These are factors any so called big name Coach will be wondering if the Bills contact him.
It's not as simple as Ralph coming to his senses and throwing $$ at a big name coach. This will be a mutual interview and the candidate will also want lots answered before agreeing to a deal, such as..
1. Dealing with an expected uncapped year, coming soon.
2. The small market Bills in regular times, were well under the cap. Will the next coach have to run everything by Wilson or numbers cruncher Jeff Littman ?
3. Will he be allowed to extend good talent and seek more in Free Agency ?
4. The long term viability of the franchise itself. Will the Bills remain in WNY or be sold within a year of Ralph's passing ? What's the post Ralph plan ?
5. How much control will he actually have ? Will Ralph continue to meddle or have Smithers..er..Brandon..do it for him ?
I like the firing of Jauron and getting a jump on other teams, since this season is shot but I'm not cheering until I see who we actually hire. I have hopes like everyone but I won't react to every report, only to see some C level candidate hired in the end.
Let's let it play out and hope for the best..but understand the parameters for an actual agreement with a well known coach are many...and not just about published contract $$.
