The Bills held a press conference this morning to announce that head coach Mike Mularkey resigned last night due to personal issues. Those issues, apparently, have to do with being a giant pussy who can’t take a little criticism from the fans and media. Jeez, it’s not like he’s coaching in New York. Buffalo has one newspaper and some of the most loyal fans in sports. I seriously doubt he had garbage strewn across his lawn like Tommy Maddox did in Pittsburgh.
Anyway, the three people the Bills are reportedly considering for head coach are former Saints coach Jim Haslett(please tell me this is a joke), former Bills defensive cooridanator Ted Cottrell, and current Bills special teams coach Bobby April. Wow.
Outside of Joe Theismann, I don’t know of anyone that thinks Jim Haslett is a good coach. Ted Cottrell is a good defensive coordinator, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be a good head coach, plus he’s spent the last few years up in Minnesota with Mike Tice, which can’t be a good thing. As for Bobby April, as good as the Bills special teams are, I can’t see making him a head coach. It would be like naming your place kicker as captain of the team. Whatever. Marv Levy’s back so that’s some small comfort. I gots to get ready for the family visiting this weekend. Later.
