Well you are the winner for the biggest waste of Internet ink! Just trying to stir the pot HardHat? And we will trade Myers as soon as we get a massive return for him , so says our GM that you hate so much . I still have faith in his assessment of talent over yours . Don't worry we won't trade Weber. No one will take him unless they are in full tank mode and need to get their goals against up.

I'm talking hockey and things about the NHL.

You and few others just want to continually bait me and do what you are insinuating that I am here doing.

I am not here bashing any poster, but I see you are trying really hard there to do so.

There you go playing the martyr again . You know you are baiting folks and we all see your innuendos. Give it a break things are not that bad here . Ted has to play the hand he was dealt. No one expects him to do anything else. We are rebuilding the best way possible. For long term success not short term mediocrity.

There weren't many other options.

No other options?

That's purely speculation just like my thoughts on why Patty left when he did.

Ted Nolan was a PR move. Pure and simple

And for the record I do in fact like Ted Nolan. Problem with this logic is if you are questioning the hire of Murray by Lafontaine, then why is it wrong to question the hire of Nolan by Lafontaine?

Lafontaine isn't exactly a front office guru like Steve Yzerman

The tank was already in motion when Pat decided against it. He wanted to resign Miller. He wanted the final say on everything and Kim said "no". There was no place else for him to go but out the door.

Ex Bears OC Aaron Kromer joining Bills as OL coach confirmed by John Clayton

http://www.csnchicago.com...ing-rex-ryans-bills-staff

On January 16, 2013, Kromer was announced as the new offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for the Chicago Bears. He joined Marc Trestman's initial coaching staff, after working with Trestman in Oakland.[1] In his first year, the Bears offense had the second-best scoring offense in the league with 445 points, behind the Denver Broncos, while finishing fifth with 4281 passing yards.[2] The offense also broke team records in total yards (6,109), passing yards (4,450), passing touchdowns (32) and first downs (344).[3] On February 12, 2014, offensive line assistant Pat Meyer was named offensive line coach while Kromer, who served as offensive coordinator and line coach in 2013, remains the offensive coordinator and will continue to be involved in all aspects of the offense, including the line with an increased role with the passing game.[4]

Kromer was hired by the New Orleans Saints in 2008 as the running backs coach, before becoming the offensive line coach the following season. Under his tenure as OL coach, the Saints sent five players to a combined nine Pro Bowls, and tied for the fewest sacks in the league with 96.[5] Under Kromer, the Saints line twice won the Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award as the best offensive line in the league (in 2009 and 2011).[6] Kromer filled in as the Saints' interim head coach for the first six games of the 2012 NFL season as Joe Vitt served his six-game suspension.[7]

I did not come here to argue so i'll just walk away.

Nolan was not a PR move, they offered him the contract because they wanted him if he didn't want the job he would not have accepted it. People are wasting to much time and typing about Nolan, both him and Murray knew the deal with this team going forward about how it was set up and what it will take to turn it around. Neither guy Murray or Nolan were forced to take the job, they wanted Nolan so some are going to have to come to terms with that.

Have to wonder if they save that for 2016, there are still some growing pains to go through and the FA/trade market may not bear what they need to make that jump.

I think Murray gets aggressive after this years draft but it may be 2016 for that to happen.

If i was him I would be doing it this year but I also think there will be some teams in horrible cap trouble the next couple years so maybe 2016 is the better year.

I believe Pegula and Lafontaine wanted Nolan. I highly doubt Murray will be attached to him

Murray offered him the contract, if he didn't want to be tied to him Nolan wouldn't be here. Murray had every chance not to bring him back Nolan was free to go and they kept him.

Murray still offered him the contract.

Horrible hire by the Bills as OL coach, they could have done better.

LaFontaine was a front office clown with a short temper. He knows nothing about building a team and wanted to settle with mediocrity.

Everyone that thinks these 2 years have been suffering haven't paid attention for 44 years.

Murray offered him a contract for 3 years because the coach doesn't really matter who the coach is for the next 3 years.
He knew we would be awful this year. And have himself some leeway should we not get McEichel. People expecting playoffs next year are expecting too much.

Would everyone be cool if we moved Nikita Zadorov,1st to get back in the top 5 ?

i think he do it .

Hell no not zadorov....

I didn't say anything about playoffs and you are wrong, they wanted Nolan and don't view him as a stop gap. People need to let it go already.

You should put some Old Spice or some Brut up in that!

It wouldn't shock me if they keep Stafford, that would really show me someone is clueless.

If that's the case, this franchise is even farther away from a championship than we all originally thought.

Aaron Kromer Has had a pretty good track record as a Oline choach have no problem with this move at all .. Pick up mike iupati to replace pears

Isn't he the guy that threw Cutler under the bus and then cried about it?

We will see on that, he is here and nobody forced to be. Things can change in time we don;'t know

I thought everyone already knew Murray kept Nolan on to get through this rebuilding phase and would bring in his own coach when we are ready to be good. Some people are just realizing this?
