**Official Bills Coach Wish List** (NO COWHER TALK ALLOWED)

[Devin]

Ill prob just edit any posts mentioning Cowher into insulting jokes about you and/or your family. So dont make me abuse my power.

All kidding aside Cowher isnt an option. Anyone else have at it.


I nominate: Steve Spagnuolo, DC New York Giants

[Mitchell55]

Romeo Crenell or Herm Edwards. I like both.

[Devin]

Ew.

[Mitchell55]

Ew.




Edwards is a high motor coach that did good with the Jets and no one can do anything with KC.

[Mitchell55]

Im afraid to get rid of Dick Jauron. Look at this interview and look at Lynchs reaction to when Kelly mentions Dick.


Look at 1:39

[Devin]

Crennell Blows.

Edwards imo is at the very least simply a lateral move from Jauron.

[Ingtar33]

I nominate: Steve Spagnuolo, DC New York Giants

He's being paid 2+ mil a year. just got the raise too.

He's said repeatedly he doesn't think he's "ready" to be an nfl head coach.

I doubt he'll be available.

[Ingtar33]

Romeo Crenell or Herm Edwards. I like both.

you're joking right?


god i hope this is a joke.

[Devin]

I knew he got a new deal I didnt hear that quote. My bad.

[topher180]

A good debate for sure, but the fact you had to preface this thread with "NO COWHER TALK ALOUD" (or allowed, whichever) should tell you what kind of base we are dealing with here.

[Devin]

Wow talk about a brain fart, I got that word all wrong didnt I.

Anyway yeah Cowher imo is a pipe dream so I figured we'd try for people we have a chance at.

Doesnt matter im sure we will end up with the Vikings WR coach or something.

[Dujek]

Brian Billick. I'm half way through reading Next Man Up, and the guy knows what it takes to be a winner. He wouldn't be cheap, but I think you could end up paying more money and get a worse coach.

He's also not afraid to talk to the fans or press and seems quite prepared to give a straight answer and an honest opinion about the team's performance.

[Crisis]

i'm gonna be pissed when we hire someone like jim haslett

[Devin]

i'm gonna be pissed when we hire someone like jim haslett

Yeah I kind of already figure us going after a guy like that. Then youll get "well he coached great in that one game against that team on an odd day in an even year......he can turn it around!"

I swear if we end up with some nobody coordinator or some re-tread........AGAIN.....im gonna have a stroke.

No Ralph, hiring the RB coach from the Bengals is not gonna fix our offense or team. So don't.

[Luisito23]

Romeo Crenell or Herm Edwards. I like both.



:negrep:....Give me Billick.

[LtFinFan66]

Biran Billick is probably the only guy with SB experience that wouldnt cost an arm and a leg.

No Ralph, hiring the RB coach from the Bengals is not gonna fix our offense or team. So don't.

I will say this: I think Josh McDaniels is going to make a solid HC some day. He is young, prepared and has experience in the front office, coaching defense and coordinating on offense. He is a very good play-caller and is organized. He is a coaches son who seems to have a good relationship with his players.

McDaniels will be the most successful assistant Belichick had that has gone on to other things. I don't think he would go to the Bills, because he probably will want to go out of division after the Mangini fiasco. He will have options.

[patmoran2006]

my coach wish list is anybody but Dick Jauron or a current Bills coach getting promoted

[DraftBoy]

Aside from Spags who I think may also be a pipe dream sadly Id take;

Jim Schwartz-Tennessee DC

[Owen DeBoard]

Well its official Rod Marinelli just got fired maybe Ralph will give him a call. I wouldnt put it past him.:down:

[Nighthawk]

Romeo Crenell or Herm Edwards. I like both.

And this goes perfect with your threads...

[THATHURMANATOR]

I would love Bill Cowher.

[zone]

Cowher, Schottenheimer, Billick.

In that order.

[T-Long]

Who would you want?

[THATHURMANATOR]

Cowher, Schottenheimer, Billick.

In that order.
I would be happy with all three of those choices.

[billsfanone]

Romeo Crenell or Herm Edwards. I like both.

They are worse than Jauron. No thanks.

[THATHURMANATOR]

They are worse than Jauron. No thanks.
Seriously.

Turner Gill!

[THATHURMANATOR]

Turner Gill!
NO THANKS MAN.

[BuffaloBillsStampede]

Marty Ball!

[scartown]

Other than Cowher ofcourse these are my top four in order.
Steve Spagnuolo
Raheem Morris
Josh McDaniels
Jim Schwartz

BTW first post :D:

[T-Long]

My order goes:

1. Bill Cowher
2. Marty Schottenheimer
3. Josh McDaniels
4. Steve Spagnolo

[elltrain22]

Spags, Josh McDaniels, Billick, or Jim Schwartz. Any of those I'd be satisified with.

