Per Scheft, Fox unwilling to come to Buffalo

[patmoran2006]

Washington didn't provide it, Cleveland never opened, Buffalo still is searching for a new head coach and Fox appears unwilling to go there, and Seattle is destined to hire Pete Carroll.

Thanks again Ralph Wilson! If we can't get Cowher, you better offer a bunch of money to Billick. At least he WANTS to be here.

Schefter is full of it...I'm sure the Bills haven't even approached him with an offer to discuss the position. Schefter is quickly becoming an arrogant *****...and that's too bad because when he was at NFL Network, he was one of my favorite reporters.

Why would he be willing to go to cleveland if it has an opening and not buffalo, if you ask me top to bottom buffalo has more young talent to work with a good running back future pro bowl safety and futur shutdown corner!! Am i missing something?

Re: Per Scheft, Fox unwilling to come to Buffalo

I was just about to post this. Makes me wonder if there are shenanigans going on behind the scenes. It says this Fox info came about last month. So Cowher has known this all along. Maybe he or someone tried to get Fox to go to Buffalo "hey, they have an opening and are hell bent on getting a good coach" and Fox said "no way" like everyone else with any credibility has.

Looks to me like Cowher is a real long shot at this point. He probably got his deal structured with the Bills as a contingency plan in case the Carolina job (or anything else) falls through.

Maybe Fox knows we already locked up Cowher

Anybody who thinks that Ralph's CHEAPNESS is not a HUGE factor in people not coming here are absolutely dillusional. Ralph IS THE REASON that we can't get anybody to come here and his hiring of Nix just added difficulty to the hiring process. Nix is a puppet for Ralph and it is slowly coming out that many in the NFL feel the same

of course he doesn't. the Bills HC job is the 2nd most unwanted HC job in the league behind only Oakland.

Oakland has to beg unqualified teenage coordinators and decade long retired coaches to coach there.

we're not quite that bad but it seems pretty clear we're not a job any high profile coach wants.

I was thinking the same thing...

Re: Per Scheft, Fox unwilling to come to Buffalo

So apparently Schefter has a source that can confirm that the Bills requested and were granted permission to talk to or about Fox? Otherwise it would be tampering.

Re: Per Scheft, Fox unwilling to come to Buffalo

According to Schaeffter, nobody wants to come to Buffalo, and every coach, ast. coach, player, and fan does not want to come to Buffalo. What a little terd.

Yea i agree with you too. It seems that everytime a rumor goes out that we are looking at a big name coach such as Billick or Cowher, Scheftner always has to be the buzz kill and strike us down with his opinions.

Re: Per Scheft, Fox unwilling to come to Buffalo

This means one of two things (one good, one bad):

1. Cowher is using the Bills as a stalking horse, and really wants Carolina, or somewhere else. He has been stalling with the Bills because he knows Carolina could be in play if Fox gets a better deal somewhere else. Cowher may even have said to Fox "Hey, Buffalo would hire you" and Fox said "heck no".

2. Fox knows Cowher is serious about Buffalo, but would not go there if Carolina's job was open. Nevertheless, Fox doesn't want to step on Cowher's toes at Buffalo by bidding his services for the same job while Cowher is working on a deal with Buffalo.
