that's true. he's also made a lot of RBs look really good. we'd need a G and T, but i wanted to upgrade there anyway. Brick and Mangold are versatile i agree. Winters and Aboushi haven't impressed me. maybe a change in scheme would actually suit them. Dozier is an unknown. it may not be that far fetched to achieve quickly. Franklin as the G in FA, and 1st round pick spent on T. i'd be ok with that.
I think Marrone's the best choice but even though Cable is being trashed I'd have no problem with his selection. He could the best of the lot: as head coach.
At first I liked Marrone because of his experience coaching Oline since I believe thats what wins championships but ended up voting for Quinn once I did some research and realized after two years the Bills had a very pedestrian run game and pass protection.
At this moment I would rank the candidates as: 1. Dan Quinn 2. Doug Marrone 3. Frank Reich All three have connections if briefly to the Jets. I always said we needed an offensive minded HC, but if the new HC has any idea about the offensive side of the ball it would be an improvement over Rex. the biggest thing I want is true competition at all positions and another option at QB I think if given the same opportunities, Simms would even be better than Smith. Coaches are based on the QB and how they take you, so I would trade for Glennon since Mariota is out of reach. STAY AWAY FROM WINSTON!
After thinking about this for a bit, If the above list is all we have to choose from, I would choose kubiak, he has done a good job on the offensive side of the ball, I'm guessing he would do a good job of hiring the right guy to take over the defense. DM scares me because I'm afraid that Hackett will come along as our OC and I cant take another 3 years of terrible playcalling. Quinn is just the trendy coordinator, how do we know if he can manage all 3 aspects of a team the way they should be run? I don't want a repeat of Rex.
just throwing it out there, but Kubiak could bring Wade Phillips back as the DC. i wouldn't mind that combo. but please, no Wide 9 Wade, utilize the 3-4 talent we have. want no part of Marrone or Cable. I'm thinking Shanahan or Kubiak, if we want experience. Quinn or Bowles, if they think either of these guys are legit, not just coordinators coaching good current talent pools. the more important hire is the GM in my opinion, and none of these coaches are worth signing before the GM. Let the GM be a part of the hiring process, even if the coach won't directly report to them. need to be cohesive.
It's tomorrow @AdamSchefter: Doug Marrone arrives in NJ later today for Sunday's scheduled interview with Jets. Marrone scheduled to meet Monday with Falcons.
If we want to go offense, why not Josh McDaniels? We could get back at NE for stealing Revis from us!
Watching the Panthers game has reminded me of Sean McDermott....his defenses have been great! I'd bring him in for an interview when Carolina gets eliminated.
Kubiak would be a nice higher. The offenses he's a part of are always good. Thats an important thing for a HC, the side of the ball they coach performs well. I liked the idea of Marrone but after researching his teams a little more closely i'm not hit for him anymore. Kubiak would be my guy.
Kubiak failed as HC of the Texans, he never got them over the hump despite a ton of talent. Sorry, but he would be a disaster.
Yeah Teryl Austin from Detroit. My dream scenario would be for them to hire Marrone on the spot so we can't.
I think they're going defense like a Rex or Quinn kind of guy, they had a terrible defense last year and need a spark there.
He would not be a disaster. Define fail? To me failing is someone like Lane Kiffin, Chan Gailey in Buffalo, those are failure. Kubiak didnt get his team over the hump. But he didnt fail. He did a nice job. Calling him a disaster isn't fair. Won a division title, won a couple playoff games. There is potential there. There is a much better chance of a guy like Doug Marrone being a disaster then Kubiak.
