaches, it is going to take a mountain of concessions on his part to get any quality coach to seriously consider Buffalo. We don't have a true GM. Our FO is full of Ralph Wilson yes men and Ralph doesn't want to pay what it costs to land a winning coach. Not to mention we inexplicably will not raise our ticket prices to make ourselves more revenue competitive and we are tied to this Cash to Cap policy and therefore won't spend the money other teams do to get all of the peices they need to compete. Outside of all of that, I think Buffalo is a "no-brainer". Who wouldn't want to coach here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 It could happen. The Walrus left Seattle to take a year off. Has said it would take him being GM AND Coach to come back. If he could get that in Buffalo it would be a great setup for him. Small market like Green Bay. Rabid fan base. We're down, he can build us up and be a hero. Likes cold weather football. Ralph is itching to bring a good coach in here and knows he needs a new GM too. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Downside is the Walrus pretty much failed at this in Seattle and had to give up the GM role and be only coach. Seattle suffered though many 8-8, 7-9, and 9-7 seasons before hitting it big in 2005. Maybe he learned something. He's also good at bringing along young QBs. Anyone heard of Brett Favre and Matt Hasselback? Just what the doctor ordered. I say do it.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I believe Seattle made their Super Bowl breakthrough after Tim Ruskell took over the GM duties from Bob Whitsitt who I believe was basically a Holmgren puppet while he was GM. Once Ruskell took over the reins and Holmgren focused on coaching the Seahawks were able to get to the Super Bowl (where they were somewhat robbed by poor officiating in losing to the Steelers). If Holmgren took over football operations, I wonder who he would name as his general manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper13 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Look, Ralph is incapable of running things. I think that has been proven. Give Holmgren whatever he wants and let's get this thing going. It's rumors like this that make me think I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. It's torture.

sfladave Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 thats an off season thing. no way ralphie pulls that off 5 games into the season when he had no idea of axing jauron coming into this But then again if I were Ralph I would be thinking I need to change this up ASAP and let the rebuilding begin! Fans would love the dramatic move. It might actually help us win a few extra games just from better clock management and the end of game decision making process and season ticket sales would jump UP next offseason...DOH! What am I thinking! I do not think that this type of decision can be made by this ownership????? We will probably hear that Jauron will be back next season. He was dealt an unfair hand with numerous injuries etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USABuffaloFan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I found the right link: http://hardknoxsports.com/nfl/buffalo-bill...holmgren-bills/ Give me a break! People, worthy news comes from worthy news sources. Nothing is happening till we are closer to the bye week if it happens at all. There is not a interm coach on the Bills roster, Cottrell could have done it but Fewell, Pelt, April, Krugher, etc.. are lucky they still have jobs. Wilson will fire Modrak, Guy, Jauron, Fewell and hire a new pro-personnel/coach for next year. Braddon is home grown and is going nowwhere. Stop the stupid rumors!!!

ChasBB Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I like Holmgren, but I did not care for how he announced his exit from Seattle prior to the end of his last season. He kind of made himself a lame duck by doing so. Either you are into it or you are not -- there's no middle ground "I'm leaving at the end of the season". Just keep that to yourself and lead your team while you're the HC. I'd still take him immediately over Jauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunis69 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 thats an off season thing. no way ralphie pulls that off 5 games into the season when he had no idea of axing jauron coming into this I totally agree. As much as I'd love to believe this rumor, there is no way this is true. RW will ride this season out with Jauron and make his decision in the off season.

RW will ride this season out with Jauron and make his decision in the off season. I think it's an off season thing too, but if you wait until the off season to do it, you're too late. Now would be the time to get the ball rolling on something like this. Plus the Walrus' wife told him he could not coach this year so there's no way he comes riding in on a white stead during the bye week. They may work something out and announce it after the season is over. I have no idea if it's true, but it's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
