New Assistant Coach?

[scott51]

I am not saying this is true or stating a fact. I was talking to my brother-in-law and he heard that Marv Levy has shown interest in bringing Jim Kelly in as a QB's coach or maybe even OC. I think this might be a good move, wondered what others would think and if anyone else has heard this rumor.

** Not sure where he heard this.

where did he hear this rumor?

Outstanding....Idea....

I would feel great to let him decide who to start as well.

While we are at is T Thomas for RB coach and A Read for WR coach.

Hot dam!

there are only so many gimmicky things the FO can do to inspire the 90's teams. Jim Kelly is an untouchable. but if he comes into the coaching staff as an OC and is as bad as what we have, he's going to get some immediate lashback.

Jim Kelly has not been coaching on any level since retirment. i think it's a terrible idea despite his knowledge on how to pick defenses apart. the game has changed. has he? i don't know. but on the face of it, i'd hate to see Jimbo get sucked into this sinking ship.

Jimbo in the past has been content to be the poster boy. He has said that he is not willing to put in the 60-80 hours or more coaches do each week during the season (sounds like some posters but except not being paid). It is really easy to criticize coaches after the fact and Jimbo knows it; it is not like he had not done some bone-headed things after the fact said I should not have done that.

[Night Train]

AVP is already on the payroll as an assistant and knows the old Ted Marchibroda offense inside & out.

Kelly has said many times he doesn't have the time to coach. He'd be calling old friend AVP on the phone quite often anyhow with suggestions, I'm sure.

[Gunzlingr]

Has this been confirmed with the Bills' chef?

[casdhf]

Jim would make an aweful coach.

Now, owner has a nice ring to it.

lol i have to joke whats is the chef cooking

[DynaPaul]

I don't think this rumor has much weight to it. Jim has always shunned coaching and is more liking the analyst, public figure, and charity thing he's done in the past.

He looked happy on the sideline monday night, until the clock guy got confused.

Not sure if OC would be a great move but QBs coach for sure!!!

[Jan Reimers]

Oh, I thought you meant a guy for game/clock management, or a brain surgeon to transplant one into Jauron.

[YardRat]

Kelly doesn't want to coach, and he's been pretty adamant about it. He re-inforced the point on a local radio station just a couple of weeks ago.

[DraftBoy]

How about brining in James Lofton who has been a successful assistant in the NFL and a former Bill, I think he works either with the Chargers or Raiders.

[JD]

He doesnt HAVE to coach, why not just be on the sidelines for Edwards.

[TigerJ]

While I like Kelly's philosophical approach to the game, I don't think he's paid much attention to Xs and Os over the past 15 years. Moreover I've seen nothing to indicate a change in his attitude toward coaching. In short, it would take a whole lot more than a rumor to really get me thinking about that.

[Tatonka]

whats kelly going to do as a coach? tell the qb to call the plays?
