Bills tidbit from Hockey Hotline

[TigerJ]

While listening to hockey hotline after another Sabres loss I heard a couple tidbits on the Bills assistant coach situation. The Bills are close to an agreement with Don Blackmon and talking with Tim Krumrie. They are also talking to a number of other candidates for other positions, particularly special teams coach where the listed candidates include Rodriquez (sorry-don't remember his first name) lately of the Seahawks and Bill Bates, lately of Dallas. I didn't catch the name of the third, but I think they said he has worked with the Rams. He may have the inside track because Mularkey has worked with him in the past.

why do they have to "work out an agreement" with blackmon or krummy? both are under contract.

I heard it also Seattle's coach is Pete Rodriquez, Bill Bates, and the 3rd candidate is Bobby April of the Rams. If we get this guy from the Rams you think we can get Wilkins thier Kicker and say bye bye to Rian Lindell? LOL!

The Associated Press reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have hired former Seattle Seahawks assistant Pete Rodriguez as their new special teams coach.

He is out.

Bill Bates was a great special teamer for the cowboys!

I think maybe they are talking contract extension, Tatonka. Is Bobby April any good?

I hope they get Bobby April here for an interview, so we can sign him before anyone decides to. We should've done that with Rodriguez, but we didn't...so now we better do it with April and get a Special Teams coach. That is a very important unit.
