When are we going to hire a new DB coach

[The Spaz]

We are still in need of a DB coach, when do you think we'll hire one and who do you think is available? I think this position is important I sure would like our DB's to not be 10 yards off there man any more. I sure hopw that it was GW's call on that and if it was Jerry Gray's call then he should know better he was a Pro Bowl DB? Thoughts on a new DB coach?

[The Natrix]

Prime time.

[The Spaz]

Any real candidates?

Deion Sanders has expressed intrest in coaching, but also Gray was the DB coach in TEN so he may just assume the posistion himself.

Cordinators doubling as position coaches frighten me.

[TigerJ]

I doubt Gray will do it. I would hope Gilbride doubling as QB coach last season cured the Bills of any misguided thoughts in that direction.

Dieon Sanders being a Bills coach would put ME in a position - knees on floor, head over toilet, barfing.

Where is the barf Smilie when you need it?

He has 0 coaching experience 0. Deion had abilities in his body to do the things he did he just can't touch someone and all of a sudden they run a 4.2 and have hands of glue. He was a great player but I doubt he can translate that to coaching. If he is going to want to coach I think he should start out as a quality control coach and go from there.

How do you think coaches get their start? By coaching a position. He was an outstanding corner.

Contrary to popular opinion, he was a great teammate. This is from former teammates.

How do you know what he can or can't teach?

Quality control is actually a more in-depth position than what you would think. Well, at least according to Gruden's latest book.

A position coach - especially a position one played - is the perfect fit.

Lets face it, people don’t like him because of his style.

Mike Mularkey got his start as a quality control coach and went on from there. A position coach I think is more detailed.

I don't think so.

Quality control guys are the ones who break down all the tapes and stuff.

A position guy - especially for a DB, would help develop players in the position and know their responsibilites.
