Bills hire Studesville as running backs coach

‘Studesville spent the past three seasons coaching the New York Giants running backs.’

AP | Jan 22, 2004

Phillips and Williams both took the fall

‘Williams did not get fired … he merely wasn’t renewed. But even as his tenure fell apart, Williams declined to blame his assistants, particularly offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride whose stubborn, inflexible philosophy and play-calling did more than anything else to cost his boss the job.’

Olean Times Herald | Jan 22, 2004

Mularkey names three assistants

‘April’s reputation took a hit in St. Louis, where his units allowed 10 special teams touchdowns while scoring only one the last three seasons. He lost control of kickoff coverage (ranked 30th this season) in 2002, but he did oversee the punt coverage unit, which finished last this season (15.1 yards per return). His kickoff and punt returns finished in the middle of the pack.’

Mularkey connects with Bills fans

‘Although she did take Donahoe’s remark as an attack on fans, she said she doesn’t see Mularkey’s greeting as a makeup call. Rather, with her $390 season ticket bill coming in the mail soon, Babiarz said it’s simply a case of the team buttering her up, high-tech style. “I thought more that Tom Donahoe would make sure he was touching base with his season ticket holders as soon as possible to get them pumped, because that bill is coming next week, I know it is,” she said.’

Three Finalists Interview for Football Opening

‘Gilbride, a 29-year coaching veteran, has spent the last 14 years in the pro ranks, including two seasons as a head coach and 11 others as an offensive coordinator. Known as one of the preeminent offensive minds in the game, Gilbride has spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, which he led to offensive rankings of 11th and 30th in the 2002 and 2003 seasons, respectively. Prior to his stint in upstate New York, Gilbride served as the offensive coordinator for the Houston Oilers (1990-94), Jacksonville Jaguars (1995-96), and Pittsburgh Steelers (1999-00), where his teams were perennially ranked near the top of the league in passing offense.’

Cornell Daily Sun | Jan 22, 2004

Inside slant

‘”There are some guys that you can’t ask them to do things they aren’t capable of,” Mularkey said. “There are great schemes and ideas that go on across the league every Sunday, but if you don’t have the personnel to do it, you’re asking for failure. It starts with the quarterback but it’s coordinated across the board. That’s my philosophy with it.”‘

CBS Sportsline | Jan 22, 2004

Strategy and personnel

‘Gregg Williams could’ve saved his job and Kevin Gilbride’s too had they given Henry the football eight to 10 more times a game.’

CBS Sportsline | Jan 22, 2004

Notes, quotes, anecdotes

‘The Bills are keeping close tabs on University of Pittsburgh WR Larry Fitzgerald eligibility ruling for the draft. They are in need of a talented wideout, and while they pick 13th, might consider doing whatever it takes to move up into the top 10 for a chance to grab Fitzgerald.’

CBS Sportsline | Jan 22, 2004

Mike Mularkey talks to Channel 2

‘Many NFL head coaches are so consumed with their jobs they’re known to sleep in the office and forget the name of the family pet. Mike Mularkey says he will not be one of them. He believes balance is the key to success, both on and off the field. He says he will be passionate about coaching the Bills, but says he will also always make time for his wife Betsy and two sons. Mularkey, however, does admit the hectic pace of his new job is consuming him right now.’

WGRZ-TV | Jan 22, 2004

Things to get off my chest

And while we’re at it, everyone is comparing the Philadelphia Eagles (losers of three consecutive NFC Championship games) to the Buffalo Bills.

Now, wait a minute. The Buffalo Bills won a ton of huge playoff games. They never lost a championship game in their house-much less two in a row. In fact, Jim Kelly was 9-1 at home in the postseason! As Philadelphia has found out, it is very difficult to reach one Super Bowl-never mind four in a row. Before anyone finds an easy way of comparing the Eagles failures with the Bills-check the facts. Those Bills defeated Dan Marino’s Dolphins and Joe Montana’s Chiefs and John Elway’s Broncos in the postseason. They won AFC Championship games at home and on the road. They won them with offense, and they won them with defense. So, to Eagles players, fans, and media; enough already with the Bills bashing. Today’s Eagles would be fortunate to have one Hall of Fame player like Bruce Smith, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas, or Jim Kelly.

Bills hire April to coach special teams; retain LB coach Blackmon

‘The Bills retained Don Blackmon as their linebackers coach. Blackmon completed his first season in Buffalo, coaching a revamped corps that featured two new starters — Pro Bowl selection Takeo Spikes and Jeff Posey.’

AP | Jan 21, 2004

April Joins Bills As Special Teams Coach

‘The Bills announced that the team has hired Bobby April as special teams coach and that Don Blackmon will remain as linebackers coach. April spent the last three seasons in the same position with the St. Louis Rams and previously coached in the NFL with the Saints (1996-99), Steelers (1994-95) and Falcons (1991-93). ‘

Ask Defensive End Aaron Schobel

‘Here’s your chance to ask Schobel a question!’

Coaching Staffs Try Not to Go Overboard

‘One of the most effective defensive game plans in championship contest history, the design with which the underdog New York Giants blunted the explosive Buffalo Bills attack for a one-point victory in Super Bowl XXV, was drawn up on the fly. Literally.’

ESPN | Jan 21, 2004

Bobby Shaw, Mike Mularkey Reunited

‘”He’s a really good coach that will really get guys going and hopefully we can get that chemistry and get as far as we can next year and it’ll be a tribute to a lot of people,” Shaw said. “I’m surprised that he’s had the success he’s had the past three years and not gotten a head coaching job. But he’s our coach now.”‘
