Lombardi says Bills have made a decision on HC

PrintMichael Lombardi said on NFL Total Access tonight that a source inside the Buffalo Bills organization told him they have made their decision on who they want to go with.
This leads me to believe it is either Bill Cowher or Marty Schottenheimer.
As far as we know, they have only interviewed Perry Fewell and Leslie Frazier officially, with suspected "secret" talks with Cowher; plus, you have the relationship between Marty and GM Buddy Nix.
If the Bills really have made their decision on coach, who else could it be?
Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

I saw it on NFL Total Access as well. But he actually said something more along the lines of “I’ve spoken to a team source who says they are very close to making a decision and they think they have their man.”
You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.
Oh and he also said the source didn’t tell him who that man was just “they think they have their man”

The Minnestoa DC?
Frasier (sp)? That was today, wasn’t it?

Agreed
Especially since the talk of someone with HC’ing experience.

Mine would be too
But that’s mostly due to not interviewing other potential options. I could live with Frazier if they went through the process and interviewed a good 5-7 guys and determined he was the best for the franchise. I would not be happy if he’s one of two guys interviewed, and got the job.

It can’t be Frazier if a hiring is imminent. They can’t hire him until the Vikings are out of the playoffs.

But
couldn’t they have made a verbal agreement?

He didn’t say the hiring was imminent. Just the decision.

I can’t see them hiring Frazier without doing more interviews with other candidates….I can’t see Frazier or Fewell as the next head coach.
I agree. Unless it was Cowher or Shotty there is really no reason to rush into this without doing more interviews. We are the only team with an opening right now.

Maybe Frazier knocked it out of the park
He seems like the odds on favorite if this report is true.
Fewell and Fraizer are the only two that have had “official” interviews. I think Fewell would have really had to hit a home-run in his interview for the Bills to cut their search short and settle on him. If it was Cowher or someone big, I don’t think it would come out like this. The Bills wouldn’t be making the final decision, Cowher would.
If these reports are true, I’d bet good money on it being Frazier.

The Bills could be agreeing to a Cowher or Schottenheimer's contract demands....

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
If they hire Frazier or Fewell, and not interview anyone else, I will drop off all my Bills clothes, memorbilia and OBD.
This franchise makes me wanna vomit sometimes. Can you tell I’m nervous..

BTW, Who is this Joe Logan guy that is all of a sudden the Ultimate Insider?
This guy’s tweets are now making news on Profootballtalk.com, his tweet from yesterday said
“Cowher OK with what the BIlls will offer Salary wise, but looking for commitment from RB for player budget.”
Who is this guy?
He is from East Aurora….. that’s about all I know.

Remember him from Chappelle's Show?
TB: “Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan…let me tell you something you might not know about me…I smoke rocks…”
Same guy right?
Oh Joe Logan…??

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
Does makes me wonder.....
With the comment that the Bills believe they have made a decision and have their guy, I wonder if that means Ralph and Russ agreed to whatever playing spending Cowher was looking for in Logan’s tweet???? Hmm…

My "source" says Marty
I spoke to a former NFL Scout yesterday, Russ Lande, who still has many connections in the NFL, he also writes for the Sporting News now, he said he thinks it will most def be Marty
I talk to Russ once per week, if anyone wants me to ask him anything about the upcoming draft, let me know, he publishes GM Jr each year before the draft, it is a book of Scouting Reports on hundreds of college players
Why did this have to happen during the BCS National Championship game?!
I just had gotten comfortable on the couch and watch a great football game… Now I’m forced to multi-task!
p.s. I hope McCoy is okay and will return…. I really wanted to see him play in a big game.
John I.
Was thinking the same thing.
Too much to drink tonight to have to multitask…

I think you just did
I really wanted to see him play in a big game.
And that is about how long he would last in the NFL too.
For those of us who wish Cowher would accept the Bills HC job, I recently heard some good advice....."You can crap in one hand and wish in the other, and see which one fills up first..." - Burgess Merideth
How much of an interview would Nix have to do with Marty? He could probably have a quick phone conversation with him and seal the deal. I will be very happy with Marty returning to the franchise that drafted him.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
That would be AWESOME
I’ve always been a huge fan of Martyball… Woud be perfect for Buffalo.

just so happens that i'm not doing work ALL the time
Especially not during the National Championship game. I read BR still alot, but don’t have time to read most of comments or comment myself…

I’ve been managing to keep up. Though admittedly my wife can’t remember what I look like and I skim comments a lot more than I used to.

I live on this site and I don’t read them all either. If anybody was pathetic enough to specifically spend their time paying attention to all my comments, I tend to do most of my commenting in the fanposts because they stick around for awhile.

Nothing more, of course. LOL
