**UNCONFIRMED** MIKE SHERMAN IS THE NEW HEAD COACH OF THE BUFFALO BILLS!

[Mitchy moo]

I just got the call from my insider, he will be named the HC in a press conference friday or monday. They have agreed to numbers but a few small details remain, nothing earth shattering though. RW paid 3 times as much than MM, low $3 range per year.

Sorry darth, bye.

[AndreReed83]

And your insider is? (remember, voices you hear in your head don't count. :peace: )

[Mr. Miyagi]

Darth only said he's done.....reading the threads. Just a joke.

Is this a reliable source or another speculation?

[RedEyE]

SPAM. Someone please move this crap.

[Devin]

His insider also said Haslett would be our HC.

[camelcowboy]

same insider a month ago that says that haslett was the man? What does he say about no minority canidates?

[Mitchy moo]

Darth only said he's done.....reading the threads. Just a joke.

Is this a reliable source or another speculation?

He told me Marv was the GM dec. 13th, it was public early jan., so yeah he's pretty good. They were suprised the packers let him go. Haslett was going to get it but Sherman is better. He lead GB to the playoffs for 4 of his 5 years, it reminded the old man of butler without the smoking.

[ICE74129]

sorry BS. That is all I have to say, BS.

[Novacane]

you are so full of **** skooby

You're about to feel an onslaught of negging.

Facts are facts, he DID call Levy the GM, that was a move not many if any of us saw coming before the rumors.

Im standing behind him. I think hes right and Sherman is the best man out of the bunch. NOT to say that ANY of the guys are proven playoff or SB HC's.

[AndreReed83]

Now all you need is for your "insider" to tell you Jauron will be named the head coach and there will be no way for us to say you were wrong! :up:

Thx JP, many people forget where they hear things but nothing was ever mentioned of Levy / GM & I was torched then but have bounced back. Here we go again. I was kidding darth, NY sarc....

So if this doesn't come true you gonna leave the board? I mean dropping this 'info' and it blowing up in your face destroys any credibility you have. If you are so sure your guy is 100% correct ( and apperantly you are since you posted it ) Then back it up.

It alreayd blew up in his face. He said that his "source" claimed Haslett was going to be the next coach over a month ago.

[HHURRICANE]

Skooby, I won't neg you yet. I get some inside stuff as well and like you I can't divulge my source. With that said I will be leading the "neg to death" if you are wrong.

I told evryone that JP was healthy enough to play the last 2 games and I got some smack for that.

Skoob you had better be right because I'm praying for Sherman or Haslett.

[ICE74129]

It alreayd blew up in his face. He said that his "source" claimed Haslett was going to be the next coach over a month ago.

I understand wanting to break a story, but if you are going to come on here or any message board and say 'I have an inside source that says....' And claim something a big as so and so is being hired, you better be willing to back it up.

The boards have enough stuff going on, speculation etc without someone coming on here and intentionally lieing. I am not saying he isn't right, just be willing to back it or else?

[gr8slayer]

I do hope you are right Skooby.

[Mitchy moo]

I just call it as I heard it, just like Marv. I wasn't there so I cannot say exactly what happened. I offer information from others that I consider fairly reliable, I don't guess.

I personally think Sherman is the best man available and has shown he can consistently score on offense. His D always needed work and hopefully we can put both sides together and make a winner here in Buffalo.

That's all we all really want is a team to be proud of and a winner, isn't it?

[FlyingDutchman]

Does anyone know if any interviews with anyone else are set up at this point? I know they still are supposed to do the minority interview, but besides that, I heard that Hassletts agent hadn't been contacted about an interview date. Is this a good thing? Do they just figure they'll have someone hired this week? Where is the front office going from here?

I have read somewhere that Ralph will say his minority interview will either be the phone call made to Cotrell to talk with him OR The fact they told gray he wouldn't be a candidate.

Now from what I understand that would technically cover the minority rule.

No what you did was come on here, stating speculation in an attempt to be the first to break a POSSIBLE Story. You stated he WILL be named the HC in the next day or two.

Hopefully they are done with the interviews and will announce a press conference Friday to introduce Mike Sherman as the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills and Jim Bates as the defensive coordinator. :pray:

[DaBills]

Here’s where I have the problem in this whole thing: will Sherman be able to put his heart and soul into the job for less than $3 a year?

Maybe he got a great severence package from GB and he doesn’t need the money?

:afro:
He'll be the first ever coach to get paid in Buffalo. Marv is going to help Ralph realize that he needs to open up his checkbook if he wants to win. I think he'll get just over $3 million a year, in a 3 or 4 year deal.

[TigerJ]

For what it's worth, another poster on another fan forum also claims inside info that Sherman is to be named the new head coach. The same poster also claims a rumor aired on WFAN out of NYC claiming there will be a new conference tomorrow (Thursday) to announce Sherman as the HC is false, but that would not preclude a Friday or Monday interview.

I don't think it was Skooby by a different name. Different writing style.

Same forum and thread, different poster says Levy had a phone conversation with Cottrell which they might claim fulfills the Rooney rule. Just passing on what I saw elsewhere.

