The Big Tuna has left the building. Oh how he could right the ship. Unfortunately Ralph doesn't like to let someone do their job and all the top management talent know it too.

Re: Time to go Tuna Fishing?
he'd never do it in a million years, but perhaps he wants to hit for the AFC East cycle.
the only concern is that he's gotten progressively worse as he's kept moving.
won a superbowl with giants
got the patriots to the superbowl
got the jets to the playoffs
didn't win a playoff game with dallas
put in a winning culture with the dolphins, but stagnant growth in getting better
how much would it suck to see him come here and fail big time. -

BP, as much as i would love to see him save this team i think is done with football for good at this point.Originally posted by HAMMER
Of course this is ignoring the fact that Wilson is also around and would never pay a dime for him.My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

Re: Time to go Tuna Fishing?
The Tuna is starting to stink. I'd stay away.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Time to go Tuna Fishing?
Say what you want about Parcells, but every team he leaves is in better shape than when he took over. His specialty is turning around teams that are trainwrecks. Look at his history:
- Took over the Giants after a 4-5 strike season, 1 winning record in previous 10 seasons
- Took over the Patriots after a 2-14 season, 14-50 over the previous 4 years
- Took over the Jets after a 3-13 and 1-15 seasons
- Took over Dallas after 3 straight 5-11 seasons
- Took over Miami after a 1-15 season, 20-44 in previous 4 years
Parcells would establish the infrastructure to build a winning team. Going for him is a no-brainer, IMO, if you could interest him. After a few years you can move on, but at least the team would have people in place that know how to run an NFL team.Last edited by Ickybaluky; 10-19-2010, 08:33 PM.Comment

Re: Time to go Tuna Fishing?
Well it's nice to talk about and nice to think about but anyone who seriously considers this has forgotten about Ralph and how he does or doesn't do things. He will never relinquish the type of control needed to land a person like this he just does not do it. Thats it, end of story.
When Ralph dies and the new ownership takes over, IF they decide to stay in Buffalo then we can start to talk like this. As morbid as it sounds we are of little hope till the guy dies as far as putting together a winning organization goes.The Polian Curse

Re: Time to go Tuna Fishing?
He'd be a coup for the Bills and turn things around. But why would he ever do it?
Ralph's meddling. No bidget for players. Bad weather.
Nope. never happen.Comment

Re: Time to go Tuna Fishing?
I don't know. Was Leon Hess a great owner? Was Wayne Huizenga? Does Jerry Jones meddle?Originally posted by Canadian'eh!
Wilson seems shy about giving too much power to a front-office guy, but a lot of that is because of Tom Donahoe. It has been a while since Donahoe was canned, and it hasn't worked since. Couldn't you see him getting fed up after a dreadful season (which the Bills look headed for) and deciding he doesn't want to deal with it anymore? In that case, maybe he just writes Parcells a check and tells him to deal with it. It would get the fan base energized and free him up from some headaches.
It makes a lot of sense, IMO. Turning around teams like the Bills is what Parcells does. They should at least see if they can interest him.Last edited by Ickybaluky; 10-20-2010, 06:54 AM.Comment

Re: Time to go Tuna Fishing?
The guy is 70 years old. He has Grandkids. His son in law happens to run a football team. He has a hsitory of getting fed up, taking time, and then getting the itch. Don't forget that Miami is paying him for another year or two anyway.
He's moving to KC, taking off for a year, maybe dabbling in TV, and oh yeah he's going to babysit his grandkids :P . And maybe consult with KC.Last edited by Stewie; 10-20-2010, 07:24 AM.Originally posted by TopdogOriginally posted by mercyruleOriginally posted by mercyruleComment
