BillsPhan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Link: http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/938892.html Buddy Nix defended his hiring of Chan in the excellent article above. As he was doing so, he made an awesome backhanded insult that fit Tom Donahoe's hiring of Greggggggg Williams perfectly. He said: "A guy who hires off of interviews is going to get himself in big trouble," Nix said. "There are some guys who interview well. Check their history. That tells you what you need to know." Who can forget Donahoe raving about the interview Williams' gave back then? It was so long ago, I don't even remember the better qualified "hot" coaches out there we all hoped Whitey would bring in. I do remember that none of us were "rooting for" Gregg freakin' Williams. I am really starting to like Buddy. I think he's a hell of a lot smarter then he makes himself sound. It would not surprise me if he was intentionally slamming Williams and Donahoe, based on Gregggg shooting his cocky arrogant mouth off about "freezing Buffalo" these days!

eball Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I welcome Buddy's no-nonsense approach. He reminds me of the difference between book-smart and street-smart. Book-smart (Levy, Jauron) didn't work out too well over the past four seasons. Let's see what street-smart can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthICE Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I love the guy and this article further shows why. He doesn't give a damn what 'experts' or some hyper depressive fans have to say about his hire. So he didn't beat Georgia, you don't fire a coach with a winning record and 6 bowl apperances because of that. As for as KC is concerned, their HC wanted to run his offense and call his plays. To do so he had to fire Gailey. And lets see isn't KC drafting ahead of us? Yeah that offense really lit it up after Gailey was fired I just wish we had Nix running the show way back instead of Donahoe. I am convinced we would be contenders by now.

Mike in Syracuse Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 One thing about Buddy, he speaks his mind and he doesn't care if you like what he says or if it's politically correct. In that article when discussing Gailey: "He adjusted to [Tyler] Thigpen. Give me a break. Then look at what happened to the offense after he left." It would have been better if he said "Tyler Freaking Thigpen"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cocktosten Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 For a guy who has done nothing, he shoots off at the mouth an awful lot. Funny, because you just don't hear G.M.'s talk as much sh*t as he does unless it's Al Davis. He's got some Lil Donte in him that I am not a fan of at all.

kegtapr Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 PR It makes people happy to hear it. Yeah, who cares if they're losing as long as people are all warm and fuzzy with comments from the current staff, slamming past staff. How about these guys put a 10 win season together, then they can mock the 8 win season all they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cocktosten Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 He has done alot..take a look at his career before you shoot from the hip. He's never been a GM, he's always been a role player. He finally gets a GM job at 70 and he is acting like a bully who was hired by Ralph to DEFEND the franchise, not run it. Again, what other GM says these things? The task at hand is monumental for him; rebuliding a franchise that is in utter turmoil, has limilted asssets and is thin on personell. I'm thinking that would humble you a bit. Good luck Buddy, ask Lil Donte how quickly the fans turn on you when your mouth writes checks that your a** can't cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me give you a hint: they're still coaching. So is Williams. In another Superbowl. He's a great defensive coordinator who had an unsuccessful stint as our head coach. How exactly was it a bad decision to hire him? Sean Payton liked him enough that he took a pay cut to get Williams in, and is now going to the Superbowl. That should say something about the guy, no?
