RIPPA Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Giants are interviewing Spags and Pepper Johnson. I am totally cool with both of that. Realizing that Pepper has been an assistant for 15 years now though made me really sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Not sure how I feel about this news. He is definitely a HOF assistant coach and you can't take that away from him. But the last 4 or 5 years the defense has really dropped. what is hard to figure out is whether it was because the talent was getting old really fast and they did a weak job of strengthening up with free agents and draft or it was his coaching. I have a feeling that this defense that we don't like with LeBeau isn't going to dramatically improve with a new coordinator. At least not for a couple years. Hopefully proven wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Schefter reporting that the Bills are bringing Rex Ryan back for a second interview. Apparently he's staying at Pegula's house tonight, and I've heard(twitter) that he wants Trestman as his OC. . . .For better or worse, Ralph would NEVER have done something like that. . .

Gonzo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Reportedly five years, $27.5 million for Rex. Is that a lot? Because that sure seems like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It seems a lot, until you realize coaches like Andy Reid and Jeff Fisher are making $7+ million per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincey Greene Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I think Rex is a great coach who was dragged down by the Jets and I think Trestman is a damn good offensive mind who is wholly unsuited to be a head coach. All seems like a slam dunk to me. I'd be interested to see what Kuetsar thinks of all this. Seriously, if Rex doesn't get stuck rehabbing EJ into a pro QB, they're gonna do big things.

Kuetsar Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Super excited about Rex, less about Greg Roman as OC, but I doubt he can be much worse that Hackett, or any of the other OC's Buffalo has had for the last umpteen years. Not sure why other Bills fans(on twitter or facebook-comments on stories; I don't usually go down that rabbit hole), are so down; I mean the dude took Mark FUCKING Sanchez to the Afc title game, and I doubt seriously that EJ is going to remain the only QB option. . . .

Dolfan in NYC Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ugh. I hate hate hate this hire. The Bills are going to be involved in a lot of 10-7 games next year. Mostly wins too. Damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Dolphin fan hates it, it must be good. . . Ralph Wilson was a HOF owner, but did not spend much on coaches. Whether it works or not, at least Pegula is putting some money into the team. As for Marrone, it looks like he will probably end as a special assistant in Houston. . .LOL. If I was a Falcons fan, I'd be PISSED that they dragged their feat and allowed the Bills the sneak in like this. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm not a football fan. But I do think it would be hilarious (and likely dangerous in Philly) to get a custom made Cowboys jersey that reads "Gov. Christie" on the back. I might do it if they win today.Where can I get a cheap personalized jersey? Everything on NFL.com is way too expensive. There has to be some place I can get this bootlegged, right?

Josh Mann Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I dislike this development, too. Not as bad as the Jets are going to dislike it. Him plus that defense is a scary proposition.

In Philly, shit, don't go anywhere south with it. That said, Amazon would work, but its hard to find a knockoff one, since the NFL is pretty agressive to take out knockoff places.
