Anybody see Ted Cottrell on ESPN this Weekend?

[Earthquake Enyart]

They did the story on the lack of minority head coaches, and Teddy said that he felt that he didn't have a true shot at the Bills job. He didn't come out and call TD & co. racist, but he got as close as you could get.

[DIHARD2]

That was no way to break the barrier. If nothing else he got the good old boys POed.

I think he would make an excellent head coach if the right team was there. Donohoe is trying to move us in a complete different direction from what I see. He wants youth for long jeopardy at the top, and having the cap healthy as well. I think Donohoe wants to be able to plug-in pros. in key positions like Bledsoe at quarterback.

Donohoe needs a coach who can grow with the team and is looking at the future not the lets win it today and let the future take care of itself mindset, I think that's why he didn't get the job.

GO!!!...BUFFALO!!!...

Cottrell would've been good though. He knew most of the players well, understood the system, and the players would rally behind him. Defense is really what wins the game. GW was supposed to be this defensive mastermind, but what's he showing now???

I wish I would have seen that. If TC hinted racism was involved I would be dissapointed in him. I do agreee that he did not have a real shot at the job but not because of racism. I don't think TD wanted any old Buffalo coachs as HC. TD should not get any racist BS thrown his way. Thats wrong of TC. What other team has interviewed 2 black canidates for the job? Lewis could have had it if he had not been a big jerk about it. Shame on TC!

[lordofgun]

No way TD is racist! Just look at how hard he campaigned for Pittsburgh to keep Kordell Stewart as their starter...er....uuuuhhh....crap. :ontome:

[SABURZFAN]

i hate it when people use "the race card."

[casdhf]

He's a very large man, must have ate alot of sour grapes.

[shelby]

i think Teddy would make an excellent head coach.:up:

[Novacane]

I agree with you shelby but he should not say he did not get the Bills job because of his race. That's just not true.

[shelby]

i agree, the statement was unfair.

[PA Season Ticket Holder]

It's always about race. I get so sick and tired of hearing about it.

[Earthquake Enyart]

I really think that the reason TC didn't get a real good shot is that TD knew he would have to clean house with the cap mess they were in. It would have been difficult to get rid of these players with a coach who was attached to them. It's was easier to bring in a slack jawed hillbilly assassin.

I don't think TC will be a good HC. He may be, but his mentor is a better DC than he is, and can't HC for crap.
