Like clockwork, four hours or so after a post in which I ranted about Jauron (and eventually Edwards) departure from the Bills, voila!, Jauron is gone. Wow. I guess Ralph really does read these posts (which... I heard he does).

Okay, all joking aside - Perry Fewell is the new sheriff and I'm glad. I don't know if he'll last more than these last seven games but you gotta' love his "play like Hell and win" mentality. It sure beats that conservative, firm-lipped and non-explosive style of ol' whats-his-name. Change is good because it brings a new mentality immediately. Doesn't mean the Bills will win but they should show a real fiery disposition against the Jags. Can't wait. At this point, and until the season ends, it's all about small victories.

Now, for next season - everyone is gonna' clamor and howl for Cowher, Dungy, Shanahan or Holmgren to be brought on-board. And though I think the Bills have the coachable weapons to draw a name that big, I don't think they'll do it. It's not their style, whether it be for money or personal reasons, whatever.

But the one coach I feel could fly under the radar and land in Buffalo is Brian Billick. Though a big name in his own right, in comparison to the other coaches out there waiting for gigs, Billick is down the list a bit. I like Billick myself, always have liked his approach. He's a smart coach with good ways of doing things (except that whole Kyle Boller decision - I can only hope, if he does become Buffalo's front-man, that he and his people learned not to draft garbage at QB).

To be realistic, Cowher isn't coming to Buffalo because he's waiting for John Fox to pull a Jauron. Dungy, I don't believe, will coach at all in 2010. Shanahan is already hanging out in the doorway of Jim Zorn's office. Holmgren, according to tonight's rumor from Jim Brown, is already basically "a Brown". As far as I'm concerned, that leaves Billick and Marty Schottenheimer - and frankly - I'd take either/or at this point.

No more unsung hero coordinators (unless Fewell wins out), no more no-name no-personality stoic faces. I want a coach that gets fired up and screams during games, gets out there and becomes a part of the team - uh... a coach. Not another robot with a clipboard, who when the game-plan fails, doesn't have an answer.

It's been a long-time-coming, Bills fans. Time to get someone in here that gives a damn, and most importantly, proves to us he gives a damn. Sometimes actions speak louder than words.

As of now - my vote is for Billick with Marty in a close second.
