Hoss Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have an absolutely horrible feeling about the Bills head coaching search. Every candidate they've added recently gives me nothing but bad feelings (Shanahan, Jackson, Shurmur, Shanahan, Roman). I feel like Brandon and the Pegulas are getting way too involved in this. None of them know ###### about football. If you're going to let Whaley lead then do it, but I don't get a feeling that he would have remote interest in Shanahan. He also may be trying to please the Pegulas because he knows he's on thin ice with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Not since joining the ACC. This entire thing is pointless. Marrone is crap. If he goes back to college he will still be crap. Now I know what the guys at the VFW think when they open the lent fish fry to the public.......

Eleven Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Which school brings 100,000 fans each week, has national championships, and would get a coach 3x the money compared to the other? Boisie St. or Tennessee? Which school was actually ranked in the Top 25 this year? You follow? Should I give another two dozen examples? Ok, leaving aside the absurdity of having 60 top-25 teams, you're talking about prestige/history/similar and not this year's AP ranking, right? So teams like Tennessee, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Texas, etc. but not Mississippi, Arizona State, or Minnesota. Got it. Still not going to happen. Those teams already have their coaches, too.

The Blue Jackets and Coyotes have made the playoffs more than the Leafs the past few years....but you can be sure as heck 99/100 would rather take the Leafs job. I'm saying Marrone isn't going to end up at UB or Eastern Michigan..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this may be the minority opinion but you don't have to know anything about football to hire a great football coach. You are hiring a senior VP/ management person. I don't want TP, KP or RB making personnel or game day decisions but I have no problem with them being involved in the hiring process. The key is after they hire them, let them and the rest of the football department do their job. Insist on being kept in the loop and apprised of what is going on but let them do what they were hired to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Vic Carucci says in an article that Whaley is speaking glowingly about Manuel in coaching interviews. I hope to all that is real that he is at least giving some leeway there and not forcing Manuel on the new guy. If so, hello Pat Shurmur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to all that is real that he is at least giving some leeway there and not forcing Manuel on the new guy. If so, hello Pat Shurmur. If Whaley wants coaches to try to fix Manuel he needs to be fired as well. That's an unfair burden on a new coach. Any coach that is hired should have the option of not giving a rats ass about EJ Manuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calti Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 you cant teach a qb to throw accurately....plus that ej has mediocre football instincts. if whaley is still a believer the bills need to dump him yesterday.At this point I don't blame Marrone at all for fleeing this clown old guard loser bills mgmt. something needs to be done or we will be having the same discussion 1 yr from now just as we have had since st ralph told bum who to play at qb. Only little Danny is worse IF Tpegs gives Whaley control. bum?? meant bum's son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I want to know what Jim Schwartz thinks of Doug Marrone. Given what Freddy said, I want to know what Hackett thinks. I'm starting to doubt myself on Hackett being the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
