Weis was the Bills' choice over Mularkey

[Jeff1220]

Some of you probably already heard this, but I haven't (so some of you might not have either). It's pretty much ancient history at this point, but on America's Game:2003 Patriots, Charlie Weiss said he was informed by the Bills that he was their #1 choice for HC. They said that if they lost that first playoff game, then he'd be hired that Monday. As we know, the Pats kept winning and the Bills went ahead and hired Mularkey. Weiss actually sounded like he really wanted it and sounded a bit bitter about the rule that prevented his being hired. Just figured I'd share. It's getting late and I'm watching some NFLN.

Who would you guys rather have: Jauron or Weiss?

What has Weiss done with Notre Dame so far? I'll stick with what we got. Jauron and his staff have impressed me for now.

Weiss under Donahoe would have had the same results as Mullarkey. While Mullarkey was a meathead, Donahoe set the tone with bad team philosophy. We had the wrong players...talented but individualistic. Plus Donahoe was into names, not players. Levy's effect on the Bills is subtle yet profound. He creates an positive atmosphere and develops a high-charecter team identity. We may not win a Super Bowl but we will be a a very good team.

Re: Weiss was the Bills' choice over Mularkey

Jauron's a fine head coach who's assembled a good, stable staff. Charlie Weis is simply overhyped. Tom Brady has looked pretty damn good without him the last two years. If you'd have asked me a couple years ago, I'd have taken Weis over Jauron in a heartbeat; now, though, I'm content with DJ.

Little hard to blame weiss for what he has done at notre dame...its hard to jug him againist a usc florida or other power house...its much harder to get athletes to come to ND just bc of the grade factor. You actually have to be kinda smart to go there unlike The "U" and other schools

Wait until he gets all his recruits at ND.

Re: Weiss was the Bills' choice over Mularkey

Brady (Tom and Quinn) were made by Weis. But Weis was a great gameplanner and play-caller. I don't see the Pats winning the SB again without either he or Crennel, much in the same way Parcells never made/won the SB without Belichick.

Re: Weiss was the Bills' choice over Mularkey

It certainly would've been nice. It wouldn't have helped a thing as long as Donahoe was here, but Losman may've been better off and we might be farther along if Weiss worked out(which seems a much more likely proposition than Mularkey working out.)

Unfortunately, we got Mularkey, and he was a complete moron. And now, we have Jauron, who definitely seems to have a clue, and we seem to be heading in the right direction. So, I'm happy with Jauron. We only got Weiss in an alternate time-line. Perhaps Donahoe's a good GM in that time-line, or the Pats aren't as good...

Re: Weiss was the Bills' choice over Mularkey

The idea that we could have had Weiss over Mularkey makes me sick.

However, there is a good chance that TD sabotaged this because there was no way that he was going to make Weiss into the puppet than TD coveted.
