John Clayton on Bills coaching search

[Novacane]

He was just on ESPN news. He said look for things to really heat up in the next 24 hours. He does not think it will be Fassel.

That would have to mean Mularkey, Jauron, or Gray.

Thanks FTG.

The suspense is killing me!

[nolimit]

I suddenly want Mularkey! Just a gut feeling!

[Novacane]

One thing he said is Gibbs and Williams do want most of our defensive staff if the new coach does not retain them.

Or Weis.

Nope. Can't hire Weiss unless the Pats lose this weekend.

[Devin]

i suddenly feel nausious.

I wouldn't mind Weis, but I'm not crazy about waiting until the Patriots are out of the playoffs. The new coach has to put a staff together. The longer we have to wait for a new coach to be named, the smaller the available pool of candidates for assistants. The current defensive assistants will start to get antsy and may request release to take new positions (with Washington).

All things considered, that makes me think TD might be better off going with a guy who's available now.

EXACTLY!

[helmetguy]

Fassel will put us over the hump? Huh? Playoffs three years out of seven? One trip to the SB in those same seven years? This is the same HC who blew a three TD lead over SF to lose a playoff game in OT, then blamed it on a bad call from the officials? That guy?

I'd love to have a new HC named fairly soon, too. After a season of watching the team slowly concede defeat, I don't want a guy in here who just left a similar situation.

Unless Weiss had agreed to keep the D coaching staff if he were t be hired and would take care of the OC position himself.

How about we make a bet on Fassel? I'll bet ya 10,000 Zonebucks he isn't our coach. We can both surely afford it.
