    Did Ralph go cheap on us?

    Why do I get the feeling that we hired the guy with the lowest salary request?

      It might have been price AND immediate availability, or the "Pittsburgh Connection" or the color of his shoes.

      Who cares? He still may become a great coach.
      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?

          NO! it’s funny how all the older fans think it’s about money because back in the 70’s Ralph was cheap.


          This guy hasn’t been cheap since the day he signed Kelly!

            Name the last HC that got more than the average coaches salaries under Ralph's regime.

            I bet it goes all the way back to Chuck Knox.

              Could be, but he’s dished out Millions every single off-season for Marquee players!

                Let's see GW stinks up the place and gets a lesser job for much more money. What does that tell you about our pay here in Buffalo?

                  It doesn't say anything about Buffao it tells you how much money Dan Snyder likes to blow in Washington.

                      I think it was just a matter of circumstance, Tremor. Marv wasn't a big name when he got hired but was clearly the man for the job. He lasted a long time. When he left the logical choice was Wade, because he was there. But he, too, wasn't like he was in a bidding war after his stint with the Broncos. When TD came in and the three finalists were all hot coordinators, they werent going to be paid a lot of money. Look at Arthur Blank Check, who throws around money madly in Atlanta. They hired Jim Moron, Jr. and even when the other coaches were getting 3-5 mil because they were names, Mora only got 7.5 mil over 5 years, similar to what Mularkey is reportedly to get.

                            Most teams pay much more than we are willing to pay. Why do you think we were left with this as the only way to go.

                              Seriously, if you look at it, the older fans, BillsHistorian, EE, Doug are all pointing toward money! While the younger fans don’t see that as a problem.
