Anyone who thinks the Bills couldn't talk to him already is a JDub.

I don't get why the Bills would fire Rex, IMO hes making that garbage team look pretty decent. I mean I could be wrong of course but I think the Bills don't have a good squad outside of McCoy

My only concern is his age. As he is getting up in age.

Tweet from Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) - @rolljags_94 If I wanted a job, I would want it to appear I was desirable. Read into that how'd like.

Tweet from Curry (@rolljags_94) - @mike_e_kaye kind of like what Caldwell said about the rams firing fisher making them fire Gus quicker.

Tweet from Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) - @rolljags_94 Basically, if I were Tom's agents, I would try to drum up interest. He's 71, he has to be appealing to make himself desirable.

Tweet from Curry (@rolljags_94) - @mike_e_kaye Caldwell seemed very interested.

Tweet from Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) - @rolljags_94 Again, I think he was being polite. He and Tom come from the Polian umbrella. I'd say it depends on if they mesh.

Tweet from Curry (@rolljags_94) - @mike_e_kaye what do you think of the Mike smith rumors?

Tweet from Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) - @rolljags_94 I think he's the favorite, imo.

Mike Kaye's Twitter convo just now.

Quote:I look at Caldwell and see tens of millions of dollars wasted on blown free agents, 4 consecutive top 5 picks, 75 percent of which have looked like busts for the most part. No GM ever selected in the top 5 five years running, yet here we are, led by everybody's damn golden boy.


Shack Harris was a better GM than Caldwell. Not by much, but he was better.

What?  You must be smoking stuff.  Caldwell and not even close.  We can go pick for pick if you like. 

 

I don't care for popular opinions.  Facts dont care for feelings.

Right. If only popular options mattered we would not have Blake Bortles, Allen Hurns (who should have been drafted), Yannick Ngakoue, and Telvin Smith.

I dont think Charles Robinson said that out of thin air. He's probably heard TC wants to coach but if that doesn't happen than he'd be open to joining the organization in the front office.

how big of a problem fo they have?

You missed the fallacy in the second statement.

Everything I read about Tom Coughlin is he wants to coach again. Not "coach or front office." Not "front office if I can't be a coach." Just "I want to keep coaching." Until NFL.com reports he is open to an executive position, any such rumor is total nonsense - especially if it comes from Twitter.

A big one.

NFL.com?

 

LOL

 

I'll take the word of a reliable and verified reporter like Charles Robinson.

 

Go away.

I agree. Even though Tom Coughlin himself said that he would be open to running a team, I won't believe till NFL.com reports. Tom Coughlin isn't very reliable when it comes to Tom Coughlin news.

Does anyone remember how putrid Eli Manning was before Couglin and co got there? I do.

 

Then I think of Blake. This should be a no-brainer.

Manning was traded to the giants after coughlin got there

I will never get how people think a 71 year old can be a successful nfl head coach.  He has not done squat in going on 5 years.  And yes he won two superbowls but one was by luck. Had tyree not caught the ball with his helmit. Giants would of not won one of them.  I respect Tom and did an awesome job here.  But I also was a teen at the time not 37. 

 

The guy will be 71 years old. That factor has to come into play.

The Mario Manningham catch was pretty miraculous too. Obviously a lot of teams won super bowls with miracle plays like the Tyree and Manningham plays though. 

Quote:Manning was traded to the giants after coughlin got there

You're right. I have him confused with a different guy.


My bad.

The "too old" thing is ridiculous. You guys just voted in a guy who is OLDER than Tom Coughlin as your president. 

 

They didn't win the Superbowl by luck at all. They got lucky on one play but you have to be in that position for a lucky play to come off.

 

Coughlin would be a fantastic hire but he will probably wind up coaching the Bills and will push the Patriots for the AFC East next year while we're still bottom feeding with Kyle Shanahan or some other bum.

I also don't understand why his age is a factor.

 

Head coach, doesn't mean he has to run drills and plays, it just means that he designs them and that the team of players and coaches follow his philosophy.
