[patmoran2006]

Buddy Nix is NOT MESSING around, wait til you hear some of these reports surface today

[trapezeus]

is this a good thing or a bad thing pat? is he bringing in cowher, or is he not going to get pushed around with a slow decider in cowher.

If you must break our hearts, please do so gently.

[sqad5]

Please expand... is there more besides firing EVERYONE on coaching staff? Or will there be today?

[don137]

I can hardly wait.
I am guessing two things gone will be a new strength and conditioning coach position will open up and Modrak is gone. Modrak leaving would make a statement.
Thanks Pat for always providing us the info.

[clumping platelets]

:dizzy:

[Novacane]

at least give us a hint

[DesertFox24]

Pat,

Any heads up for us, or tidbits you can share NOW.

I can not wait for the new decade baby, hopefully Nix gets this thing turned around.

I do not think a Miami situation like last year is in the works but 2011 season (if one happens) could be the time for us to get back to relevance.

[SabreEleven]

It's pretty bad that the most exciting day of the season is the day AFTER the season ended...:ill:

[M]

OK, work is officially done for me today. Can't work and refresh the 'zone every 5 minutes.

[NorthCarBills]

LOL same here

[Novacane]

lol. more like every 5 seconds

[Beastie Bills]

I hate to make a point to remind you all that I'm friends with "Juice" (who's banned for a month)...but this is a lame thread.

Either give info or don't post. Of course crazy stuff is going to happen today, its Black Monday and our team was horrible. That's why there is like 300 of us online!

[BillsWin]

Good grief! Nix works fast.

I like it.

Good attitude.

No it was not a given crazy stuff was going to happen today. This is not typical Bills.

[trapezeus]

seriously, by bills standards the last 10 years. they do nothing. It's just a bunch of boring interviews with players who suck and say the same things. "we want to win for this town, but for some reason stuff didn't work out." and then jauron or mularkey give some comments on Tuesday Wednesday. Then the following week we hear some slow leaks about DC's and OC's from playoff teams that we might look at.

We have to wait for those teams to lose. but inevitably we have one coach from the SUperbowl teams that we want to interview which means we lose the other possible coaches, we realize we don't want the Superbowl team OC or DC as coach and then pick up a retread.

They are forced to keep a handful of leftovers.

This is very different and if pat is saying there is potentially more news, i'd be excited to hear cowher signing today.

plus this is a fan board during one of the crappiest seasons. If only for the fun of drumming up cowher excitement, this was the best day over the last 16 weeks here and absolutely nothing has happened.

[DMBcrew36]

:yawn:

[DMBcrew36]

About as exciting as me having to go to the dentist this afternoon...

[jlruss90]

thanks for building the suspense

[BillsWin]

Get us worked up and then leave us huh Pat?

[billsburgh]

you cant start a thread like this and leave us hanging. not very nice.

[Yasgur's Farm]

:hang: Feel like we're all pulling a David Carradine

[Slim]

bump

[justasportsfan]

please don't start threads like this or it should be moved to spam.

[Luisito23]

Since I never take this guy serious anyways I could care less about this thread.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Since I never take this guy serious anyways I could care less about this thread.
You did post in it though

[bumblin]

this is a bigger tease than that time I touched hands with the cashier at sobey's

[Luisito23]

You did post in it though


I post it that because I hope that people follow my logic.

[clumping platelets]

:tap:

[chernobylwraiths]

how much?

[WeAreArthurMoates]

Im a waiting for this crazy ****. The firing of the entire coaching staff is a wonderfull start.

[Canadian'eh!]

Pat Moran = **** tease.

I'm guessing firing the entire staff is most or all of it.

I'm stunned Bobby April got canned. He did a fine job, seems like a mistake to me, unless they have someone lined up who wants their own guy.

[Luisito23]

how much?


Lesser than less....Now please no more questions, pictures, or autographs!...:hand:

[djjimkelly]

Good grief! Nix works fast.

I like it.

Good attitude.


nix is a true football man through and through im actually excited

[patmoran2006]

I apologize, let me elaborate a little.

What I meant initially was that he fired the entire coaching staff before noon on Monday.

