Why not Billick?

[homeslice5484]

Why not find the best football GM we can find..and hire Billick as the head coach?

Give him the best talent to work with by having a revamped football department.

Id love Shanahan...but if he does not want to come here, I would not have a problem with Billick along with a good football GM.

Re: Why not Billick?

billick was an offensive coach who couldn't create an offense. no thanks. if he didn't stumble ass backwards into that superbowl win, he'd be a nobody.

Re: Why not Billick?

The problem I see is that these guys are seeing who Buffalo is bringing in and may get turned off that they are like 5th or 6th on the want list. Anyone else agree?

Re: Why not Billick?

Graham says the team's lack of an established quarterback may also scare off other Super-Bowl winning coaches like Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden and Mike Holmgren. Graham believes the more likely coaching options are former Bills player and former Saints coach Jim Haslett, former Giants coach Jim Fassel, and former Ravens coach Brian Billick.

Re: Why not Billick?

I don't know much about him, thats why I asked. I think if we dont get Shanahan then we for sure need a GM and HC to be separate positions with the GM having a lot of experience and a good reputation who then hires the best offensive minded assistant in the NFL to be the head coach.

Re: Why not Billick?

I'd rather have Haslett than Billick, and that's saying a lot.

Billick is a pompous ass... the reason he's not coaching the Ravens right now is because he could never find a QB and create an offense... sound familiar?

Re: Why not Billick?

The only thing he ever did right was hire Marvin Lewis as DC (who had Del Rio, Nolan, and Ryan all coach under him and eventually succeed him). That defense won that team a super bowl and kept them as a contender. The offense was often downright pathetic under Billick. And his gameday management is similar to the same crap we've been subjected to as Bills fans for the past decade.

When he was the Off Coord at Minny when they went 15-1 ..He has Moss and Carter..Robert Smith and Cunningham...

Alot different than Trent Dilfer and Kyle Boller...

The next guy will have to be a leader .. I think Billick fills that void....among others ...

Moss, Carter, Smith and Cunningham don't play for the Bills either...

He was in Baltimore for 8 years and couldn't put and offense together... it took Harbaugh 1 year....

Billick sucks ...

Re: Why not Billick?

Ive said for a long time that Billick is a viable candidate for the Buffalo job. Cheap and experienced. However I am hearing rumors that the Bills and Shanahan will meet tomorrow, so I am hoping something happens there.

Re: Why not Billick?

i honestly think i would rather hire someone unproven instead of billick.

Any "great" GM would want a "yes man" as coach. Someone who listens and does whatever the GM says and has limited options on player personnel. That's why Donahoe only hired cord. as his head coaches. Billick will most likely want a big say in player moves.
