I don't have the time or energy for a long post here, so I will make this real short.
It's fun and exciting to envision and talk about qualified GM's and Offensive coordinators coming to Buffalo. But let's get two FACTS on the table now, to save yourself the energy of writing, and the dissapointment of the pending reality.
FANTASY: There are good qualified GMs out there. A proven GM who can put a team together or the next bright young mind could push this team over the top and through the dreadfully long period of mediocrity.
FACT: The next Bills GM already has an office at OBD. It's either going to be Brandon or Overdorf; with Guy having a smaller shot. In fact, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we dont have an 'official' GM at all next year, and the "GM" duties are split among these three or more. If by some MIRACLE we go outside the organization, it will be at bargain basement prices and it will be someone who already has a strong tie to Dick Jauron.
FANTASY: THis team needs an innovative offensive coordinator. Guys who have had good success before like Mike Martz and Cam Cameron will be available. Other quality young guys ready to take the next step will be out there.
FACT: Turk is likely our next OC. He's familar with Wilson and Jauron. He'll come a hell of a lot cheaper. Forget Martz or Cameron or guys like that. It will be somebody getting a promotion, almost surely within our own organization.
Does it suck? Yes, I think it does. But I'm used to it, and you should be to by now. IT's the Ralph Wilson way. I say this without malace towards Wilson, but if I'm keeping it real, oh well. "the only way the Bills can ever become a legit Super Bowl contender in this day and age again is if Wilson sells the team, passes on and a new owner keeps the team here." That's it.
