Per thefan; Holmgren is in Cleveland, Shanahan in Buffalo

[cowboyjoe]

Agree.

I think things are to far gone in buffalo, to turn it around quickly. Shanahan needs to wait and see if fisher leaves tennesse or jacksonville coach is fired, or Commander coach is fired or san diego coach.

Shanahan needs to go where there is talent on a team like the cowboys had in 2007, when wade took over and took the cowboys to a 13-3 record.

 

[casmith07]

Bad news, I bet you Shanahan would of brought us a couple rings with the talent on this roster.

Yeah because all that talent in Denver he was able to put it together.

Took him long enough with Elway, and then after that he single-handedly destroyed Denver as a team with his bone-headed personnel decisions.

And for the record, ANYONE would be a good hire for Buffalo or Cleveland at this point.

 

[cowboyjoe]

All we need now is for Jerry to resign Wade to a new 5 year deal for the trifecta of projectile vomit to be complete.

Lord, I hope not, dont think i could stand to wait another 5 years for wade to win. I think wade is a fine defensive coordinator, but that is all he is.

Again, I could be wrong, and i hope that wade can prove me wrong and win it all, but I dont want to wait another 3 to 5 years for wade to put it together.

Lol, yeah he just took them to back-to-back superbowls.

 

[casmith07]

Lol, yeah he just took them to back-to-back superbowls.

And that was that. With that argument, you could say that Jimmy Johnson would be a great hire for anyone right now, despite his utter mediocrity after his "back-to-back" Super Bowls with the Cowboys. Remember him in Miami with Dan Marino? Me neither.

and Super Bowls is TWO WORDS

 

[Crad|e]

Shanahan put out a playoff contending team just about every year he's coached, I dont know how you make fun of that.

 

[Meat-O-Rama]

I really dont want either one of them either, i want a young fiery coach, or a ooach possibly like urban meyer. Yeah i know he is a college coach and might be out of his league, but jimmy johnson has won championships with miami and so has meyer.

The only one considering hiring Meyer is Dan Snyder

 

[hutch1254]

Shanahan has not visited Buffalo, is not in Buffalo, has not been contacted by Buffalo. A lot of premature stuff going on.

And frankly I'd be shocked if he came here if offered a job. There are lot deeper issues here than just the state of the team this season. This is a bigger fix it job than most people know. It's because Buffalo's grease fire doesn't get the media attention because the Oakland, Washington, Cleveland grease fires of the world are sexier to report about.

There are great fans, they deserve alot better than what they are getting. Buffalo has been offering rays of hope to sell tickets/sell hope for years. Upper management realized they're finally out of hope to sell. Best case scenario...they finally hire a true GM since Polian/John Butler and they take a B level pay scale coach...Jim Fassel / Jim Haslett. A semi sexy name at half the price. Ralph loves the cheap coach and Ralph still calls the shots.

 

[RealCowboyfan]

Middle of the season? Where is ripley's believe it or not?

 

[Ring6]

Buffalo is covered. Didn't you see - one of 'em is Canadian.

 

[BeWare94]

Oh well. I gave up on Holmgren when the Cleveland rumors first started. Shanahan would be option B, but he probably would be anxious for a place like Buffalo where he could exert more authority.

It is irrelevant anyways. We will continue with what we have. Family picture and all of that.

I live in Cleveland, like 3 minutes on the freeway from Cleveland Browns Stadium. Mike Holmgren may BE in Cleveland but I find it hard to believe that he actually ends up here. Holmgren is no fool and I'm sure he realizes how dysfunctional the Browns ORGANIZATION is right now under Randy Lerner.

As members of this board, if one of us behaves really inappropriately...word gets around. Do you really think it's any different in the NFL? Players and coaches workout and train and attend seminars and clinics in the offseason and you know they talk about their trade, their LOVE.

Since the Clowns have returned in '99 they've continually started over about every three years with a coaching and front office purge that would make a supermodel blush. Under Lerner, it's gotten progressively worse. It looks like the Browns will possibly start over again next season with deposed GM George Kokinnis and embattled HC Eric Mangini on the hot seat only 10 months after being hired.

Enter Mike Holmgren. Unless it's an INSANE amount of cash there is nothing appealing about the Browns job. He has a legit Super Bowl pedigree making several trips to the big game as both an offensive coordinator and head coach and being triumphant in his fair share of them. If he returns to the Browns and succeeds, it's nothing new as he took over and remade dreadful franchises in Green Bay and Seattle. If he fails, he'll be a lot richer but his legacy will be forever tarnished when he is fired by a knee jerk Browns brass that listens more to the fan base than the voice of reason.

For these reasons it makes a whole lot more sense that he would look at the Cowboys this offseason if Wade Philips were vanquished.

:laugh2:

I saw that, too and chuckled, but it's not funny. I was really laughing at the inherent irony. Football is a MAN'S game; dirty and grimy, no room for the faint of heart. When that fact is juxtaposed against the nature of the game of you can't help but laugh.

When we've gotten so hypersensitive that we are censoring a man's first name because it has become colloquialized slang to indicate a man's genitalia we are on the way to semantic Hell. ROTFlmao! What are we doing?! LOL.

I guess if your first name is Peter or your last name is Johnson you better watch out...you're probably next! God forbid if your name is Peter Johnson!!! Sad really.

 

[dmq]

I would love to see Shanahan in Buffalo. I go to a Buffalo game every year and would like to see a Buffalo team be good again. Many more years of this and they won't be inBuffalo anymore and that would be a shame.