[Saratoga Slim]

I'll say this - if Jauron stays, Marinelli might make a nice new DC.

[DraftBoy]

I actually would have no issue bringing in Marinelli as the DC.

I also wouldnt mind bringing in Cameron as the HC. I think he got a raw deal in Miami and in Baltimore he is again proving why he is a genius offensive mind.

[DraftBoy]

Morris was already named the Bucs new DC.

[scartown]

Morris was already named the Bucs new DC.

I am aware of that. I suspect if he was offered an head coaching job he would consider taking it.

[User Manuel]

Romeo Crenell or Herm Edwards. I like both.


I just threw up in my mouth...

[User Manuel]

John Gruden if fired.

Brian Billick
Jason Garrett

[T-Long]

bump

[DraftBoy]

I am aware of that. I suspect if he was offered an head coaching job he would consider taking it.


What has Morris done though to deserve to jump to coordinator ranks and go straight to a HC?

I like the work he's done with Aqib Talib and Jermaine Phillips, but alot of the success of their DB's was predicated on Kiffin's Tampa 2 schemes.

[ddaryl]

Bill Cowher

and **** you

[justasportsfan]

Aside from Spags who I think may also be a pipe dream sadly Id take;

Jim Schwartz-Tennessee DC
the last Tennesse DC we hired ddn't do squat here. :ill:

[justasportsfan]

I also wouldnt mind bringing in Cameron as the HC. I think he got a raw deal in Miami and in Baltimore he is again proving why he is a genius offensive mind.

Would love Cam as the OC but not HC

[djjimkelly]

Josh McDaniels
Steve Spagnolo
Brian Billick
Jim Fassell
Rex Ryan
Marty Schottenheimer


anyone of these would do by me

[LtFinFan66]

I voted for Raheem.....since I don't know who the hell he is

[justasportsfan]

I'm kinda leaning towards an offensive minded coach . We haven't had a decent O since Kelly left.

I know we have the talent to run. I want a coach who knows when to run and when to mix things up. I want a potent O and get some excitment once again. No more conservative , play not to lose type of O.

[DraftBoy]

I voted for Raheem.....since I don't know who the hell he is

Tampa DB coach, just got named the new DC in place of Kiffin who is leaving for UT.

[scartown]

I like the work he's done with Aqib Talib and Jermaine Phillips, but alot of the success of their DB's was predicated on Kiffin's Tampa 2 schemes.

I beleive he's just a natural leader. He has worked under Kiffin and Tomlin in Tampa where the D has been ranked in the top 10 for how many years now. Kiffins tampa 2 scheme is a big part of that ofcourse however he has done a great job of coaching it to his players.

I agree with you that it would be nice if he had more experience being a coordinator in the NFL before he makes the jump to HC but I beleive he's going be a very succesful HC when he gets a job.

[RockStar36]

Marty is the only acceptable choice on that llist in my eyes.

[LtFinFan66]

Thanks DB

[RockStar36]

Actually now that I look again, Billick would be an acceptable choice as well.

[X-Era]

Actually now that I look again, Billick would be an acceptable choice as well.

Shotty is better despite the lack of a ring (which is suprisingly not an issue to many fans)... But Billick would be cheaper, is younger, and actually has a ring.

[X-Era]

Billick- less money, has a SB ring, is young, and is a motivator, will command player respect

Shotty- no ring, older, will want more money

Cowher- will want a ton of money, but has a ring, younger, and is a motivator

Newbies- cheaper, mostly younger, no experience, cannot command respect day one from the players

[VeggieMan14]

I have no idea of his contract info or anything but the guyI really like is Tennessees OC Norm Chow and I am pretty sure I read somewhere that he has said he wants a HC job

[Michael82]

Marty is my #1 choice!

[scartown]

I have no idea of his contract info or anything but the guyI really like is Tennessees OC Norm Chow and I am pretty sure I read somewhere that he has said he wants a HC job

Norm Chows' the OC at UCLA. He was fired last year by the Titans.

[madness]

Billick might be a good choice. We already have his powerful offense installed.

[justasportsfan]

Billick might be a good choice. We already have his powerful offense installed. :snicker:

[Lone Stranger]

Gregg Williams or Mike Malarkey....young co-ordinators with great reputations.

[soapman]

I don't know who Raheem is but with a name like that, he has my vote...

