Forked Thread: If DJ goes, does anyone else really stand out?

Forked from: If DJ goes, who do you want?

I dont like the 3-4 with Ryan. I got no issue with Brian but what has he done to stand apart from others.

That's precisely the problem. Other than Cowher, does any potential replacement really stand out?

There's an old cliche that goes something like "the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't."

I've made my dislike of Jauron clear from the moment he was hired, and at this point it's pretty easy to see why some of us were so concerned about him. But is there really any point to firing him only to hire someone else who's just as mediocre?

I bet Cowher could get 10 or 11 wins out of this roster, and I bet in a few years he could build a real winner. But there is no way in hell he'd ever coach here, and I don't see anyone else out there as being a huge upgrade. This really feels like the old Bart Simpson paradox- damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I've always been a fan of Marty Ball!

And there are three assistants who would be acceptable to me if we went that route, even if DB doesn't like one of them.

Well if DB doesnt like it that means the Bills will probably do it. But my track record is better than theirs in recent history so what does that tell you?

Both of those would be an upgrade over Jauron and both are at least reasonable possibilities, but would they really have the impact that Cowher would? Would they really turn this team into a proven winner?

You talk as if Cowher is some miracle worker who could right this ship with a snap of his fingers. Cowher went a long time in Pittsburgh with no results, he was almost fired a couple of times.

somewhere, there's an 11-year-old with a Magic 8-ball who has a better track record than the Bills in recent history.

do you honestly think we would have lost the Cleveland and SF games if Cowher was coach? We're 9 points from being 8-4 and in the thick of the division hunt. It doesn't take a miracle to fix that- just competence.

Marty definitely will...I mean even if we were to lose in the playoffs, at least we will finanlly have some kind of hope, and at least we will have fun watching them play for a change. He's a great coach, and he would get the best out of all the players here believe it! Marty ball all the way!!!

I'd consider buying Bills merchandise if they can land Cowher.

Re: Forked Thread: If DJ goes, does anyone else really stand out?

I'd be ok with Marty ball.

With the way Trent was executing the plays that were called? Yes, I do.

The issue is just the coach we need better talent and that starts at the top with a new GM.

In 15 seasons Cowher finished below .500 3 times and at .500 1 time. Those are 11 times were winning seasons.

He won 9 division titles in those 15 years and finished 59 games over .500 for his career.

Yes, he is that good.
