I'd JIMP. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4667849 Quote: One day after firing Dick Jauron, the Buffalo Bills have wasted no time identifying a potential replacement.
Buffalo has contacted and is in the process of arranging a meeting with former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, according to two NFL sources. AFC East blog Graham ESPN.com's Tim Graham writes about all things AFC East in his division blog. • Blog network: NFL Nation Shanahan, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Broncos, is said to be willing to listen to the Bills. He has said in the past that he is determined to return to the NFL next season. While Shanahan, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Broncos, is viewed within the Bills organization as a desired candidate, there are other names at or near the top of the team's wish list. For now, the Bills have appointed defensive coordinator Perry Fewell as interim head coach. Fewell is well-respected within the organization and will be given every opportunity to earn the full-time job. The Bills also will investigate options expected to include Florida Tuskers coach Jim Haslett and New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride, both of whom has ties to the Bills. Haslett played linebacker for Buffalo from 1979 to 1985. Gilbride was the Bills offensive coordinator during 2002-03, when quarterback Drew Bledsoe had his most productive seasons with the team. Another candidate on the Bills radar is Marc Trestman, coach of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, who posted a CFL-best 15-3 regular season record and has his team one win from the Grey Cup final. Ironically, Trestman once succeeded Shanahan as the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. Adam Schefter is an ESPN NFL Insider. |

The article says they are going to give Fewell the opportunity first. I hope that is incorrect. Do the right thing, and bring in a former Super Bowl champ coach to get this thing going ASAP, because the team does have some talent. This SHOULD have been done BEFORE the trade deadline, so the new coach could bring in a few of his own character guys; then again, this should have been done 2 years ago. |

Whoever we bring in needs to be brought in asap, so as to be able to sift through this mess, and evaluate the talent/non talent that is here. |

Is Thurman a strong enough voice in Wilson's ear to convince him to do what's necessary? I sure hope so. |

i'd like shanahan. seems reasonable. i mean yea he is a lot of money but he already has a defensive coordinator who is not terrible in fewell. I'd bring Shanny in now as an advisor and then give him the job at the end of the season. being an advisor gives him a look at the bills playbook, and gets him a bit accustomed with the organization. plus then he has a say in the up coming draft. i still want modrak canned. but two big steps. now i'm really beginning to believe that hell froze over. |
