iinii Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 What is the point of dragging Rex thru the next 3 games if he is indeed going to get fired? Just to torture him a little more? Payback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Buffalo is so dysfunctional that Marrone quit to work in a lower position on a worse team. He had the Bills on the brink of respectability and jackass Rex throws us back in the hole. I put that on Whaley and Brandon and for that I feel we clean house and they all go.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Probably not, but you also wonder if he's bored with the cushy TV job. Marino left the cushy TV after years to go back to Miami. Believe he's still there, though you never hear much about him. Maybe a job like that would also appeal to Cowher where he's not the one dodging the bullets . Â Yes they do have the same philosophy except Cowher has succeeded with where Rex hasn't. And I'm not looking for Cowher to be the leader, just want to give Whaley someone else to run things by and get a second opinion, but the person has to be someone who he'd respect the opinion of. Probably Tom C (Not going to try and spell his name. Good reason for him to stay away as would hate to have to learn how to spell that one) of the Giants would also fit that bill. Â Â The Chin is not going to leave his cushy no pressure TV job for the rigors and headaches of NFL life. Â 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. Â But in reality none of them were completely based off his decision. How do most coaches, GM's coordinators get their first head job, by being a lower level assistant prior. And likely in that position they likely were involved with hiring and firing of others, but more behind the scenes. So probably anyone you were to bring in, would have just as many notches in his belt as Whaley. And frankly not so sure I'd even want someone without the notches as how would that person know what to look for without having gone through the process a few times and likely failed more than succeeded. Â Lets face it, anyone who's succeeded more than failed likely wouldn't be available to begin with. Â Yikes. On paper Whaley has done some decent things. Three coaches in how many seasons? That is not great. Even if he wasn't a major part of the Gailey and Marrone process. Gailey was more Nix and Brandon and Marrone was joint Nix, Brandon and WhaleyI'm sorry, but FO cleaning should commence. Let Terry finally pick his guys and build a quality foundation finally for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.   Yeah Whaley's been underwhelming and we're just mildly talented, what a joke of a comment.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 How does Whaley get a pass? A lot of GMs are fired for picking 1 bad coach; he has had his hand in 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Who's the hire? Feels like the QB class this year...a bit thin. It's retread city out there.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I don't from what I've seen over the years most GM's are given a crack at hiring at least two coaches. IMO seems more GM's have been allowed multiple hires than fired after one. Â How does Whaley get a pass? A lot of GMs are fired for picking 1 bad coach; he has had his hand in 3.

Reed83HOF Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Â I go back to the Jauron days. Earlier somebody reposted a column after the 2009 6-3 loss to the Browns. Thinking back on those rosters...Jesus. Â We are lightyears from having rosters as woeful as those. I think the bar is very much higher--as evident by being on the doorstep of three consecutive non-losing seasons for the first time since the drought began, and still being pissed and displeased with what happens on Sundays. Baby steps, to be sure. Just think back to 2006-11 and realize how far we've come. We're not that far off. Â Or atually how good Jauron and his staff actually was to get these results with that crap... Edited December 17, 2016 by Reed83HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Whaley missed on EJ Â mortgaged the future by using 2 first round picks on Sammy. Could have had Mack at #5 or sat at #9 and taken Odell Beckham or DT Aaron Donald and kept the second first rounder. Â overpaid on long term deals for underperforming Dareus, Clay, A. Williams, Hughes. re-did shady's deal. Â NOT in good cap shape for 2017 Â Whaley hasn't done anything special at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Whaaaaaa? What about "Don't let him leave the room?" Russ will be crushed. When Brandon said "Don't let him leave the room" what he really meant was "We'll probably need to terminate the contract three years early, after Rex destroys our top 5 D. But it's for the best interest of the organization." Â Considering that Russ has been building a robust analytics department for several years now, we should be good to go come September 2017.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Oh his heart was in it. He just isn't a good head coach.
