My uncle from Buffalo called and asked if I wanted to come over to the party celebrating Dick Jauron's dismissal. I said, "Nah, I went to that party 5 years ago when da Bears sacked him as head coach."

There are so many future Hall of Fame coaches on the market (Dungy, Gruden, Shannahan) and other up-in-comers like Jim Harbaugh but I doubt they'd want to coach in Buffalo. That's why I think former Bills savior Frank Reich (best comeback game of all-time vs Oilers) could be a good candidate. He is the QB coach a Indy and might be promoted one day soon.

The Bills looks like shit now but at least they have some future promise now that Dick Jauron is out of the picture.

    While I'm not some huge Dick Jauron supporter ... tough to win with the talent they've had during his tenure.

    The 2 QBs he was saddled with during his 3+ years were JP Losman and Trent Edwards. No one could win with that.

    Nobody decent will want to coach in buffalo. Our front office needs napalm and wilson needs to spend the money and also agree not to meddle. Don't see all that happening

    Somebody will want to coach in Buffalo because its the NFL, its the highest you can go as a head coach. A top college coach who has never coached the NFL will go there.

    But that's not what Buffalo needs... At this point they need an established coach and a GM who knows what
    they are doing. Part of the problem is that they keep bringing in unproven guys to coach.

    that is kind of my point. We can get the next George Halas out of the college coaching ranks and it really wouldnt matter. There is no cohesion in the front office. Our acting GM is a marketing guy who's football experience is playing a couple seasons at St John Fisher University. He is flanked by a Pro Scout who has signed one horrific flop after another.... and also Modrak. As a unit they have held this team in the dark ages.

    They wipe the front office out, get a guy in who has an idea on how to build a successful football program, and the head coach becomes somewhat secondary.

    Yeah, you guys def need the Bill Parcells football-czar type hiring to get everything into shape from top to bottom. Not many of those guys out there... I know Holmgren's name is out there. He definitely has the football intelligence, but I don't know how well he'd be able to build an entire organization.

    I think Bills fans would be happy if J Kelly was head coach, thurman Offensive coordinator, Bruce as Defensive coordinator and Don Beebe as Special Teams coach. how awesome would that be? :ugeek:

    Actually, word is that Shanahan is in line for the job in Washington and he's just using the apparent interest from Buffalo to drive up his asking price.

    None of these teams are going to win with what they are trolling out what they have been at QB every week.

    and as a Bears fan, how have you fared with the litany of crap you've thrown out there the past 20 years?

    Cutler will improve, I'm pretty confident of that ... but right now, he's a mess.

    Do you really think the Bills can with with Edwards or Fitzpatrick or the Redskins can win with Campbell or Collins?

    well, they won a superbowl with Jim McMahon (78.2 career passer rating) and went to a Super Bowl with Rex Grossman (70.2 rating). So, I repeat, it's not only about the QB.
