Dave Gettleman's Head Coaches

[CRA]

Gettleman came in specifically stating he wasn't just going to throw everyone out and replace them with his own people.

And only an idiot would fire a head coach coming off that kind of season with a future looking bright.

Some may say only an idiot would extend a coach who displayed coaching concerns in 2011, 2012, and to open 2013.....all 3 seasons showed some repeative questionable HC decision making.

and we see it again now in 2014.

I like post # 173 in that thread - the Creepster

 

 

Sorry guys much as Id like RR to suceed Im not buying in to him yet as a HC. We got some very lucky breaks this year that won us games,  had not a damn thing to do with RR and his coaching decisions.

DG went all in way way too early on extending Rivera.and why didn't he just wait and stand pat?didn't Rivera in fact have another year left on his contract?starting to look like a Hurney 2.0 move if you ask me,geeeezzze!

I still think Dave gets a lot of hype....too much.

Dave is the one who extended Ron too soon. Dave is the one who thought renting a DE was pretty much worth downgrading an OL, secondary, and ST by large margins. Dave is the one who just had one of his draft picks essentially stolen.

First round picks IMO aren't how you judge a GM. Dave gets "meh" from me so far. I still think his vision is exactly what we have watched in NY. A very in consistent product. Yeah, they lucked into some rings. I don't think NY is the model despite the rings.

All valid points. Im not sitting here saying dave will do this, this, and this or that he has been awesome. Im pretty much just saying im excited to see how he will put this team together going forward and what it will look like when hurneys finger prints are gone. Sure im optimistic but its more just curiosity of what kind of different team we are looking at.

And i now think gettleman wasnt trying to piece together this team for a run this year. I think hes got the fututre 100% in mind.

Quick trivia question: Who was Jim Kelly's backup during the glory years with the Bills?

 

Hint: He's known for leading two of the biggest comebacks in NFL history.  He was also the very first starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, and he's considered a potential head coaching candidate for next season.

Frank Riech? If I spelled it right.

Frank Reich in the 1992 AFC wildcard led the Buffalo Bills to a 41-38 victory in OT against the Houston Oilers (Tennessee Titans).also,the Bills were behind by 32pts at one point in the game making it the greatest come from behind victory in NFL history.

Its probably about time for the Bill Cowher threads.

Give me the Cowher threads!!!!!!!!!

I'm so tired of these Pep Hamilton and Candidates threads.

[Jon Snow]

What's he doing now?

Gettleman is nothing like Hurney.

Don't know that yet in reality.

Him being hired and told you have to straighten out x, y, and z is a job assignment. Not loving all Hurney guys doesn't mean he won't overly show love to his guys once they get established.

This was his first real offseason. You could easily argue what hurt us most was the front offices decision to "over invest " at one postion (DE) at a clear detriment to the rest of the team. Being against the Hardy tag can be viewed for the same reasons as being against signing 2 guys to featured RB money
