Re: Shefter says Bates is interviewing.
I clicked on the link and it says Bates is a run defense first guy. He doesn't like to blitz often. WTF..... doesn't he realize this is a pass happy league? Bates would be a DISASTER. WOW.Impossible is Nothing.

We used to complain about Bates a lot in Miami--he will strike you as "vanilla"--but, in hindsight, all those teams were doomed by Wannstedt's stubborn, backward offensive philosophy. The D was the team's strength, year-in and year-out.
If Gailey manages to work a slight miracle with the offense and Bates can come in and just improve the defense a little bit, the Bills will be tough to play.

Originally posted by hydrosmakOh I don't know. Maybe because his name was dragged through the mud with the Cowher fiasco. His credibility was judged pretty harshly and even though he was adamant that Cowher wasn't coming here no one believed him.
I guess maybe it was just frustration over the whole speculation, but it seemed like he was kind of stating the obvious, and had no other information as to what may be going on, which he didn't. To be fair, nobody did. The lack of organizational leaks kind of made all of the "insiders" look bad.

Point is, he said what people on the board didn't want to hear, and instead of accepting it, people bashed the living hell out of him.
In the end, he was right, and those people look like morons now.

Re: Shefter says Bates is interviewing.
I didn't get bashed for saying from the beginning that Cowher wasn't coming here, so nobody owes me an apology.
I've bashed Schefter for different reasons, though, and stand by those.Last edited by YardRat; 01-22-2010, 12:28 PM.YardRat Wall of Fame
