Marv talked Ralph into keeping Mularkey???????

[Novacane]

That is what Ed Kilgore said his sources have told him! Ralph wanted to can him and Marv convinced him not to.

That makes me feel real good about Marv as GM :rolleyes:

[RedEyE]

I don't like Mularkey either, but I do trust Marv's knowledge of the game. If he thinks Mularkey can better preform, than perhaps he can. I am just greatful that changes are being made.

the only defense I have to that is what ML thinks is the quickest way to make this team a winner...do you ditch the HC and 16 assistants and expect a winner overnight? Nick Saban's don't grow on trees. Romeo Cronell only took Cleveland to 6 wins. All this interference from RW tells me he wants 9 or 10 wins next year. Stability may be the only route to that...not that I agree.

[lordofgun]

It all depends on who the assistants will be.

[obi wan]

I like MM as coach as long as he has a good OC and lets the OC make the play calls.

[Ebenezer]

Clemens is already out...I doubt Sam Wyche would still around if they bring in somebody new to be OC. Jerry Gray, imo, is as good as gone. ML must have huge imput on who the new DC and OC will be.

I think Marv's thought is TD was too involved in what was going down ON the field this season and that hindered MM's performance. I think this is backed up by Ralph saying, "The GM will NOT coach this team." Ralph saying that makes me believe three things:

1. TD was basically coaching the team.

2. MM was hired as a puppet head coach.

3. Levy will not be another TD.

I'm not thrilled about MM staying. I think he's the biggest cancer to the team, but with all the news about TD and how he acted and with Levy coming in, I do feel a little confident that Levy is doing what is in the best interest of the team.

My wish list:

Norv Turner OC

Mike Archer DC

[Mudflap1]

Nice. If all the reports are true, Mularkey was fighting with Wilson yesterday about Marv's inclusion with the team's organizational plans, and Marv's the one who was trying to save his bacon.

None of that was really confirmed as far as I'm concerned - I've personally not seen one media source say that Mularkey had it in for Levy. Got any links saying otherwise?

[madness]

My wish list:

Norv Turner OC

Mike Archer DC

I definitely agree with bringing in Norv. Mike Archer is an interesting pick, I like it.

I think MM still has what it takes to be a good coach. It's hard to try to be something when you have a hand stuck up your ass and I think he's glad that's over. This is also why Norv would be of such value. He can correct our offense and help MM with his biggest weakness... decision making.

[ublinkwescore]

My how ironic is this - it appears Mularkey may have thrown TD under the bus.

Who is Mike Archer?

I've pretty much wanted Archer in Buffalo since before he went down to Kentucky. He's a 3-4 coach and a damn good one. Highly underrated and not widely known.

Truthfully, I just want Gray and that 46 out of Buffalo once and for all. I'm tired of that POS "Bend don't Break" BS.

[Mudflap1]

The Marv-Mularkey thing was something someone else posted yesterday saying they heard it on ESPN from Clayton. There's no link, and who knows if it's true or not.

As for Mularkey throwing Donahoe under the bus, I doubt that happened. Donahoe sealed his own fate with the performance of this team over the past five years. However, it looks like Mularkey threw Clements under the bus...

[ublinkwescore]

Yeah, it does bend just a little too much.

I agree, Gray should have visited the nearest casino if he wanted to go against the odds.

I really haven't given the 3-4 much thought but I wouldn't mind switching if it's under someone like Archer. I'm looking more for a DC that could bring the Cover 2 to Buffalo but I don't think the right person is out there to bring it.

[ublinkwescore]

You think if Wade doesn't get the job in GB, Marv might be able to convince him to put aside his differences with Ralph and bring his 3-4 here?

[Typ0]

someone has to step in and let MM know the flea flicker is a bad choice on 2nd and goal at the one and he might just be OK.

Also, if you're up by 20 points in the 4th qtr, don't help the other team by passing every down and stopping the clock. Run the damn ball.
