I think we'll know who's coaching the Bills very soon. None of the other 5 teams have hired anyone either.
The Bills had a rare, sentinal event. Ralph died, new ownership and a unique contract for a current coach with an out clause. He exercised it, gaining 4 Mil and believing he had another opportunity to be a HC ( to be determined ).
The Pegula's will be sorting out the adm. bldg. hierarchy ...but first must find a coach, due to time constraints.
They can then return to reorganizing the leadership chart and make the needed changes after. I'm sure some Ralph holdovers will leave. The more, the better.
Assumption in the Press - The Pegula's let Darcy Reiger stay too long with the Sabres and didn't learn their lesson. I've seen it refernced several times. Seems to me that nothing so far has been a mistake.
The coach who ruined our OL and overall Offense is gone. (positive)
A supposed czar who loved that coach and the retired failing QB isn't coming. (positive)
The Pegula plane has logged some miles almost immediately to interview coaches and have spoken in person to at least 6-7 candidates (positive).
Will talk to a few more coaching candidates very soon (positive)
Will pick one shortly, with college all-star games coming up in a couple weeks (positive)
Fully believe they will reorganize the adm. bldg. after the coaching search ( positive)
Have a good Defense and ST's in place (positive)
Whaley pointed towards the O as needing 1-2 more QB's and upgrading the OL . Will work on adding talent ( positive)
Conclusion - Due to not having a top QB currently showing, many will pass on the job. That's just reality. Atlanta, SF, Chicago & Oakland all show a QB a new coach could work with. Manuel is a monster question mark. So our choices despite all the name guys may come down to a precious few.
Reich would probably be interested, due to his love of the team and area. Maybe a few other candidates, due to wanting the opportunity despite the QB issue. Reich could bring our old OL coach Joe D'Allessandris back with him. He was outsanding, IMO.
Reich is light in the resume but can call plays and relate well to the players. That might be a good match for this roster. Plus being a QB could only help that unit and more will be added. I understand the concern but he's not as bad as many think. To say the players would love him would probably be a given. Happy players carry a winning mentality.
Open minded but the so called worries up until this point are invented. It's January with lots of work to do. Ignore the static and watch the progression. To be determined.
