I think Holmgren is VERY likely. He coached in Green Bay and Seattle where the fans are very into it especially Green Bay. He recently stated that if he were to return to coaching he'd prefer the east coast because he's never coached there and the guy isn't one to turn down a team just because of the city. He's very passionate and regardless of whether or not he's a good GM he's got connections all over the league from his days in Green Bay where he can bring guys in who can easily turn this team around.

Charlie Casserly (not a huge fan)

Outside of that? No idea.

And then the list of old HC's with success that might become a GM a.l.a. Parcells.

Could we pry Polian away somehow?

Accorsi? I really don't know...I'm sure this will be a proven guy...

I might seem close minded, I'm not.

I just want a guy or guys with a pedigree (SB ring).

Still the Giants GM?

na, he stepped down a few years back and Jerry Reese is their GM, the Browns are supposedly looking into him, but Holmgren is number one on their list

Sadly I think that bridge burned to the ground

Re: Football Operations names

NFL network is saying that there is no way in hell that any proven HC comes in to this mess. They think that it will be someone that has been on the cusp b/w coordinator and HC the last few years.

With that said, they did say that they believe that this allows the bills to contact those coaches (Cowher, Shanny, etc.) to see if there is any interest or what it would take and it also gives us a chance to do a much more thorough analysis of of ther potential candidates.

All up in the air at this point!

Stick with Vic, not the tools at the desk on NFLN (do love Eisen though).

You've got to understand that they are looking at it from the outside and Ralph's history. I think Ralph doesn't want an unproven guy in here, he wants somebody who knows how to win and the fans will be happy about...

Exactly...I've never and I mean NEVER heard Vic state that he thinks Ralph will spend money on a HC. This is a change and in my mind, is a sure sign that this is what will happen. Vic has connections and I believe him over the national media guys.

Re: Football Operations names

Marc Ross, our old Blesto Nat'l Scout. Here's a vid of him http://www.giants.com/player/ivideo-..._papa_ross.flv
Chris Polian, though he is the heir apparent to the Colts.
Eric DeCosta / Vincent Newsome, Ravens
James "Shack" Harris, Lions. Former Bill and a solid Gm that took the fall for Del Rio.

That list doesn't exactly instill a new pedigree of winning in Buff.
