There has been much debate over the last several weeks since the firing of Dick Jauron about a “big name coach” coming in and returning Buffalo to the promise land. You and I have heard everything from Mike Shanahan to Mike Holmgren to Bill Cowher to Jon Gruden. Of course, now the latest rumor is Charlie Weiss who was recently fired from Notre Dame.

Regardless of who goes there, if anyone, there will need to be big changes made and they will not come fast. Whomever the coach is, they will need more then two season to build that team into a potential competitor.

Here are the top ten reasons (in no particular order) why a “big name coach” will not come to Buffalo.

10) The team is young, inexperienced and will be getting younger as we near the draft. There are very few, if any, proven veterans on this team.

9)Economically, there are very few businesses that help support this team financially and with an unstable market in Buffalo to support this team, I see them being in the city no more than 10 years.

8) An old owner (Ralph Wilson) who is very much set in his ways. Like Jerry Jones, Wilson still thinks that the team’s methodology from the 90’s still works today.

7) The organization doesn’t spend any money in free agency or when talented rookie player contracts have expired.    (ie Jarius Byrd and Marshawn Lynch, although Lynch won’t be missed).

6) The stadium is not only extremely old, but it is not covered. Yes, the uncovered stadium is an advantage but overall the corporate people and other big spenders don’t want to brave the elements especially in the winter.  Furthermore, there is nothing around the stadium to draw in people when a game is not going on. The stadium is in a suburb part of the city. If there is no game, then the stadium is dead quiet. The stadium was built in 1973.

5) The Bills have no recognizable or established history. Yes, they made it to four Super Bowls, won four AFC titles and two AFL titles. Other than those, they have nothing that is worth bragging about. Besides, is it really bragging when you lost four Super Bowls in a row?

4) They have been through a bevy of coaches since Marv Levy, which doesn’t exude confidence to the coaches that are being looked at or have interviewed. Did I mention they have been through a bevy of GMs too?

3) They are still in a rebuilding phase with the team’s talent, which they have been doing since the late 90’s.

2) They get very little television coverage. Not having much TV coverage makes this team seem non-existent to the rest of the country or to the rest of the NFL and its fans.

1) I will let you the reader fill this last one in.

Now let the debate begin.