But to expand a little more, there are other names starting to emerge, such as Frazier (that you've now heard about it)

And I know what Adam Schefter said, and I know he has an impeccable repuation, but I do not buy that Cowher is done. I do know the BIlls are legimiately interested in him, not just hearsay, and from at least the person I spoke too, Cowher has NOT told the Bills that he would not be returning to coaching this season.

Now that doesnt mean Cowher isnt returning or didnt say that, it means that if so, he hasn't told the Buffalo Bills that.

And I think John Guy is going to get the boot, but POSSIBLY, Tom Modrak stays

[Demon]

I think Pat is just speculating because today, and probably most of the week will be crazy with news stories coming out.... aka he's telling us something that is obvious. Anyone who expected today or this week to be quiet isn't a Bills fan.

[patmoran2006]

OH, and one other thing.

Perry Fewell was furious with Marshawn Lynch at halftime for a lack of effort on the Bills third drive Sunday, a player told me.

Its why he didnt see a carry the rest of the game, and why McIntyre was running the ball at the end.. Lynch, except for a play where Jackson got the ball anyway, was benched.

[patmoran2006]

I am completely stunned that April got fired.

Good stuff Pat, keep it coming as you get it! :up:

I think Cowher will deny anything and everything until things are 'said and done' and his future has been decided. He's just being professional by denying everything. For Schefter or anyone else to say he isn't going to coach - they're probably just basing it on the fact that Cowher won't admit to anything, and won't say he wants to coach or is interested in anything. Cowher isn't going to burn any bridges, leaving Shefter and others to speculate based on their own feelings and opinions.

[bumblin]

this is a bigger disappointment than when I found out the cashier was 13

[Yasgur's Farm]

Good stuff Pat, keep it coming as you get it! :up:Worth repeating... I agree.

[Beastie Bills]

I don't blame Modrak. We've still had SOME good picks. I don't want to underestimate how bad Jauron was and how much say he had.

Other than Maybin the draft this year was great.

If we can't get rid of both, at least Guy is gone.

[Wolffman]

I am completely stunned that April got fired.

I'm glad. His special teams this season have been dismal, costing us more than 1 win.

[justasportsfan]

To those who blame April, who are your options? Danny Smith? :puke:

[patmoran2006]

I'm glad. His special teams this season have been dismal, costing us more than 1 win.

You cant blame him for two physical bonehead plays.

Then again, maybe you're right, you can.. Especially McKelvin. He should've been instructed to NOT take the ball out of the end zone.

[bigbub2352]

i just think a fresh start and new philosphies will help more than anything with a new regime,
i for one like that all coaches are gone everyone at OBD has been a little to safe the last 4-5yrs

[homeslice5484]

Chris Brown reported earlier that April would not want to come back after being passed over for Fewell.

[Nighthawk]

With all the news today...it is not making me any happier with the Nix hire. If Modrak stays, then it better be because Cowher accepted the HC job and wanted Modrak to stay. Other then that...it just shows that Nix was "the football man" put in the GM position to appease the fan base.

[Slim]

Rumor update?

[dannyek71]

Or atleast hit the ground as soon as a defender got close to him

[BILLSROCK1212]

more to come later tonight??

[jamze132]

Well whoever the new coach is can always attempt to rehire April for those of you that are super pissed that he got canned along with the rest of the staff.

[YardRat]

Carrucci reported the day after Fewell was elevated that April was pissed.

I appreciate the time and effort that others put into keeping the boards informed, but please no more hook threads.

[MikeInRoch]

I hate to make a point to remind you all that I'm friends with "Juice" (who's banned for a month)...but this is a lame thread.

I'm curious why you would admit to that...

[Demon]

more to come later tonight??

Our GM is 70. He goes to bed early so i think we're almost as good as done for the day.

[Buddo]

We've had quite a few tidbits over the last little while that have told us that Modrak hasn't actually had much say in who was picked. If he stays, then you would have to think that is true. It also means that the 'misses' haven't been his explicit fault.
If anyone is in a position to know how well Modrak does his job, it is Nix, after all it's part of what he's been doing for his entire NFL career. If Nix wants to keep Modrak, I'm prepared to believe it's the right move.
