Shanahan met with the Bills for 7 hours

Per ESPN, Shanny met with Russ Brandon in Denver for 7 hours Monday.

Brandon delivered what was said to be a persuasive presentation about why Shanahan should be interested in the Bills. He pitched Shanahan on the merits of the market, the condition of the franchise and what a good match it could be.

The two sides did agree on one point: Each would take its time in this process, making sure it makes the right decision about what's next for each.

"We had an excellent meeting," Shanahan said Wednesday. "I was really impressed with Russ Brandon and everything he had to say. We're going to stay in touch and see what develops."

The Bills want to thoroughly investigate all the coaches that are and could be available, even though they clearly are serious about Shanahan. At the same time, Shanahan would like to see what opportunities could be out there for him to return to the NFL in 2010.

Sounds pretty good ot me. I am obviously still skeptical of the Bills actually signing Shanahan as their head coach but his comments perhaps fly in the face of that skepticism. Either way it truly sounds like the Bills (aka Ralph) are willingly to do what it takes to actually turn around this moribund franchise. Whether that means a high price coached or a legit GM it can't be any worse than the last four errrrr 10 years.