And that poster on that other board only had 26 or so posts up until that post. I give it zero credibility just like the starter of this thread.

Gee thx Ice. :winkpunch

[LtFinFan66]

Skooby with an insider....LOL

[Throne Logic]

Not that I enirely agree with the Rooney rule (I do like the intent), but why is it so friggin difficult to just bring in a minority candidate and talk to him for 2 hours? Why even play games with "oh, we'll just count that 4 minute phone call to Ted". It's just plain assinine. It makes this organization look real foolish.

[Dr. Who]

James Lofton is being brought in for the requisite two hours, apparently. When someone puts "unconfirmed" at the front of their post, they are not claiming certitude.

[Mitchy moo]

That knocks out the minority issue, next.

[ublinkwescore]

I'm not trying to give any credibility to skoob's 'source', but I'd be willing to bet anyone here all I'm worth that Sherman will in fact be our new head coach.

[ICE74129]

What are you wagering? You say you are willing to bet, what are you willing to lose?

See I am sick of this BS. NO ONE KNOWS! Reality though says Jauron and for obvious reasons. And if it comes down we are now fully screwed.

[BTP]

may god have mercy on your souls.

so tree fitty then its a bet

[Mitchy moo]

That monster asked me for $3.50

[AndreReed83]

It's a gawd damn Succubus!

[Mitchy moo]

If they had their coach in Jauron, why would they have needed to interview Sherman? When they bring in the minority to interview, they have found there man and moving forward. Last one to interview is Sherman.

[gladiator26]

Lofton completes the interview process, they wanted someone who knew Levy and Wilson to make it easy on them. It seems to me they already know who they want and Lofton could come in as a coordinator. I believe Jauron is their fall back guy if Sherman can't get with the program of working with Levy. If Sherman wants this job it is his. I consulted the witch doctor and she agreed

[Mitchy moo]

RW wants sherman folks, he is going to get him. Sherman has not spent 1 second anywhere but here. We are just trying to load in OC/DC with the rest.

[Devin]

lol. Cause Skooby says.

If Ralph lets Levy do his job we get DJ. If he doesnt then we have now entered meddeling owner status in which Levy may never have any pull. Which would likely spell doom for Sherman anyway.

[FirstDownBills]

I think Levy only wants Jauron because of the friendship they built in Chicago. Other than that, I don't see anything positive that Marv could find in this guy. HIRE SHERMAN!

[Mitchy moo]

Well they might have to share the geritol with Sherman & that can get expensive so that maybe a good reason.

[Mitchy moo]

Whoa, new rumor: Ralph Wilson has been very tricky, as had Marv Levy. Sources say that they chose Sherman from the start. The other interviews were not candiates, for head coach. They have been interviewing them for Offensive Coordinator, which will be Jim Cadwell. You guys ready for this...our new defensive Coordinator was supposedly never to have an interview with the Bills. Yes, Jim Hasslett! Now one more suprise surronding Jaroun. He agreed to a 2 year contract with the Bills as an Asst. Head Coach but also a Defensive Lineman/Backers coach to help out the struggling D-Line.

This might explain why Sherman hasn't spent 10 seconds shopping himself elsewhere.

[ShadowHawk7]

What about Lofton and Caldwell? Don't they count as minority?

Man Scoob Im sure your wrong but man that gives me wood just thinking about it.

If that really happens, I'll love it. But I still want Bates at DC. I really like that coach. But anyways...That's a lot of talent on the coaching staff and it would prove that Ralph is finally willing to open up the checkbook for his coaching staff. What a staff.... :bf1:

Offensive Coordinator: Jim Caldwell

You conveinently left out the part where this guy's cousin (a security guard) might be just playing with him. How about the fact that we would have like a kabillion dollar payroll in coaches. Skooby, I actually like you but you are the same guy that after week 8 still thought we had a shot at the playoffs. You are ruining your credibility.

Wow, that would be a sick coaching staff. Although this is all speculation, this definitely reminds me of something Marv would do... making sure he has all his cards in order before he reveals his hand. What better way to rock the Bills nation and raise our faith then coming to the podium in the first press conference and telling us not only have they made their mind up about a head coach but also most of the staff. :rockon:

[Mitchy moo]

We were 2-6 last year and ended up missing the playoffs on the final weekend vs pittsburgh's second stringers. How could anyone say you won't make the playoffs after week 8. On average your out of luck but hey you never know.

P.S. I am a positive person in general.

Boy, I hope this Security dude is right on. We would sell out all of our games 1 week after they opened it up. We would also have no reason not to succeed, not with all that talent.

Is everyone on crack?!

HC - Sherman
AC - Jauron
OC - Caldwell
DC - Haslett


GM - Marv Levy

Do you have any idea what this would cost?! 7-9 Million a year just in these coaches. Ralph would have to be very desperate for a SB win. There is no way in hell this happens. No friggin way. You folks need to settle.:fit:

Just cause you put "unconfirmed" in front of a statement that implies an event is 100% going to happen doesnt get you any leeway. Or your "wealthy insider" for that matter.

Making generalized statements that have a chance of happening (i.e. "BREAKING NEWS!!!! The Bills will draft an OL in the draft!!!" ) are generally frowned upon.
