KDIGGZ Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Whaley and Brandon are best buds. He will be involved by default. You think they aren't talking about it? Maybe hes not in the room but he will be putting in his 2 cents Also, what "search?" Sounds like they are going with Lynn. Fake stories about Broncos wanting Lynn. They might give him an interview for the Rooney rule but how coveted is an OC with ³ months experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should consider himself very lucky he kept his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 John Wawrow @john_wawrow 11m11 minutes ago FYI: I'm told Russ Brandon will not be involved in the #Bills coach hiring process. Decision is strictly with the Pegulas. This is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 It's a football decision and they aren't football people. I hope their involvement is a simple rubber stamp. If they don't trust Whaley to do his job they should replace him. They are football people. They own the team and Whaley has no proven track record in hiring a coach. If Whaley is smart he would ask the Pegulas to put their blessing on his top choice and to be part of the decision. That puts the owner's skin in the game and both on same page. GM's with different teams have different roles. Some are very experienced and run nearly all aspects of team. Some are more player personnel focused guys like Whaley.

Reed83HOF Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 After what happened with Rex Ryan he would be a fool to listen to Russ has to say on football matters. He should consider himself very lucky he kept his job. This is pretty much true...FWIW, I still would have cleaned house. Once Whaley (as soon as next year) is finally chopped one would think the new GM would want their own guy....I really hope this works out; otherwise we may well be looking at 20+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Great news! but I'll wait for Chris Brown to confirm. Oh god, the Bills media mouthpiece. Him and Murph have been talking up Russ every chance they get. Callers say fire Russ and they are quick to come to his defense and say he only sticks to the business side. I call BS. He's the president, he's the highest ranking guy besides the Pegulas. I'm sure he's throwing his 2 cents in Russ not being part of the search has nothing to do with any of this It does because there is no "search." They found their puppet it seems. Trying to sell Lynn as in "high demand." Yea suuuure who wouldn't want to be the worst passing offense in the NFL. Let's hire that guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Sure does sound like Pegulas are getting rid of the "muddle huddle" structure and establishing defined areas of responsibility. Good. Culture change starts at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Wait they Hired Lynn Hmmm please show me that press release It's all over the news how it's Lynn's job to lose. There won't be a search, just going through the motions. Whaley has a guy he knows will do whatever he wants. Anyone that wants to bet against that let me know.

Arkady Renko Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Good. He should be involved in the decision to choose what kind of toilet paper is dispensed in the bathrooms.

sullim4 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 If it's Anthony Lynn... it's a safe bet Russ isn't involved. That's about the least exciting hire from a marketing perspective that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most other NFL teams will want to have a decent passing offense, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) How is Russ gonna sell tickets without giving input on the coach? This is smoke, he will be involved in the search. Fans like you can't be satisfied. Then just wait until we win and jump in then - however long that might be.
