    My top pick for HC at this point is Udinski.

    Offensive minded and helped both Lawrence and Darnald plus someone young with a new perspective. 

    Obviously the problem with Cleveland is our leadership in the front office. I've been reading a lot of reports how the Browns might have waited too long because now the Bills are in the mix with a top QB. But if I were looking for a new HC spot, I would find it more appealing to join the Browns where the only place to go is up. There will be a lot of scrutiny and pressure in Buffalo and anything short of a superbowl run would be considered a failure. My number one priorities would be pay and control over the field.

    Getting a superbowl ring is pretty enticing but if it was that easy the previous HC would have got it done already.

    ...but you can't go up.  Not consistently.  Nobody's been able to do it with meddling Haslam.  I wouldn't take that chance with my future NFL career at steak.

    Sure you can and KS landed a good spot.

    You think Hue or Kitchens had the potential to do better than they did without Haslam?

    You think Hue or Kitchens had the potential to do better than they did without Haslam?  Moot.  They wouldn't have been hired in the first place. 

    The football people wanted McDermit instead of Jackson, and Stef instead of Kitchens.  Haslam wanted the two bums we hired.

    A random poster on a forum figured that out but the Falcons couldn't? Nah...

    The reason we sucked is our Oline, WRs and QBs. He might not have been the best coach ever but he definitely was a scapegoat.

    Either case, no matter how you look at it, it didn't end his NFL career.

    Not moot as it disproves your nobodies truly were nobodies with or without Haslam.

    Moot, I already acknowledged the front office and I'm saying if I was looking for a HC spot. I could care less who hired who, all I care about is having control on my field and getting paid.

    Covered, we can move on.

    They are the same as Kitchens and Hue, nobodies, proving my point. Unless you think Haslam ruined them lol.

    The Bills are reclaiming the crown of most dysfunctional organization. Imagine throwing a WR on your staff under the bus in public in an easily proven lie.

    Reports are that they have Josh Allen sitting in on the coaching search interviews. Not a good idea, a player shouldn't be involved in that at all 

    They must be using the Aaron Rodgers playbook.

    An organization that has been historically dysfunctional attempting to now be picky, deliberate and precise. 

    What a fucking joke.  

  • They're going to pick whoever Haslam wants.  Who's in Haslem's ear?  Berry?  Son-In-Law?  Homeless guy?

    I don't think they are now worse than the Browns, except for just the past year, but what a mistake they made in that press conference. The owner blames the ex-coaching staff for drafting Coleman? 

        Apparently, the Bills GM admitted it WAS his pick, a bit later on the press conference...so the owner made an immature, frustrated-over-another-playoff loss, stupid statement. 

    https://www.si.com/nfl/bills-owner-sean-mcdermott-for-drafting-keon-coleman

    ""Can I interrupt," said Pegula. "I'll address the Keon situation. The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice. That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player. You know, he's taken, for some reason, heat over it. And not saying a word about it. But I'm here to tell you the true story.""

    ********

    "To Beane's credit, he later said, "He was my pick," regarding Coleman. Perhaps the fact that there is video of him talking about wanting to draft Coleman at the combine made it easier to admit it.

    "I'm glad Coleman ran that (4.57 40). It'll help to get him" 2 months before the draft pic.twitter.com/vj18EgvqyJ

    Whoever really wanted to draft Coleman, it doesn't really matter. He's been a disappointment and ended up benched multiple times this season. The real issue is how Pegula handled this moment, flat out blaming the coaches and absolving a GM who clearly was involved in the decision."

    *****************************************************

        So, looking at Keon Coleman's draft profile - it seems that Coleman wasn't a willing blocker, slow out of his breaks, will have trouble getting open....etc

    he was drafted way too high. To me, he was one of those guys with nice size, but not a guy who loves the game.etc

    After losing Stephon Diggs, who is one of those explosive get open wr's, Coleman was a dumb draft pick, especially so high.

    I mean, "rated as an average starter with time"...whatever.

    "

    Weaknesses

    • Press coverage can blanket his release and catch a ride.
    • Below-average acceleration getting out of breaks and cuts.
    • Could struggle finding separation to avoid excessive contested catches.
    • Needs to play through downfield corners to secure catch space.
    • Capable of being a much more effective run blocker."
  • The saga with this team becomes more embarrassing by the hour... Shabbaz Al-Berry and Catherine"Data Points" Hickman are fucking this whole deal up.... I'm near the end of my rope with this team... Take your Essays and Psych tests and jammit up your cooter!

    They're all comfortably parked.  They probably need to change the name of the street where Haslam's NFL Business resides to Park Place or Dumpster Fire Circle...
