Bills ass-backwards.
I have to say that the way things have been handled in the front office, it's been everything short of brilliant. Lack luster may be the better term.
The Jauron hiring came as a big shock to most of us and as things setteled we certainly came to appreciate his way of managing the game. But the one thing that is bothering me, is if the Bills wanted Sherman to run the offense and Bates to run the defense, why not just hire Sherman from the get-go.
Hiring Sherman would have guaranteed a Sherman like offense. Right?
And the fact that his buddy Bates has worked with him for this long, I'm sure that Bates could have been strung along. Suddenly the Bills have Bates and Sherman. What a concept?!
Let's say Bates pulled down an HC job somewhere, well then Jauron would have been available to take over the DC position. Something that makes a hell of a lot more sense then giving him the high HC.
I'm not disappointed with the hiring of Fairchild, but even if Sherman was brought in at HC, more than likely Marv and Sherman both could have agreed on hiring Fairchild as OC anyway.
So this is where we stand:
No Sherman
No Bates
No Wyche
And already a no to from your A list TE coach
Now the Bills have to drop to the B-List. This is not what I expected as a fan. Not after the nonsense that we've endured the last several years. I expected a PRIMO A List coaching staff in Buffalo.
Instead, we are going to see a bunch of question marks coaching in Buffalo again. The fact that the Bills dragged their feet on signing an HC, the market for DC has been sucked dry.
Cottrell sucks guys. Check his numbers. The guy has good years, but more often then not he has had bad years. Take into consideration the bad blood between Ted and Ralph, and we know he isn't coming anyway.
So, now that I've complained, I'm offering a resolution.
Fairchild is fine with me, but the Bills have to aggressively pursue a top DC and quickly.
Bring in every qualified candidate from college to the pros and start interviewing 3 guys a day until John Marshall, Seattle's LB coach is available for an offer.
They have to go out and get John Marshall. He's really the only big name left to pull out of the hat. Otherwise, we're stuck with a real question mark.
Haslett, had the Bills not dragged their feet, Haslett would have jumped at the chance to coach the Bills D. _ GONE
Singletary, while showing signs of a good coach, doesn't have the experience this team needs.
Capers goes to the competition.
I want improvements in what the front office has already done.
