Some noteworthy stuff on Grimm and a potential problem

[patmoran2006]

Mark Gaughn from the news points out that Grimm and Mularkey have the same agent, and that he and Mularkey are friends who coached together for three years in Pittsburgh.

Perhaps that's why Grimm's interest in Buffalo is lukewarm at best.

I cant stress to all you guys enough how much I talk to people that range from who cover the team full-time to people around the league and some with inside knowledge of the organization tell me that the Bills have an awful, awful reputation on a league-wide basis.

Well, not sure how many of us wanted Grimm, but it sucks to hear that we are not well received around the NFL. It is not shocking either. So the question is, what is it going to take (winning, duh) and how long is it going to take to get some 'cred' back?

The Bills being a joke around the league is not a shock...hell, anybody with half a brain knows that Ralph is a joke and his organization is too.

Well I only speak for me, but he was my choice after Cowher.

The Mularkey part is partially (mostly?) on the fans for the way they treated his family, especially his kids.

Although this organization ha been mismanaged for way too long. I do think Brandon is trying to fix it, but it might be too late.

its going to take finding a coach willing to take a chance and getting really lucky to find a guy who will build a winner.

It has to start all over, which I dont think got off the best start with Nix being named GM instead of an outsider.

its just further proof that Ralph wants "yes men" to keep things closer to his vest. I dont know how much proof is needed.

I've been saying this since Nix was hired...it sent a terrible message to the rest of the league that absolutely nothing has changed with the Bills. They are not committed to winning and Ralph is still only worried about how much money he is making.

I dont think Ralph is worried about how much money he's making.

But he's obviously unwilling to let outsiders run his team ever again, and at 91 he's never going to wake up and change.

If they were truly truly serious about Cowher, they would've hired him and let him bring his own GM in there to right this ship.

it is too late.. They're down to getting Frazier or someone like him, and blindly hoping the guy turns out to be Dungy and can bring us respectability again.

I"m sure Mularkey has or will relay his experiences in Bufflao with the front office to Grimm.
