Bills contact Shanahan about coach opening
Link Here
By Adam Schefter ESPN Archive One day after firing Dick Jauron, the Buffalo Bills have wasted no time identifying a potential replacement. Buffalo has contacted and is in the process of arranging a meeting with former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, according to two NFL sources. Shanahan, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Broncos, is said to be willing to listen to the Bills. He has said in the past that he is determined to return to the NFL next season. While Shanahan, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Broncos, is viewed within the Bills organization as a desired candidate, there are other names at or near the top of the team's wish list. For now, the Bills have appointed defensive coordinator Perry Fewell as interim head coach. Fewell is well-respected within the organization and will be given every opportunity to earn the full-time job. The Bills also will investigate options expected to include Florida Tuskers coach Jim Haslett and New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride, both of whom has ties to the Bills. Haslett played linebacker for Buffalo from 1979 to 1985. Gilbride was the Bills offensive coordinator during 2002-03, when quarterback Drew Bledsoe had his most productive seasons with the team. Another candidate on the Bills radar is Marc Trestman, coach of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, who posted a CFL-best 15-3 regular season record and has his team one win from the Grey Cup final. Ironically, Trestman once succeeded Shanahan as the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. Adam Schefter is an ESPN NFL Insider. |

Regardless of what Pioli does this offseason, the Bills are ahead of him if those guys develop.

Shanahan will coach in 2010, but I doubt it's in BUF... he's a solid coach and knows how to win. His final years in Denver were just products of time and being worn out, he lost something... but it happens to a lot of coaches. He'll be back and he'll be successful.
Shanahan took a team with Elway and a few other nice 'foundational' players, but he built that team into a championship team. And, while they didn't get to SB after Elway, they still had solid success... he was asked to do something that few HC's achieve... get back to the SB a third time with an entirely new set of players. Just compare the 96-99 teams with those from 2001-2005 ... lots of change, but they were successful even with Plummer. Compare the team that he built from 2005 to 2008 and it was again vastly different, his issues were defense... he could never find the DC or stick with one long enough to make it work. So, he was shown the door.
