    Sherman because..

    Forked from: Can anyone explain to me why you want Jim Haslett as HC?

    We'll i can tell you that i dont like Sherman. He had a bunch of pro bowlers the last few years in the weakest division and still could get far in the playoffs. The only two reason IMO that he even went to the playoff was b/c Farve and they had DET, CHI and MIN in their division. At least he had players to work with, Haslett had to deal with sub-par managment, sub-par players and Kitrina this year.

    I am not a fan of bringing Haslett in hear to be our HC, but I like him better than Sherman. Here is some other info on what Packers fans thought about Sherman, and look at ESPN approval ratings of the two, Sherman was one of the lowest in the league last year:



    Here is Hasletts approval ratings.

    Here is Shermans Approval ratings:

    Mike Mularkeys:


    Another thing that i dont like about Sherman is his play calling, like MM, he has had some issues with play calling this year.
    Obviously when you're losing for the first time in 6 years you're approval isn't going to be very high..

    Sherman was enamored by Losman in 2004 and was about to pick before we swooped in and took him. Now he'll have what he wanted all along and will be able to mold him like a rookie, except he has some game experience.

    I watched all the Packers games this year, and I must say that Sherman getting fired was one of the worst personnel moves by them ever. With so many star players injured, (Walker, Furguson, Green, Davenport, Gado, Na'il Diggs, and more) it's not rocket science to figure out why they did so bad. Every other season was a playoff year.

    He also served as a great GM, and would help us make FA and draft decisions.

    Sherman will also most likely bring Jim bates w/ him to be our DC which would suit us well IMO.

    Bring April up to Asist. HC/ST coach.

    I wouldn't mind Haslett, but this is the best option IMO.

    Re: Sherman because..

    Sherman being fired was the most shcoking indeed. I mean how can you fire a guy because your season stunk by default of injuries.

    Most of his key players were down early in the season. But to add to that Favre tried to do way to much. There were some games that he gave away by simply trying to do to much.

    He's not a dumbass like most people believe. You can say what you want about having favre as a QB. You still have to have quality players around him to win.

    At first i'll be honest i was kinda leaning towards haslett but i've been looking at numbers and other things and i would be more happy with sherman in buffalo. Don't get me wrong if haslett was brought in i would support him as well i'm not going to turn my back on the bills because my choice wasn't brought in. But i think sherman can get the job done here in buffalo.

    He could take JP and turn him into the QB that we were all lead to believe he can be. I'm not saying JP is a bust he just needs a good teacher andi think sherman is that man. But the fact is Mr Wilson needs to pony up the money for him. That is the question that is left to answered.

      Re: Sherman because..

      I've been pushing for bringin in Sherman too, but more and more I'm getting excited at the prospect of getting Haslett instead. Haslett is more of a no-nonsense straight shooter guy, whereas all the interviews I've seen of Sherman, he's a boring as hell of a interviewee.

      Either way I'll be very happy.

          I guess it is a good thing Carolina didn't think like green Bay in regards to firing HC's who had bad seasons due to injuries huh?

              Who cares about approval ratings?

              Sounds like something from the Clinton administration.

                Has Sherman been rumored at all to be interviewed here...So far all I heard is Haslett and Payton...Not sure who else who has been rumored by the Bills.

                  Agreed. And to the post above, yes, it is official. The Bills have set up an interview with Sherman!

                        I care about approval ratings. I certainly wouldnt hire someone with an approval rating of 28%. If you were only getting a 28% approval rating of your job, do u think anyone else would want to hire you?

                        Im not saying that shermans a bad coach or will be a bad coach for some team but come on guys, 28% is not good

                            I agree, i just want to win too. If we get Sherman thats fine i'll give him my support, hell, i'll support any bills coach. But i am sick of having a crap product on the field.

                              Being approved by fans is like being elected El Dictator and Madam President in wacko asylym - it doesn't mean much. No GM is idiotic enough, even Millen, to go by sport site polls.
