My first choice is Coughlin. Coughlin has what this team needs, discipline. If we can't get Coughlin then I'd like to see another coach already residing within the NFL. College coaches have too much to learn and the Bills are ready to explode NOW, not 3 years from now. Lovie Smith comes to mind, but is defensive minded....Haslett and Fassel both lost points with me over the season, but should suffice.
Here are few other suggestions:
Matt Cavanaugh OC Baltimore (my personal fav) http://www.baltimoreravens.com/images/coaches_headshots/mattcavanaughhs.gif
Matt Cavanaugh has accumulated three Super Bowl rings in his 23 years in the NFL—one as the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens and two as a player for two different teams (San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants). Cavanaugh calls the Ravens’ offensive plays and enters his fourth season in that capacity. In 2002, Matt will concentrate on his coordinator role, delegating quarterback coaching duties to David Shaw, who will coach bothquarterbacks and receivers.
“We’ve got some younger guys on offense who have been with us for three or four years, and even though we’re a younger team this year as a whole, these players are familiar with our system,” said Cavanaugh. “I liked the chemistry and communication I saw between the players who have been here and the newcomers at minicamps. I think that chemistry is crucial in achieving success as a team.”
Last season, Cavanaugh completed his third year as the Ravens’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after serving in the same capacity with the Chicago Bears for two seasons (1997-98). The Ravens finished 14th overall in offense and 11th in rushing in the NFL, despite losing RB Jamal Lewis to a knee injury and RT Leon Searcy to an elbow problem in training camp.
“Our offense has improved steadily under Matt’s direction,” said head coach Brian Billick. “I expect that we’ll be just as competitive this season. Matt is fully aware of how to play the game, as well as coach it.
I think that gives us great insight. If we ask a quarterback to do something, Matt will tell us if what we’re asking is possible. He’s a solid teacher. I’ve got tremendous confidence that Matt is the kind of coach who can get these young guys ready to play and execute what we teach.”
Matt Cavanaugh, the person who calls the Ravens’ plays, is in his third season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after serving in the same capacity with the Chicago Bears for two seasons (1997-98). A 14-year NFL veteran quarterback, Matt is in his ninth season coaching, his fifth as coordinator. Since his arrival in 1999, Cavanaugh has worked with four starting quarterbacks (Scott Mitchell, Stoney Case, Tony Banks and Trent Dilfer). Dilfer, who is no longer with Baltimore, finished 11-1 as a starter in 2000, including the Ravens’ 34-7 Super Bowl XXXV victory over the New York Giants. The Ravens set a new team rushing record with 2,199 yards, fifth in the NFL. The powerful ground game, led by rookie Jamal Lewis (1,364 yards), enabled the offense to rank second in the NFL in average time of possession (33:19). The Ravens scored 333 points, second-most in team history, despite a five-game TD drought in October.
