The Nix hiring showed that Ralph was not serious about changing how the organization is/was run. It seems that most HC candidates want nothing to do with this franchise and IF they would have hired a real GM, that might have changed. In essence, Nix is killing this team's ability to attract a HC.

Re: Nix hire is proving fatal for Bills franchise
I think you correct about a lot of things. I think though it's really Ralph that killed things. IMO Ralph has been the culprit all along and the folks around the league are looking at the hiring of Nix (who is somewhat respected as a scout) is just more proof that Ralphy doesn't have the commitment to win he claims. Inexperienced GM. He has meddled and cheaped his way into this. The turn around is gonna take money and experienced football people not Ralphs buddys.
The team is doomed until he is gone. I would love to see the fans show there displeasure by staying home on Sundays but I doubt it happens. As long as the stadium is full every week and one of the smallest market teams comes in 10th in attendance each year they aren't going to fix anything. Once next season starts the sheep will all line up outside the gates and line the old farts pockets once again. Then at the end of the day the sheep will file out with another loss under there belt.

Re: Nix hire is proving fatal for Bills franchise
i dont think Nix matters that much, I think it is our past transgressions: Firing our OC right before the season, firing a respected guy like Jauron.
Also, guys like Gregg Williams who is viewed as one of the best coordinators in the league, Mularkey, who has now had success in Atlana....doesnt matter who we bring in, none of them have success.
I originally stuck up for the Bills but this is just getting ridiculous, and when Ralph's BS is starting to turn the most staunch optimists like myself, then you know its bad.

Re: Nix hire is proving fatal for Bills franchise
Originally posted by YardRatThere are a ton of guys out there who make excellent coordinators but fail miserably when elevated to the top job...it certainly isn't unusual to succeed as an assistant, fail as a head coach, and then return to similar success as a coordinator again with a different team.
