‘”Jim Monos and Kelvin Fisher bring a wealth of player personnel experience from championship organizations to their new roles with the Buffalo Bills,” said Whaley. “Both men have a keen eye for talent and will play a pivotal role in our talent evaluation process for years to come. We are excited to add two well-respected and innovative personnel professionals to this organization.”‘

‘When you look at it from that standpoint obviously there’s a lot of newness to the organization, no question. We all embarked on the process of hiring Coach Marrone a few months ago. And at the end of the day when we sit here, it’s new and different but it all comes down to wins and losses. And we’re all about accountability as well. From every person in this organization and I’ve mentioned back on January 1 that we share the fan’s frustration and our stakeholder’s frustration over the past 13 years. But you won’t hear us talk much about that. It’s all about what we do moving forward. And with Doug at the helm as our General Manager and Coach Marrone we feel very good about our future and I can stand up here and sit up here and talk about it all day, but it comes down to results and proving it. That’s the next step of what we have to achieve and it’s proving it on the field.’

It does not surprise me that he has been named General Manager.”‘
