1. Unless Minnesota exits the playoffs early, the Bills can’t hire Frazier right away, anyway. So, I had assumed all along they would talk to others.
2. With comments in recent days (esp. Ralph’s) it appears they are preparing to tell us that (insert coordinator here) is the best coach for the team. While that may be true, I’ve said in earlier posts that they’ve lost my patience (it only took 1/3 of my life). Also, past experience might be causing me to read into things that aren’t there….can anyone blame me?
3. Ultimately, no matter who they hire, they’ll convince me he’s the next Lombardi and I’ll be right there at training camp hook, line and sinker. They say a sucker is born every minute and I think all of those people have become Bills fans in the last 10 years.
4. Schottenheimer looked pretty darn good yesterday. When every team in the league knows what you are going to do and you still do it: Then your head coach has done a great job establishing the teams identity and telling his coordinators to in no way get away from that and Schotty did a great job being able to run even though the Bengals knew it was coming.

Since the Frazier comment about club house leader, I thought I would be reading about suicides today. Some of you need to get outside more, really. Frazier would not be that bad of a choice but what we are seeing is the process of hiring a head coach. We should and are interviewing all canidates that are believed to have the capabilitiy of running an entire football team.

How rediculous will it be when this process is all over and Marty Schottenheimer is named our head coach. Wouldn’t that be consistent with buddy’s press conference and wouldn’t it be consistent with the Buddy Nix hiring of GM. Buddy was in place last January very possibly for the purpose of GM in 2010. Marty Schottenheimer could very well be assembling his staff while we are interviewing other canidates as Brian Billick. There are sources and leaks all over the news studio’s but how many of them seen Buddy Nix. I will give Mack credit for bring it to light sooner than anyone although MRW and others were real close to his availability right on our front porch. Lets stop jumping off the bridge everytime someone gives a good interview. The head coach is just one step in this process, lets hope it is someone with a stealth following of coordinators that will follow him.

Head Coaching Experience, a good teacher that can convert a rookie into a veteran by game eight and someone that can recognize talent of a player to help the team at a position that they may not have played before like the guard for San Diego who was drafted as a DL and know is a pro bowl player at OG. Let the process run it’s course, let Buddy and Russ do their job and stop jumping to conclusions like we know more than they do. Who cares what our friends think of an opposing teams coordinator. I’ll take Buddy and Russ’s choice which is probably already working for the team but behind the scenes.

But not a Rivera? I thought they couldn’t interview any coaches besides during the bye week until their teams are eliminated?

To interview Riveria and Grimm in the same week with both teams still involved in post season play. I realize Riveria was available this week, but was Grimm. I am thinking that a west coast plane trip and two canidates, one in California the other in Az would make sense to do both in the same trip. I wouldn’t fly out to the west coast twice unless it was absolutely critical in my search.

I guess I do like the idea of interviewing a lot of guys, and I think, now that Seattle may be off the board, the more the better.But Nix did say he wanted someone with experience, I know I would…

Someone who doesn’t run the tampa 2 would be nice;)

So where do I send my check to get a “We want Grimm” sign going?
