    I'm so back and forth with Glennon, he makes some really good play, and turns around and makes some god awful plays. So up and down, if they could get him 5th-6th rd on....I wouldn't mind it.

    I saw a mock draft of him going in the 1st round to you... But I hope you guys are smarter than that.

    I can handle the Bills being good, I just fucking hate the Patriots and Jets

    I hate being fans of Buffalo sports teams.

    I know our fans are jaded, but I get sick of reading...

    We just hired another Chan Gailey.... (no we didn't, Gailey was an NFL failure, this dude was with the Saints for 3 years when they led the NFL in offense 2 of those years)

    He was a .500 coach in college! (25-25 at Syracuse after 10-37 before that is quite impressive... turning around a college program is a slow process)

    Bills are CHEAP! (Kelly didn't want the Bills, and we thought Marrone as the best option)

    No one else wanted him! (He had interviewed with Phi and Cle and had interviews set up with SD and CHI)

    as great Lovie is with defense, his offenses always underperformed. Never like the feeling of snatching up a just fired coach.

    everyone wanted to interview this guy, I expect good things

    I guess after doing some more research on my part, I'll wait to make my decision on him. HJe looks like an offensive coach, maybe he can turn our offense around.

    As long as his first move is to get rid of Fitz and his second move is to plan to give Spiller the ball as much as possible. Do those 2 thing and ill be pretty supportive of him for a while

    To be honest, I'll be happy with anyone but Fitz. I always liked him, but he just couldn't cut it

    we need a QB, LBs, and a WR

    it'll be great to get Nelson and Jones back healthy

    Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone is not screwing around, folks.
    Mere hours after word leaked that Marrone will hire 33-year-old Nate Hackett as his offensive coordinator, ESPN's Chris Mortensen isreporting that the team has hired former New York Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine for the same role. That means that less than 48 hours after he was introduced as head coach, Marrone's coordinators are in place.
    Jets beat reporter Manish Mehta also reports that assistant defensive backs coach Jim O'Neil will follow Pettine to the Bills, though he does not clarify in which role. A source tells Buffalo Rumblings, however, that previous defensive backs coach George Catavolos will not return next season; we'll leave you to connect the dots.
    Pettine, 46, has been an NFL coach for 11 seasons, working alongside Rex Ryan in each them. He got his pro start with the Baltimore Ravens in 2002, moving up from a generic assistant role to coach the defensive line and outside linebackers before following Ryan to the Jets in 2009. There, he has been Ryan's defensive coordinator for four years, calling the game on Sundays for the last two.
    The Jets have finished in the Top 8 defensively in each of the last four seasons, and Ryan's system is known as one of the more aggressive and exotic in the business. It's unclear how much different Pettine's style is, given that he's worked so closely with Ryan throughout his career. It's therefore also unclear precisely what type of scheme he'll bring to Buffalo. The Jets have operated out of a base 3-4 under Ryan and Pettine, but the Bills are currently better suited to using a base 4-3.

    In a move that has not yet been announced as official, Buffalo Billshead coach Doug Marrone appears set to hire his Syracuse Orange offensive coordinator, Nate Hackett, to the same posting on his new coaching staff in Orchard Park. Hackett, 33, is the son of long-time NFL and college offensive coordinator Paul Hackett - but beyond that, his name is something of an enigma to NFL fans.
    What you need to know: despite an alarming lack of experience (he was an offensive quality control assistant in the NFL for four years - including two in Buffalo under Dick Jauron - before heading to Syracuse in 2010), Hackett is viewed as an up-and-coming coach in the business. After leaving Buffalo to become Marrone's quarterbacks coach, he almost instantaneously earned the right to call plays - a duty he and Marrone shared in 2010, when Marrone was still his own offensive coordinator.
    Hackett became the full-time offensive coordinator for Syracuse in 2011, and is best known for the work he did this past season. Shortly before games were to be played, he and Marrone re-tooled Syracuse's offenseto be a simplified, no-huddle and up-tempo attack that featured elements of the Bills' old K-Gun offense, which Hackett dabbled in while in Buffalo working under Alex Van Pelt.
    What Marrone and Hackett created was an offense not dissimilar to the one that the New Orleans Saints run under Sean Payton. (In fact, Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib has said publicly, "... our playbook is basically theirs.") It fuses a pro-style passing attack based in West Coast principles with spread formations, designed read-option plays and the aforementioned tempo adjustment. The results were impressive: Nassib burst onto the scene as one of the hottest quarterback prospects in the nation (3,749 yards at 8.0 yards per attempt, 26 touchdowns and just 10 picks), Syracuse averaged 36 points per game in their final seven games, and the Orange averaged 476 yards of offense per game - 187 of those on the ground.
    Now, Marrone is bringing Hackett - and probably that offense they designed, which fits a lot of Buffalo's skill players (chiefly C.J. Spiller, despite his propensity to get winded) very well - to Orchard Park. It might be premature to say that the K-Gun is back in Buffalo, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. What's more, the Bills - instead of hiring a coach that's been knee-deep in NFL customs for years - are gambling on a young coach that's proven he can change a system on the fly and grasps emerging concepts. That's not dissimilar to the allure of pursuing a coach like Chip Kelly, who is 16 years Hackett's senior.
