BeastMode54 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Excuse me. The bitching is justified. How are you convinced that the Bills even did a thorough hiring search? They hired internally. What other GM candidates were even interviewed, seeing as how the season isn't over? And Brandon presumably gets promoted to President and COO. What has he done to justify that? He was almost singularly responsible for allowing the organization to go into the season with almost no chance of succeeding. And he gets promoted. Businesses are just not run this way. Great post. This is EXACTLY the problem. The season isn't over yet. They ALWAYS hire internally it seems. Do some damn work and due diligence and take TIME to make the right decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, bitching about hiring one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL is justified. The guy has drafted about a dozen pro-bowlers, and helped build one of the best teams in the NFL.

NY Nole Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 its not nix, hes to old reminds me of the movie major league when the opposing team hit a home run and the fan in the stands says "no,no,no -- it's too high!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has drafted about a dozen pro-bowlers, and helped build one of the best teams in the NFL. He's already in our organization. Why promote him? He HELPED build teams as a scout. he's a great scout. Keep him in that role and get a real GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yes, bitching about hiring one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL is justified. The guy has drafted about a dozen pro-bowlers, and helped build one of the best teams in the NFL. He was ALREADY HIRED to do just that, months ago. They didn't need to promote him. Let him continue to evaluate talent, which you say he's so good at, under the direction of someone who actually has hired coaches, sold tickets, and built a team.

The guy has drafted about a dozen pro-bowlers, and helped build one of the best teams in the NFL. So A.J. Smith did nothing but sit back and watch Buddy do his wonder work? If that's the case, wouldn't the rest of the league know Smith was a figurehead and Nix played Coach Klein to Red Beaulieu? Common sense isn't so common anymore.

Brandon Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Apparently he has a strong relationship with Cowher. Modrak as GM could signal Cowher as HC. But Nix also worked with the chin before too, so who knows. As for Modrak, there are whispers that his draft picks were overruled by Dick(less) Jauron and Ralph. He targeted some of the players who we all said should have been drafted. PTR I'e always suspected that was the case with Modrak and that he was probably getting blame he didn't deserve. If he's the new GM, though, some of the yahoos are going to be up in arms, so Ralph and Russ had better do a thorough job of explaining that...and taking the blame themselves...if its true.

Sisyphean Bills Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Nix is in no way responsible for these Bills teams. It seems like people on this board just like to B word and moan. You are the only one in this thread that even suggested anything of the sort. You're still dead wrong that Nix is "from outside the organization". It's a fact that he has been working for the Bills this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Man Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yes, bitching about hiring one of the best talent evaluators in the NFL is justified. The guy has drafted about a dozen pro-bowlers, and helped build one of the best teams in the NFL. It doesn't seem like people are bitching so much about choosing him as they are bitching about the Bills jumping the gun a bit on this one versus maybe doing a little interviewing just to be thorough...?
