If the Bills had expected to be competitive this season as stated by Tom Donahoe, then the best hire would have been a head coach with some experience.

way to ruin a perfectly good friday

would somebody tell his editor that this is not a grammatically correct sentance:

It is less important the record of the team this season as it is to demonstrate both within the division as well as to the league as a whole, that the Bills are once again a team capable of beating any other team in the league and not simply routinely beating the dregs of the league.

Yeah, we should have hired a recycled loser like Dick Jauron, Jim the Fossil or Norv Turner, instead of a young, innovative mind like MM.

Think about who wrote the article. He's more stubborn and bull-headed than most anyone I've ever met.

I agree whole heartedly Jan, how do you know who the next Lombardi or Bellicheck are if you don't give them a chance? If the experienced HC's didn't get it done before than why hire them? I know that a coach can be limited by his players abilities but....

hurry up September

Wasn't Belichick the head coach in New York before going to the Pats? That's a retread that didn't work out too bad.

I like the hiring of Mularkey - but you can't say that hiring someone who didn't do well elsewhere is a bad choice either.

Or a young, innovative mind like Gregg Williams?

If you noticed he went on to say:

My vote was for Charlie Weis with the reasoning that the Bills will not be contenders this season regardless. However, playoff circumstances prevented his realistic consideration and hiring in a timely manner.

Weis has never been a HC either!

Wow. That article was so poorly written that I had to stop reading it.

HenryRules, Belichick was HC for the Brownies in the mid-90's before returning to the shelter of Parcells. He was awful, then. He was NYJ HC for only a day or so, when they "appointed" him without discussing it first.

I like the hiring of Mularkey, but I'm concerned about Jerry Gray's ability to coach the D without GW or LeBeau looking over his shoulder.

As for corners, I expect TD figured he could hire Vincent for the next couple of years, and find one in the draft. We have an extraordinary track record of drafting at that position, going back to Burris/Irvin/Smith in the 90's. I will miss Winfield, but the market price has gotten too high for veteran corners.
