How the Bills landed Doug Marrone

Some fans would complain if we resurrected Vince Lombardi to coach the Bills.

Lombardi is too old and has been out of football for over 40 years. put me in this club

Honestly...how badly does skelator need the attention? This is just absurd. He pulled the same nonsense with Fitz, which he was so completely wrong on it was amazing. You think after making yourself look like that, you may back off a bit. Not with our buddy. He just keeps marching forward, making himself look like a jackass.

Personally, i think he might be the best thread creator on the board.

I thought he just wanted to pull our legs at first.

But this guy is serious as one can be.

I personally can't stand to read his posts, the only reason I haven't ignored him yet is because I like seeing TWSS put him in his place.

I thought the guy was banned too? Man it was better like that.

You won't see it anymore. I have him on ignore. It's not fun anymore.

This was a great article. I was wondering how it all unfolded, and this explains how they went through the process. I just have to smh at people who invent reasons to dislike whatever the Bills do. People kvetch when the process takes too long. They kvetch when the candidate is not the "name" candidate. It's just what people do.

I'm grateful to see a definite change in how fast things are getting done at OBD. And yes, when there are SIX HC vacancies (or was it five?), you don't have the luxury of sitting on your hands too long.

What makes you think that Vince Lombardi would be any good in today's NFL? Just because he had success years ago doesn't mean he could adapt to today's game. So they named the trophy after him. Big deal. What have you done for me lately? (Yes, this is tongue-in-cheek)

I am in the process of reading this thread and haven't finished yet. It is SHOCKING to me in what SKELATOR is saying. He is making my “VINCE YOUNG” case (to a degree) all over again, when in THIS INSTANCE he is touting how important a PROVEN winning history is when filling the coaching position and using that position to QUESTION the hiring based on Chris Brown's ability to write the EXPLANATION in a news report that is HEAVILY laden toward implying the hire was a PERSONALITY BASED one that SKELATOR is pointing out that is WRONG with this picture in hiring a new Bills coach. SKELATOR was Ryan Fitzpatrick's most ardent and most “fiercest” protector, as SKELATOR was saying that Vince Young winning a National Championship, turning around a losing franchise, the Tennessee Titans, in his FIRST SEASON after the Titans started 0-4 with Kerry Collings and said Vince Young's CAREER WINNING RECORD meant absolutely nothing and that is why Vince Young should have been competing with Tyler Thigpen for the BACKUP JOB in Buffalo, rather than competing with Ryan Fitzpatrick for the starting position. If I was a POLICE DETECTIVE looking for evidence searching out who SKELATOR was that wrote what he said disparaging Vince Young during Preseason and SKELATOR made his OVERLY SUPPORTIVE statements in support for Ryan Fitzpatrick starting for the Bills without Vince Young EVEN GETTING A TRY FOR THE JOB last year; I would first check to see if SKELATOR tracks didn't lead back to Ryan Fitzpatrick writing the posts, or Ryan Fitzpatrick's wife or his parents writing as SKELATOR. It was apparent to me that SKELATOR is related to Ryan Fitzpatrick IN SOME FASHION! Vince Young wouldn't know me from Adam's (of the Adam and Eve fame in the Bible) house cat. I was basing my stance SOLELY on Vince Young's winning record and felt Vince Young could help the Bills end their misery of losing football games for so long. But, SKELATOR shot down any attempts by me to say that a WINNING HISTORY in the NFL was relevant, WHEN you are the Bills and SAY you want to win football games.

And NOW, I am reading “THIS” from SKELATOR talking about the coaching hire, in terms, of talking about the coach NOT having enough winning behind him to have been CHOSEN to be coach. It is UNBELIEVABLE.

Hmm you make a good point there, and it seems you caught me in a pretty bad contradiction.

I would try to justify my stance by arguing that a head coach has more influence over a winning record than a QB. A bad QB can win on a good team, but a bad HC won't get wins on a good team. Perhaps I'm wrong in all of this.
