Says Whaley most likely staying. I'm for a full house cleaning and Whaley has been nothing more than underwhelming here. But if he can find the right coach/QB than by all means go for it. What an awful hire this was. We were right on the verge of becoming a quality team, Rex legit set this team back 3+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe third time's the charm? Edited December 16, 2016 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Unless Bucky Gleason or Jerry Sullivan report it, I don't believe it. These dudes are the ones who break all the Bills stories. Let Whaley have complete control over the process and see if he can hire a real coach for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 There it isn't - it just says that the "belief" around the league is that Ryan will be canned. The Pegulas are very close to the vest and I don't think this report really moves the needle - we still don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude hasn't coached in a decade. He'd be very Rex like and doesn't have Dick LeBeau to carry his team. Get a young guy with an offensive mind and a veteran NFL DC.

Dragonborn10 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Schefter seems more reliable than most but has any one paid attention to how accurate his reports are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not defending Rex at all, but I'd call that a stretch. We had no QB, defense was good on paper, but still managed to allow teams to score go-ahead points at the close of games. Likely would have lost FA's over past two years on the defensive side, while I think they could have played better than they have, we'd still have the same issues on offensive. Also not sure without Rex's run first offense, would we have scored as many points as we have? What an awful hire this was. We were right on the verge of becoming a quality team, Rex legit set this team back 3+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I wouldn't mind seeing Cowher come in as some type of oversight position. I think Whaley overall has done more good than bad, but sometimes overvalues and could use someone to sound things over with before pulling the trigger. We still are on the Cowher train?

He has lived off his first 2 years in New Jersey and is a good "interview." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't hate that but it is a completely different NFL than he left. Fans get nostalgic. Rex and Cowher have essentially the same philosophy.

Yeezus Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 LOL at people not thinking Schefter is a legit source it would sind weird if he was the only one reporting it, but wake up. there has been bad news coming out of OBD since the start of the season. the franchise is a total mess right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 People need to lower their expectations, no one worth anything would want to come to the Bills. Way too much pressure to find success right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) The Chin is not going to leave his cushy no pressure TV job for the rigors and headaches of NFL life. Yea... I really think this is where Rex wanted to be also. I think he just wanted to put the Bills into the playoffs before he did it.
