#Buffalo #Bills fired LB's coach Dimonte Cross.

Don't know how reliable this guy is but Coach Sal just retweeted this.

oh good. he was the problem that our undertalented back up linebackers were slow to the ball and blasted off the play. IT's the PLAYERS! Get better ones first, then can coaches if it doesn't work out.

I'm sure Mike Balogun will blossom into a star with a new coach.

Re: Bills fire LB coach?

Brian is solid. I wouldn't retweet him if I didn't have faith in his sources.

He's a local guy who works in media.

Don't tell me they're blaming our horrible defense on this guy. If anyone deserves to go, it's George Edwards.

This is a results league. Can't say I'm surprised it happened.

I'd say it's trustworthy:

Who's to say Edwards isn't coming up?

I'm hoping so, but it seems like if they were intent on firing Edwards, they would have done so by now. It could still happen, I just don't see it happening this offseason.

Re: Bills fire LB coach?

i get that its results driven, but this is classic backwards thinking by the bills.

They have an undertalented defense and select new coaches to implement their ideas. They find out pretty conclusively that the players on the defensive side of the ball don't get it and aren't good. The bills schemed their way into better second halves. I'm reluctant to put it on the coaches right now. i want to see them work their magic with a better roster.

Re: Bills fire LB coach?

I have no problem with Edwards, but the Bills would be really really smart to go hire Kevin Greene who is coaching the LBs for Green Bay.

Every LB they have put on the field since he has been there has excelled:

Mathews, Bishop, Barnett (was there before but improved), Chillar, Hawk, Brad Jones, Poppinga.

Plus he has an intimate knowledge of how Capers does things and can bring that system over.

This guy is going to be a good DC somewhere if not this year then next.

Lets be honest, only a few of us actually knew who the LB coach was. I'm sure they know better than we do whether he was competent or not. They're not pinning anything on him, maybe he was just bad at his job.

Re: Bills fire LB coach?

Guys he was here under Jauron getting the same poor results at linebacker as well. Good rideance, hopefully George is next.
