He sounded as if he might not want the job. Said he would decide after the season if he would be a candidate.
Good...I don't want him anywhere near this team next year!
This team cannot afford to try yet another experiment.
Fewell has to realize that he will not be the HC next year.
I'm thinking this is "I know they're not bringing me back, so I'll go out on my own terms."
I'm sure he has heard all the rumors and the statements made my Ralph. He knows he is just a band-aid for the rest of the season. He is auditioning for another job somewhere else by how he finishes here.
Is he technically auditioning here? Isnt that an interview?Originally Posted by T-Long
I'd love for somebody to clear this up...because didn't he have to "interview" with Ralph to take over?Originally Posted by X-Era
he's is ****ing dreamland anyway. no way the bills want him.
One would think so... I sent the question to Florio...Originally Posted by Nighthawk
Maybe we could get Sal or Pat to do some digging and answer this for us?
i don't really understand what is happening here.
Is this his way to stick it to the bills and be like, "i'm not going to be your token interview, find some other minority to interview. I'm not making this easy for you to hire someone else who most likely will can me anyways."
But to be fair, his defenses seem to do ok, and mike shanahan was firing DC's left and right. so perhaps they are a match if that were to work out.

This from a coach who just recieved his most significant job promotion, and he spouts off with a comment like that? The essence of his statement is "If I choose to be" and the response I'd give him is a swift kick out the door! Hey Perry, guess what..... It's a two way street here champ, and the Buffalo Bills are suddenly serious about the Head Coaching position, going forward. Maybe I'm being harsh, but if it was my franchise, I'd monitor, very carefully, what my employees were saying in a derogitory sense.
Shanahan already has his DC picked out... some guy named Bob Slowik?
As for Fewell, I think Op is right, it is his way of having things on his on terms as well, like "don't just assume I would roll over and take this job... maybe I want to be a DC, maybe I want to go somewhere else, maybe I don't want to be someplace where I'm not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 558th choice".
So... You guys want a lame duck coach who doesn't think he'sw good enough or doesn't give a s**t for the rest of the year.
if it wasn't for Byrd and the sudden drop in special teams play April would be the HC right now.
this season is over for us, so yes to have a better next year.Originally Posted by Buckets
At this point I don't think anyone gives a ***** about the rest of the year, players, coaches, and fans.Originally Posted by Buckets
This is just more drama grasping by the drama queens. PF gets to choose if he wants to be a candidate for a job or not. DUH.
I wish him well.
somewhere else.
In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.
