Re: The Bills Pattern...and solving their Core Issue
I think at our level, the level that the Bills organization is at, picking a Head Coach, or even a Player is a total crap shoot. On this I agree with you a hundred percent. In fact, the Bills are worst than random chance. If a monkey was random picking a coach for us out of a pool of candidates, the monkey might have gotten one right by now.
I also think that the really good GMs know how to pick a good coach, and get good players. One guy that has been exceptionally consistent on this has been Bill Parcels. He has his formula, his ways, and what he is doing works! (FYI he started by winning a SBs with what was a poor Giants Team, then took over for one of the loosing-est franchises in the Pats and also took them to SB, then turned around a 1-15 Jets team and took them to playoffs following year and eventually to AFC championship game, he turned a perennial loosing Cowboys team into a winning team, then he turned our the 1-15 Dolphins and got them to win a very stout AFC East Division the following year! Now that is way better than random chance)
There are no guarantees in this league whether you have a proven coach or a new coach.
If teams didn't give coaches asecond chance then the PAts wouldn't have a dynasty. The giants wouldnt have won a sb with their current coaches.
The broncos arguably have a better team than when Shanahan left and this is with a rookie coach in McDaniels. Time will tell where the broncos are headed and if Shanahan can build a SB team in Washington.
Did we screw up with Dick? Certainly. But teams like the fins did screw up with guys Cameron and replaced him with a first time coach like Sparano who so far has done a decent job. Same goes for 1st time jets coach, Ryan.
THe saints hired a first time coach and ended up with a SB.
If we hired either Peyton ,Sparano or Ryan, people would be complaining too . So no matter who we hire, we're screwed.
