Notes - Clayton just said on ESPN

[Devin]

That Haslett is at the front of the list, he believes we could see Martz and Sherman on the list....

[RedEyE]

I think he is coming. You can almost smell it. Hell, you could see it coming for years.

[AndreReed83]

If we hire Martz I think I might have to give up on following the NFL.

[BAM]

Of those choices

1. Sherman
2. Haslett

I'm not even going to rank Martz.

[Michael82]

If we hire Mike Martz....I'm going to burn down the administration building. :mad:

:puke:

[lordofgun]

Like him or not, Martz's teams always scored a lot of points. I wouldn't have a prob if we brought in a Capers at DC.

[BAM]

Saunders > Martz

[lordofgun]

totally!

[Devin]

id be afraid Martz would drop dead. Writing appears to be on the wall fellas........

At any rate we got what we wanted.

Now we have to hold our breath and hope someone of quality is brought in.

[Michael82]

Saunders > Martz
Agreed.

But then again...

Sherman, Haslett, Saunders, Kubiak, Mangini, Cottrell > Martz

[chernobylwraiths]

I think you have to put Levy on that list too. You never know. Hey, is Bud Grant still alive?

[BAM]

Yah.. anybody but Martz! Please GOD.

[L.A. Playa]

remember what Martz said about RWS last year

[Michael82]

Yah.. anybody but Martz! Please GOD.
EXACTLY! :bf1:

[RedEyE]

remember what Martz said about RWS last year

What?

[L.A. Playa]

he was complaining about the facilities and the distance from airport etc

[BAM]

I remember him whining about us cheating somehow. Can't remember the specifics that was too many blunts ago!

[Michael82]

remember what Martz said about RWS last year
And thats why I don't want that piece of ****. He dissed Buffalo big time. He can go to hell!

[chernobylwraiths]

We gotta get a comtemporary of Levy and Wilson. How about Jim Mora?

[ZacGriffi~82]

Among the names already speculated as possible replacements for Mularkey are former New Orleans Saints (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nor) coach Jim Haslett, recently fired Minnesota Vikings (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=min) defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell and current Bills special teams coach Bobby April. Haslett and Cottrell served on Buffalo coaching staffs in the past. Haslett has strong ties to Bills assistant general manager Tom Modrak and some current and past players have already begun lobbying for Cottrell to be interviewed. April was the league's special teams coach of the year in 2004, is popular with players, and is seeking a head coach position.

[Michael82]

Hmmm...let the Bobby April chants begin.

Wasn't Marv Levy a former Special Teams coach? :D

[hydro014]

No sherman, i watch every packers game out here in iowa. his play calling sucks and half the time his team is unprepared for who they play. All my friends are die hard packer fans and all agree that the only reason they went to the playoffs is b/c of Farve, they also point out that over the last few years Chi, Min, and Det have all really sucked. They all agreed that the only way that they would have wanted sherman to return this year was if it guaranted Farves return. Please no Sherman, if you thought that MM play calling was bad you should have seen Sherman's, it was very similar. So i say any of the above listed except Sherman.

[Nighthawk]

I think you have to put Levy on that list too. You never know. Hey, is Bud Grant still alive?

No way! If that happens, I seriously have to wonder what direction this organization is going in.

[Gunzlingr]

Is Buddy Ryan still alive? Maybe we could lure Wanny back to the pros? :ill:

I think I like this Saunders guy.

[chernobylwraiths]

Fassel is still out there. I don't think Kubiak has signed with Houston yet.

I think if I wanted to trade for ANY coach, the first one on MY list would be Marty Schottenheimer. He always seems to have good teams.

[chernobylwraiths]

Is Buddy Ryan still alive? Maybe we could lure Wanny back to the pros? :ill:

Buddy used to coach at the University of Buffalo.

Buddy Ball!

[Michael82]

I think if I wanted to trade for ANY coach, the first one on MY list would be Marty Schottenheimer. He always seems to have good teams.
Hmmm, that would be a good choice too. It would be nice to see him back here. :up:

[Bert102176]

I would like to see Ted coaching here

[RedEyE]

Fassel is still out there. I don't think Kubiak has signed with Houston yet.

I think if I wanted to trade for ANY coach, the first one on MY list would be Marty Schottenheimer. He always seems to have good teams.

Fassel would be an excellent coach.

[Michael82]

I would like to see Ted coaching here
He has been fired several times. The players love him, but I don't think we need a players coach here. We need someone who won't take any crap. We need a Bill Belichick, Jon Gruden, Bill Parcells or a Tom Coughlin. Not a nice guy like Ted Cottrell.

[Dr. Lecter]

If the Bills hire Martz I will beat Mikey to burning down the administrative building.

Sorry, but I live closer than you do.

[G. Host]

Marty Schottenheimer has been unsuccessful in playoffs; not coach for Bills.

[Tatonka]

that list sucks a fat pole.

[Michael82]

If the Bills hire Martz I will beat Mikey to burning down the administrative building.

Sorry, but I live closer than you do.
I bet a lot of people will be charging over to One Bills Drive with the pitchforks and torches ready.

[ICE74129]

I think all of you are dreaming. The CHEAPEST will be signed. so mark Sherman, Martz and maybe Saunders or any GOOD potential HC off of your list. Just watch and see.

[Tatonka]

unfortunately, ice is right.

[Devin]

im sure it will be Cotrell or Haslett, this isnt fooling to many people.

[ICE74129]

im sure it will be Cotrell or Haslett, this isnt fooling to many people.

I bet the PC tomorrow is to announce haslett as HC. The SOB said this is his dream job. Ralph will throw him a mill per (Making him the lowest paid HC) and give him spit to field a staff with, and Haslett will eat it up.

[Devin]

While your numbers are probably wrong, it wouldnt shock me if you were right about Haslett.

[kinigirly]

mularkey's gone press conference on friday the 13th. i dunno man....

[Devin]

mularkey's gone press conference on friday the 13th. i dunno man....

:lmao:

good point.

[lordofgun]

I don't understand why everyone thinks ralph is so cheap. He pays a buttload of money for players...what's a couple of mil per year extra for a coach?

It's a baseless claim, IMO. Besides, TD was running the team correct? So it would make sense that he was the one who lowballed MM.

[lordofgun]

Oh, and if Ralph didn't care about winning, he'd never have fired TD or anyone else for that matter. Let's give the guy some credit for making a few moves we all wanted him to make in the last couple weeks.

[Dr. Lecter]

No way. It would be impossible for them to name Haslett tomorrow due to the Rooney Rule. And Haslett will not be the lowest paid coach in the league since he has experience.

As for your rant about crossing Martz or any other good HC off the list, Haslett is twice the HD Martz is.

[Dr. Lecter]

Quit speaking logically.

[Jeff1220]

Make no mistake, Haslett is their number 1 choice. Cottrell, while he does have an outside shot, is probably more of a Rooney Rule interview.

[HHURRICANE]

If we hire Martz I think I might have to give up on following the NFL.

Mike Martz is scarier than MM. Mr. trick play. Most analysts think he is an idiot. I've watched him single handedly lose games for the Rams. No thanks.
