    I Give Up!!!

    Morning After: What a weekend
    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs03/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=1706296
    If you needed a reminder about how great the NFL playoffs can be, you got it in the divisional round.


    New England took care of defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel, rewarding him with a new three-year extension, since his contract was about to expire. Crennel will make about $1 million annually and that will tide him over nicely, if he doesn't land any of the head coach spots for which he has interviewed. His counterpart, Pats offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, seems to have moved into the top spot on the Buffalo wish list. That means the Bills may not have a new head coach until after the Super Bowl.

    By my count, Jauron and Mularkey have already been hired and Fassel is on his way. How many HCs do you suppose we'll end up with?
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

      I don't know anyone. But this quote makes me wonder if there is behind the scenes stuff going on right now.

      Not only did the Chicago Bears secretly interview University of California coach Jeff Tedford last week, and offer him the job after LSU's Nick Saban rebuffed them Saturday night, but the Atlanta Falcons also quietly met with him on the West Coast. For obvious reasons, like recruiting, Tedford didn't want word to leak of his NFL interviews. He was to have been at Halas Hall on Sunday night, according to the Bears plans, but elected to remain in his current job. The Falcons quietly interviewed former Minnesota Vikings coach Dennis Green before he took the Arizona Cardinals job.

            The Bears also talked to Ralph Friezen of Maryland.

            The only coaching search worse than the Bills is the Bears.

              Sounds more like he just hasn't been following the Bills situation closely enough rather than him saying that Weis has ovetook Mularkey as the leader.

                  Isn't all of this more fun than that pesky regular season, when all of our hopes and dreams turn to crap?

                    I am willing to bet $1,000 that Mularkey WILL SUCK as a head coach and we will be looking for a new one three years from now.

                    AGAIN.

                    Sigh.

                    Tough being a Bills' fan, that's for sure.

                      and your backing up this bet with what knowledge? just your "gut" feeling?

                        Just maybe, they are telling the truth over at BuffaloBills.com. They are saying, the Bills will take a step back and the "holy trinity" Ralph Wilson, Tom Donahoe. and Tom Modrak will "step back and assess where they stand the next few days. They are "sitting down and talking about what they've heard" and "sharing their feelings on each of the seven candidates they have spoken to this past week." That's from an article posted last Friday. Here's the link if you don't happen to have read it already:

                        The Official Website of the Buffalo Bills
                        http://www.buffalobills.com/news/index.cfm?cont_id=223599


                        I suspect that each of these big shots have their own preferences, which may or may not agree. It may be that various underlings in talking to these guys have gotten impressions about who those preferences are for. That may be the source for some of these rumors and reports from guys like Len Pascarelli and others.

                        However, I think we need to remember that Tom Donahoe, like him or hate him, rightly or wrongly is all about the process. He believes that if you go about making decisions in a methodical orderly process, you'll make the right decision more often than not. He made the wrong one the last time around. That may have made him even more careful about following the process, and even tweaking the process to make it more deliberate and careful. Bottom line: We'll know when TD has decided they have followed through on the process and not before.

                        I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                        I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                              I'm also begining to believe that Marv is the best, most reliable option out there. These other guys are risky misfits. Hire Marv and wait for Bellick to become available. That's my new line of advice.
