Well, he is being rather affirmative about it.

[sven233]

Nothing like breaking news in the middle of the night!  I don't know much about how he coaches, but I kind of like the unknown at this point.  LET'S GO BILLS!!!!

So, let's review what has happened at 5:00am on 1-6-2013.........

NHL Lockout is over.........
The Bills have a new head coach.......

Who needs sleep!!!!!

[kdiggz]

With Marrone we have no OC or DC. Is this for serious? He wasn't a play calling OC for the Saints. I never even thought this was a possibility. I'm shocked

Yeah......there has been guessing, but this is different........

Pretty sure this is done with the way it was written........

[Hazed and Amuzed]

Well this sucks if its true.

[Joe_the_6_pack]

Oh no this may mean we draft nassib in rd 1 too. Not happy about any of this.

Marrone was the consolation prize for Cleveland if they couldn't get Chip Kelly. Why would we want Cleveland's backup plan? I just don't get this at all. Who is going to be OC and DC?

Nassib is one of the best QB's in the draft!

He also said it was 95% sure that Reid was signing with the Cards and that Kelly is about to sign with the Browns.

[kdiggz]

He wouldn't report it if it wasn't true. I'm going to barf. We need a good OC and DC now. We are in trouble

[Barry Zuckerkorn]

Great move. This is the first time the Bills have ever excited me with a head coaching hire.

[The Beautiful East]

This is a guy who has just rebuilt a college program in just about no time. I like that. I like Ryan nassib, too, by the way. I REALLY like that the Bills left the beaten track of NFL-retreads looking for a new HC.

[kdiggz]

Convincing teenagers to come to Syracuse is one thing. Running an NFL team is another. Of which he has no experience. And you guys are excited? I'm shocked. This guy isn't an offensive OR defensive genius. Unless they have a top notch OC and DC to announce as coming too then we are screwed

BINGO!!!  We may not know a ton about the guy.....his coaching style, philosophy, etc., but that is what makes this kind of exciting at the same time.  At this point, I think we need the unknown more than the known......  Were there good coaches out there (who were just fired), sure....but I want something different.....something I haven't seen before.  That is why I wanted Kelly.  But this hire is along the same lines....we just don't know as much about him, yet.

The only thing we really know is that he took a college team that hasn't been relevant sinc McNabb was drafted and turned it around very quickly......

Sounds like another situation I know of........

Now, we just have to see if lightning can strike in the pros as it did in college!  Definitely is interesting if nothing else!!!  

I think the most important part in all of this will be who he brings in for a staff......Can't wait to find out......

GO BILLS!!!

Two 8-5 years isn't necessarily impressive. I'm disappointed, but let's see..

8-5 would get many college coaches fired. I don't get it
