As I sit and read the bad news that we all sorta figured was inevitable, it makes me think of a few things that I'd like to get off my chest, and bring attention to, to other posters (and Bills fans).
1. Pat Moran, & Coach Sal we all owe a great amount of thanks to. Not just for always keeping us well informed (usually w/ bad news-not there fault). Not only do they work hard to keep us in the loop, but they stick there neck out, and face almost certain ridicule, from media big wigs, and unfortunately, even the members on this board. I thank you guys for everything you've done, and will continue to do. Don't let a few bad eggs spoil your attitudes, not that it ever would b/c you both are very strong willed men.
2. I hate it that we didn't get Cowher too. Matter of fact, I hate it w/ a passion. I dreamed, hoped, and even prayed (I literally did) that Cowher would be our coach. Although our dreams are shattered, doesn't mean that 2010 is already a failure. I was on the fence 2 weeks ago, saying "if don't get Cowher, our offseason is a disaster." Well, b/c of reality & b/c I'm a fan, I've rethought my position (I'll elaborate later). I believe, w/ all my heart, that our team did our best to get Cowher, but I don't think him and mainly his family wanted to make such a dramatic change of address. For that, I don't fault the man, where I do fault Cowher, is not coming out or maybe an associate of his coming out, and saying that he's not taking the Buffalo job. It is what it is, and we'll be a good team next year with or without him.
3. Just b/c we won't have Bill Cowher roaming the sidelines next season, doesn't mean we won't have a good coach. Who knows, whomever we hire, whether its Billick, Frazier, Schotty Jr or Sr, or Rivera, we owe it to ourselves, as die-hard fans, to give the new coach a chance. Although Frazier may seem to have a calm demeanor like Jauron, doesn't mean he IS Jauron. For all we know, he maybe a really great HC for this team. I'm certain if Frazier or Shotty Jr is our guy, hypothetically speaking, the national media would applaude the hire of either of these 2 guys. Not that the media, mainly ESPN, are always right, but to hear our team, in a positive connotation, is always a good thing.
4. We still have a draft, Free Agency, and a brand new regime, that hopefully can bring about the change we need. Anyone who is anyone, all says the same thing about Buddy Nix, that he knows football players, and w/ him at the helm, I trust he can make some good personal decisions regarding the draft and FA. I know I'll get heat for this point I'm trying to make, but we got all the junk outta town, and whos to say that these new guys won't do a good job. Its alot of what ifs and question marks, but I'd rather have that than what we've had for the last 10 crappy years.
