Like they always say...those who can't, teach

I won't knock him he lasted 9 years being crappy.

[justasportsfan]

That's alright. We're not hiring him to play TE.

[helmetguy]

But the guy was a hell of a blocker. If we based everything on stats, we'd all be like...well...you know...

[Mr. Cynical]

Don't worry. His Bills' W-L record will make his TE stats look like Hall of Fame numbers.

Great post!

kal123... seriously... how can you not give the guy a chance? what happens if he does well this year?

i just dont understand you persistence in being negative.. i dont want to argue with you.. i just want to be happy that the team is doing what THEY think is best... do you think those guys.. you know, the experts that get paid millions to do this job for a living, and whose livelyhood depend on this team doing well... do you think they want to set us up to fail?

please just give the guy a chance.

[Mr. Cynical]

Thank you tatonka for a reasonable and fair post. I can understand your point and don't completely disagree, and I don't really want to argue either.

However, I just feel that given the string of events - hiring MM (former Pitt connection), who then hires TC (from Pitt again)....with a record that was not good last year...feels like a bad set of decisions.

We could have waited for Weis. I don't think anyone would have snapped up MM by then (he has tried for 2 HC positions in the last 2 years and was never picked up). At least I would have felt TD had used all the options.

I agree that they *want* to be good. But so did GW...so did KG....its just that they didn't have the ability to do it. I'm seriously considering that TD also lacks the ability as a GM at this point. I mean, he wanted to do good with GW and failed. It happens even though they try.

Yes, I hope I am eating mounds of crow at the end of next season if they make it to the playoffs and do well. I really hope so. I have no problem admitting I was completely wrong. I just don't have a good feeling about these moves.

[Tatonka]

the pittsburg connection you talked about.. MM said himself, he didnt know TD.. how close do a TE coach and a GM work together? the OC we hired was in the running 2 years ago...

i honestly dont think the "pitt connection" is the reason he was hired.

i think they liked what clements can do with a qb.. i think they liked the fact that MM can clean up a gilbride mess... you are basing his overall performance as a head coach on the fact that his offense struggled last year.. well they were great 2 years before.. not just good.. great.

and MM actually was a candidate for 5 other jobs.. not 2.. 5.. and he turned down cincy.. who went on to hire Lewis..

i think another attractive thing about the guy is the staff that he is assembling. we dont know what weis planned on doing.

bottom line is, it is tough to know the complete story unless you are in that room, so give the guy just a bit of ramp up time and see what he can put together this year.

look at what Fox was able to do in Carolina.. he took over a **** team, and in 2 years rebuilt it and has them playing great. well this team is closer to greatness than the panthers were when fox got there.

i just chose to see it as the glass is half full.. for the time being at least..

[Mr. Cynical]

Well, turning down cincy isn't exactly surprising.

And I wanted Fox...but we got man boobs instead....a direct f*** up by TD.

But I hear you. I still can't be positive about this but I'll try to going forward. (although you are still gonna see a few shots here and there....just take them with a grain of salt....remember, none of us get paid by the Bills so it's all fun and games for us in the end anyway.
