PromoTheRobot Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I think the obvious choice for GM has been staring at us all this time...Jerry Sullivan. The guys knows everything that's wrong with this franchise. He ought to know how to fix it in a jiffy. On a serious note, if we are going to blow things up, let's hire the czar first, GM next, and let them hire the head coach. No more retrofitting.

Santana Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Eric DeCosta, that's the only guy that's worth giving a shot. He's been under Ozzie Newsome who IMO is the best GM in the league and has been for quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then we are hiring no on, because every year it is the same thing with DeCosta, everyone looking for a GM wants him and he refuses to interview.

Yeah he's probably got it good where he's at. I don't blame him really, he's learning from the best and probably getting paid great with no real worries. I doubt Whaley goes anywhere anyways he just signed a contract extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 He is Newsome's successor. That's what is being said amongst league circles he has 0 plans on leaving BALT and would take an absolute Dream Opportunity to get him to consider it. Sorry the Bills are not that dream opportunity Yeah he's probably got it good where he's at. I don't blame him really, he's learning from the best and probably getting paid great with no real worries. I doubt Whaley goes anywhere anyways he just signed a contract extension. That means nothing to Pegulas. They are paying ALOT of people NOT to work for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wont..... Hire a GM, that doesn't have to listen to or take any recommendations from Russ Brandon. (speaking of which he should have no recommendations in that future GM either). Then Put everything Football Related under the GM he has complete control to do whatever he wants on the football side of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Put everything Football Related under the GM he has complete control to do whatever he wants on the football side of the house. A good GM wont even want to work here with the current structure. If Brandon is involved in a process, they would 'settle' on a GM who agrees to the groupthink. IMO they will keep Whaley and heap everything on Rex as their next scapegoat and act like he was some sort of foreign body who infected their team against everyone's will (as they do with all their scapegoats). They will look for a new coach and the team will be careful to make Whaley appear to be at the forefront of the search (with Brandon and Pegula in the background). Its predictable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Wouldn't you say the same about Brandon? Brandon will never go anywhere either because he's extremely good at marketing.. If Brandon sticks to that part hes awesome, if he's involved in coaching and player decisions then that is a huge issue. I also hope Terry and Kim have learned a lesson as well.. We love you we thank you but let the GM run the actual team and trust your GM. Let Whaley run the show on the coach next year and lets see how he swims with all the team decisions on his shoulders...

Chuck Wagon Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Control with Brandon isn't the main issue. There's a reason all these guys are staying put in winning organizations, they aren't on the clock for a 3-5 year turn around project. As much as the NFL wants to say there's parity, the gap between successful organizations and losing ones continues to grow wider every year. These up and coming GM candidates are highly educated individuals who understand the task they are up against when taking on an organization like ours, it's simply a risk/reward that is not worth taking. It's much better for your professional life (and family life) to stay in a winning organization, bide your time and hope to get the top job than to take on a tire fire organization, get fired in 5 years and end up scrambling to get anywhere near the job they left originally.

You can't say No it won't and then say extra things that have to happen in order for it to work. What your saying is that Russ Brandon has his hands in too much of what's going on as far as the football side of things go. I agree. Which is why I said that it's going to take more than just a new GM. It's going to take a restructure of the way the front office operates. Like I was saying originally, the organization is ran terribly from the top down and it shows in every aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Change the coach. Keep the GM. This time don't let Russ Brandon be in the room when we hire a new coach. And I'd add: Let Doug Whaley hand pick his own HC for once before firing him and bringing in a new GM to do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, one of us could also win the lottery. But the odds are against it, these highly educated young bright minds are all about playing the odds.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Whaley will be one of the hottest GM candidates on the market. If I'm his agent, I tell teams he had 2 coaches forced on him and he tried to make the best of it. And GMs are prettt overrated. How to be a good GM: get a ton of draft picks, don't overpay old players, and find a good qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
