    Does the Southern Drawl induce confidence....

    I am scared to death, "promoting" Nix and Brandon?:op:

    He really hasn't said anything wrong yet IMO.

      He left San Diego because the organization was divided between Schottenheimer and AJ Smith and sided with Schotty.

      There are a lot of concerns here but his accent and why he left San Diego are not on my list.

              So the southern accent erases a 16 year resume that is actually somewhat impressive, a good football background and a desire to win football games?

                No it doesn't, it just doesn't induce confidence IMO.

                  He said "fixin to", that is not how men in a position of power should speak.

                    The last guy on the Bills with a southern drawl that I remember was Dwight Adams. As I recall, we were pretty good back then. Southern boys KNOW football.

                    If you're stupid enough to let a drawl bother you then you're a bigger idiot than a lot of the "hicks" you seem to detest.

                    But by all means, keep slamming the "hicks" and their way of speech. It just confirms who the stupid people really are.

                      Tell me you were also one of those people who said "wow, he sounds great" after Fewell's first presser that one night. Look how that turned out.

                        Listen to the words coming out of his mouth and not the accent in which they were spoken.

                        He seems plenty qualified to me.

                        Plus, southerners know their football. Covering the big 12 and living down south for the better part of this decade has shown me that.

                          If anything, it's preferable.

                            I did listen, he said "fixin to".

                            I am in no way saying Nix can't or won't do a good job. All I am saying is that he does not instill confidence in me. I can't believe how supportive most of you are that we just kept our organization status quo. This team needed a new attitude, a football man at the very top ala Parcells that could oversee a winning football culture.

                              Nice response. I was born in upstate NY ... we moved to NC in 1978, and my family and i are still die hard Bills fans. We respect the south and when we return to Buffalo we give the same respect. I get sick of the "hick" sterotyping, especially from the Jersey and Long Island trash moving here in droves.
