thats it????? are you kidding me?!?!?

[Demon]

Our $53mil for 5 years must have been bogus.

[jimbohastle51]

well if shanahan who has 2 rings (not 1 like cowher) gets 7 million then 7-8 should be it for cowher. there should be no excuse for money to be the reason that cowher doesnt sign now. ralph said he'll pay.... and now he knows the going rate :)

[BillsWin]

Cowher should sign here for $10 million after seeing Shanahan getting 7. Then they can race to see who wins a championship first...

[Nighthawk]

I think Shanahan will end up regretting doing this move. Snyder is a coach killer and career killer.

[ChristopherWalken]

Wow. I guess he thought taking on the Bills project really wasn't worth it.

[ChristopherWalken]

So Billick should come for like 2.5 a year, right?

[wozrob11]

He don t care about the money he care's about rebuilding a crappy bills team in a small market and playing the pats 2 times a year and cant get any worth wild free agents because nobody wants to come to buffalo thats why he s not in buffalo not the money part . wow, did i just write that ? sorry everyone its starting to get to me!!!

[Nighthawk]

Ok, let me lay this out for people one more time. It has nothing to do with the City of Buffalo..it has everything to do with the organization and how it is run. Stop with the "everybody hates us" crap and look at the organization...it's a joke and money is what needs to be thrown around to make it better.

[Ingtar33]

At the risk of quoting myself in a previous thread...


so we offer 10 mil plus a part of the franchise and snyder offers 7 mil and the headache of working for snyder (in other words a guaranteed firing within 3 years).

nice.

I would love to know how bad Brandon's pitch was.

[wozrob11]

i didnt mean the city i ment the bills sorry

Shefter said we didnt offer anything close to 10 mil a year.

[Nighthawk]

i didnt mean the city i ment the bills sorry

No biggie, I just wish this city would stop feeling sorry for itself and start doing something about it!

Unfortunately, I respectfully disagree. I can definitely see the area as being an issue. Sure, a lot of people love it in WNY, but it has to be your cup of tea. For most, it isn't.

[Nighthawk]

Yeah, I find it impossible to believe that we offered 10 million, when there are reports that if we offered the right deal to Cowher then he would take the job. It sounds like the Bills are blowing a bunch of smoke up the fans asses....just to appease them.

Well, you may think that, but there was even a reporter from Yahoo who stated this exact same thing today. I think people look way too much into that. Everyplace looks nice when your bank account has millions occupying it.

Obviously. That's why people need to calm down and stop believing all these media reports.

If this comes down to not getting Cowher because that old man won't pony up again then he'll never get another penny of my $.

[DynaPaul]

Screw Shanahan. He came here to play us off of Dan Snyder. It's going to be real tough for him in a division that includes the Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles.

don't forget the part ownership of the team too......


OF COURSE IT WAS BOGUS!!!!!!!!!!! The Old Fart would never shell out that kind of money.
