Two Bills Drive

Gilbride on RJ: “The thing that I know about Rob is that when we had in Jacksonville I thought he was a very talented player, a guy who loved the game, loved to prepare. He did all the things we asked him to do. I thought he had a very bright future ahead of him and I think he still does.”

Thank you for your caring, concern and all the prayers for Hunter. He is a bit better, but still in serious condition. We are all amazed at the continued strength of our little buddy, and he is surrounded by the love of his mommy, daddy, sisters, and grandparents – along with many other family members and friends.

Please continue your prayers for him, to pray for the families who have lost their children, for beautiful CJ’s life, and for all our children who are sick.

God Bless. Jill

‘The Bucs are a veteran team that could benefit from the wisdom and coaching style that took Levy to four consecutive Super Bowls and the Hall of Fame.’

‘"We’ve always considered ourselves a regional franchise, and we know that there are a lot of Bills fans in this part of the state. We think this would be a good way of bringing Bills football to this area."’

Donahoe, incidentally, was the one NFL executive who went out on a limb and said the Patriots were a dangerous team and picked them to win. If you ask me, it’s Donahoe’s Buffalo Bills who might be the most surprising team in the NFL in 2002. If not this fall, then certainly by 2003 will Donahoe and his old buddy Tom Modrak have that club turned into a contender.

‘The hiring is a crucial move for Williams and one that needs to work if he is going to survive as coach of the Bills.’

‘Kevin Gilbride’s most recent stop in the NFL was either a big failure or it laid the foundation for a lot of success this season.’

‘Though hospital personnel would not discuss specifics of his illness, it was learned that the boy, for whom the Hunter’s Hope Foundation was named, was admitted to the hospital earlier in the day suffering from collapsed lungs as a result of pneumonia.’

‘During his eight seasons as an offensive coordinator, Gilbride’s teams ranked in the top three in the NFL five times, including the Oilers’ number one ranking in 1990.’

‘The Bills have scheduled a news conference for Monday.’

‘If such a thing is possible, Tom Clements did not have a good weekend in Hawaii.’

‘”We’ve had an exhaustive search,” Bills coach Gregg Williams said. “The names that have gotten out are a fraction of the people we’ve talked to.”‘

‘Gilbride, a coach for 12 years in the NFL, was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator in 1999 and 2000.’

‘Possessing 12 years of experience as an NFL coach and coordinator, Gilbride takes over for Mike Sheppard, who served as offensive coordinator under Gilbride in San Diego from 1997-98.’

‘Their record didn’t look very good, but Gregg Williams established a long-term foundation that should pay dividends for the Bills down the road.’
