WildCard Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Posted January 9, 2019 And in case you wanted any more reasons to hate Doug Whaley At the time, he seethed. Smith, whose Buffalo Bills jersey number is retired, and some of his Super Bowl teammates wanted to endorse a candidate for the team’s coaching vacancy. Bills president Russ Brandon wouldn’t return Smith’s calls. “I tried to talk to several people,” Smith said. Two sources with knowledge of the Bills’ 2015 coaching search said Brandon and GM Doug Whaley — and, by extension owners Terry and Kim Pegula — were concerned Reich would be too submissive to keep former teammates from meddling with football decisions. “When we would all go out and act like idiots,” left tackle Will Wolford said, “Frank wasn’t with us. “I can see Bruce being frustrated. They wouldn’t listen to him. It was, like, ‘Hey, I’m not asking you to hire my buddy I partied with. I’m recommending the best guy I know who would be the best coach.’ That was always Frank.” “I was pitching Frank to the Bills then,” Wolford said, “and I wish they would have hired him the last time, as well. “But it sure looks like the Bills have a pretty good head coach-quarterback combo in the works right now.” https://theathletic.com/757350/2019/01/09/we-knew-he-would-excel-frank-reichs-bills-brothers-are-rooting-for-him-even-though-they-couldnt-get-him-to-buffalo/ Quote

Granted he wouldn't because we don't have Ty Hilton, that offensive line, or Luck. But there's little to no doubt Reich is a better HC, and there is certainly no doubt he'd be better for Allen's development Quote
shrader Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 I got an email today from the Bills today with a stadium survey. I'm not wasting my time with it, but the text in the email said it's about both renovation and new locations. Quote

There's some section 8 housing and older industrial area they could put the stadium. Rumor is a convention center would be part of the project. Quote

I always thought the stadium would go in the Perry projects (the area you mentioned above), but it's interesting to hear that all of this is presumably moving forward. There was just too much investor development down there (Riverworks, Labatt, Hofbrauhaus, etc.) not to read between the lines. Quote

Anyway, it's also possible Reich learned a lot in Philly working with Doug Pederson, and wouldn't have been the same coach had we hired him. That said, I definitely wish we had a coach with Reich's mentality as opposed to McDermott's. Quote
LGR4GM Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 It's a rumor that it is moving forward but until I see something, I wait. The development in and adjacent to Perry Projects though... makes you wonder. Quote

Oh, I definitely want to re-sign him for his offensive skill. People just seem to be confused about why I hate him so much, and it's because he does stuff like that. I'm not okay with it just because he's on our side now--I hate that kind of rat-like play. He's a low key Marchand. Quote

He's a low key Marchand. He's whiny, a diver, and plays a little dirty. But still, he's not cheap shotting people like Kadri and Marchand do. I get what you're saying tho Quote
