I demand more interviews, more candidates

[RedEyE]

I believe that Donahoe is forcing his hand after the Coughlin hiring. He should relax and be more patient with the process rather than pulling the best of 7 in only a weeks time.

If Fassel is taken in AZ then so be it....the guy just isn't Bill's material. Juaron is a chump and truly hasn't any more talent than GW. Malurakey (sp?) is just another Pitt POS toss away that the Bills can't gamble on.

IMO, TD should wait on Charlie Weis and Lovie Smith for further evaluation. In the mean time, he should set up an interview with Matt Cavanaugh (OC of the Ravens), wait to see what the will be done with Bellick in Baltimore, interview Reeves, Levy and Callahan for ****'s and giggles, and obtain permission to speak with Eagles OC Brad Childress and Packers OC Tom Rossley once their seasons are respectablly over. Also look at a few college coaches, if for any reason but to seek out future/possible coaching talents.

Stopping now just eliminates options. So what if Fassell and Juaron are picked from the rotten tree of toss away coaches. Rash decisions will inevitably lead to horrific results. Play the game TD, wait for your hand to be dealt. Find us a TRUE winner not an equivalent replacement.

i dont think he is going to listen to your demand

[The Natrix]

I couldn't agree more. Those available with head coaching experience are all crap, IMO. I honestly don't know how anyone could want Fassel the most when he has a lot of the same faults as GW.

Weis is more than ready to move into the head coaching ranks, as is Ferentz.

Last time he waited we got stuck with Gregg Williams.

I do like your idea of college coaches. Pete Carroll would look nice on the Bills sideline.

You're probably right. I think that release of Gray and Krumie is a sign that TD has already chosen someone in his head, and that someone already has a long list of coahes that they would like to bring with them.

Yes, but the team was in disarray then. Now, most think the Bills are the most disireable place to go (Could argue Falcons)

I don't see how Buffalo wouldn't be Weis's first choice.

Don't let an isolated past experience greatly play into a decision.


It would be stupid to pass on Volek, just because Rob Johnson didn't work out. That is the most stupid argument ever.

True, but this year is seemingly different. Besides Coughlin the leading candidates that are currently available (not including the coaches still working in the playoffs) are just too ifffyyy. Might as well let things pan out.

Not sure how I feel about Pete Carroll? He looks good in USC and his past NE bumbles might have been due to lack of support from the NE front office at the time.

I disagree. He had to interview everyone in the past week because his competition had done so. I beleive he will wait for Weiss/Crennel/Smith.

I also agree that if I were in his shoes, I would not waste my time interviewing just for ****s and giggles. If Callaghan is of no interest- don't waste the time.


I'd be very happy with Weiss. Fassel I'm cold on, but it's better than GW. Mularkey would be a dissapointment.

No, I'm not doubting that he forced the interviews because he wanted to be competitive in the search. I'm saying wait things out. If you read what the media has been writing recently, TD has made his decision and will be choosing a new coach from the already interviewed. If that's waiting Weiss out, than so be it. In the mean time, while the wait is on, continue interviewing, expand options. Bringing more media hype to Buffalo by seeing more candidates might alleviate contract negotiations later with the his prime coaching choice. Why sit around with his thumb up his a** for 3 weeks?

Zero Zilch None!!!!

..but if TD was just looking to bring in someone to "fill in" for Williams, he might have kept them there. The defense was the one true highlight from this season's miserable journey.

And who would you choose to be the next Head Coach?

[Devin]

apparently neither is decent coaches.

[Devin]

of the 7? Fassell. I dont want him but of the 7, hes the one who least makes me want to vomit.

Overall? Probably Green or Coughlin, although id give Levy a shot.