[TheBrownBear]

Shottenheimer
Fassel
Denny Green

[justasportsfan]

Denny Green


Add him with Herm and Crennel and you have you dream team coaching staff :puke:

[Michael82]

Gregg Williams or Mike Malarkey....young co-ordinators with great reputations.
:rofl: Gregg Williams was already fired as DC from the Jaguars. He's not even a good coordinator anymore. And don't get me started on Mike Mularkey. :puke:

[Mr. Pink]

Kirk Ferentz!

just figured I'd throw another name out there.

He was a highly sought coordinator a few years back and off the Belichick tree.

Don't know if he'd leave the college game though.

[DraftBoy]

Devin I see plenty of Cowher mentions, don't dissapoint me!

[BillsWin]

Ill prob just edit any posts mentioning Cowher into insulting jokes about you and/or your family. So dont make me abuse my power.

I nominate: Steve Spagnuolo, DC New York Giants

why is Cowher not an option? didnt know he signed somewhere else.


Brian Billick or Steve Spagnuolo.

[Ingtar33]

Cowher, Schottenheimer, Billick.

In that order.


i'd be happy with that as well.

[VeggieMan14]

Eric Mangini?

[X-Era]

Eric Mangini?

NO fuggin way.

He reminds me of the fat kid that brought the kick ball so that we'd let him play.

[Mitchell55]

Bobby april

[BillsWin]

NO fuggin way.

He reminds me of the fat kid that brought the kick ball so that we'd let him play.

or the same fat kid who has that field in his backyard so we let him play football with us, just so we can use said field.

[X-Era]

Billick might be a good choice. We already have his powerful offense installed.

Any of you Holcomb type QB fans would love him, he won it all with Dilfer.

[patmoran2006]

Bobby april a choice?
Aint who I want, but what I think will happen.

[bigbub2352]

Billick won the whole thing he knows what it takes

[DieHrdBillsFan23]

How bout Rob Ryan, DC Baltimore Ravens

[X-Era]

How bout Rob Ryan, DC Baltimore Ravens

No, no newbies guys... seriously, Im not wavering in my opinion. We tried it, it failed horribly here.

[DieHrdBillsFan23]

I would be happy with Brian Billick, but i wanted to throw a name out there that hasnt been said already. His D has always been ranked right near the top.

[MarvLevy]

Id take Billick in a heart beat...although his Offenses were very BLAND!!!

[ILOVEMIBILLS]

Jim Johnson. Not sure if he is interested in being a HC, but would be an interesting choice.

Russ Grimm. Comes from the Cowher tree and would be able to get our o-line into form. Would also give this team an identity as a power running team.

[ILOVEMIBILLS]

No, no newbies guys... seriously, Im not wavering in my opinion. We tried it, it failed horribly here.

Yes, because as we saw with Miami, Atlanta, and Baltimore this year, that never works.

Miami had Parcells and the rest dont play in a division with the Pats.

[DraftBoy]

Miami had Parcells and the rest dont play in a division with the Pats.

NFC South and AFC North were two extremely tough conferences this year. NFC South was a hell of a lot harder then the AFC East this season.

[PECKERWOOD]

Mangini
Billick
McDaniels


Those are my top 3, Mangini would be the best hire, IMO. He is still young, he did pretty good in NY with what he had. He knows alot about our divisional rivals, plus he has spent time in the division, he knows how the AFCE works.. Mangini all the way. If you want to go with a 1st timer McDaniels would be an excellent choice as well because we would be stealing him from the Patriots and plus he has done well with New England this year. Overall, I like Mangini the best, Billick 2nd, and McDaniels lastly. One more thing about Mangini! You know deep down inside he wants to stick it to the Patriots and Jets really hard and that hatred and meaness towards divisional rivals is exactly what we need right now. 0-6 in the division is UNACCEPTABLE, that's beyond mediocrity and in the ranks of futility. Mangini learned at the Jets expense, he is a coach that could be here for the next decade if everything works out. I'm officially on the Mangini bandwagon.


Plus, BRING IN SOMEBODY WHO WILL RUN THE 3-4 PLEASE. I'M SO FUGGIN SICK OF THIS COVER 2 GARBAGE. 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4 3-4

[X-Era]

Your right, a newbie is all we need.

Did Ralph send you some Hi C?

[Romes]

Has anyone mentioned Mariucci, yet?

Any thoughts on that?

[Dujek]

Has anyone mentioned Mariucci, yet?

Any thoughts on that?

I'd love him as OC, and if he could reproduce what he achieved with the 49ers as a HC then I'd take him in a heartbeat, but there's that stink of Lion about him...

[DraftBoy]

Obviously a re-tread is the answer since DJ did so well the last three years....hold on...wait a second!

[Devin]

Doh!
