USABuffaloFan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 This is new to me as a structure. Pegula's have Whaley as GM. Committee of Pegula's, Brandon and Whaley hire Rex Ryan. Only Pegula's make decision to fire Rex Ryan. Rex Ryan only reported to Terry Pegula. Whaley only reported to Terry Pegula. In all this change only Interm coach and now Whaley has press conference. We only get a simple statement from Pegula's on Rex's termination. This is DYSFUNCTION! You need a command line in leadership with full accountability. The Bills use some type of committee decisions that shield ownership. This will not work!!!! Whaley doesn't seem to care he is just a puppet in this organization. This is even worse than I thought it would be. I am not sure I want to be a follower of this owners teams. This is a Tyrant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The Pegula's are obviously struggling right now. But Terry is far from a "tyrant" lol But they're new to this. I trust they will learn from mistakes and improve over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Hardly a tyrant. But if the realization that the Pegulas are in over their heads in both sports just hit you, you haven't been paying attention. They are doing their best and have kept both teams in Buffalo. It is what it is. Edited January 2, 2017 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust they will learn from mistakes and improve over time. You present a considerably kinder view of the situation than the OP. But make no mistake, we are right back to having organizational problems that start right at the top, just like in the good old Ralph Wilson days. As long as this **** continues, we will struggle to be a consistently good team. Hardly a tyrant. But if the realization that the Pegulas are in over their heads in both sports just hit you, you haven't been paying attention. They are doing their best and have kept both teams in Buffalo. It is what it is. I'm afraid that soon enough, Bills fans will be divided into two groups. The first will be those who are just thankful there is still a team in Buffalo, and that group will support Pegula/not complain too much about anything forever. The second group will move on to other things. Edited January 2, 2017 by Fadingpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Different teams have different reporting structures. Jerry Jones has done pretty well as an owner being hands on and having coaches report to him. Robert Kraft hired Bill Belichick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Thanks for saving the team. Now get out of the f'n way. This is ridiculous. They should have zero say in hiring the coach if they knew what was good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABuffaloFan Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 If keeping a team in Buffalo means total dysfunction, who needs it. I argue he learned a lesson with the Sabres and did make whole sale changes and empowered Murray. Pegula's are doing the opposite with the Bills. They are controlling the football operation without experience and without accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipster19 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Man this pains me to say this but this "organization" (what a oxymoron that is!) sorely needs a Tuna type football czar. The Pegulas are trying to run this franchise systematically and it's becoming a bigger mess than it was before they purchased it.

USABuffaloFan Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Unfortunately it looks like Murray screwed the Sabres. I am not sure of this yet. But even if that is true, it is easily fixed firing him and getting the right guys in place. The Sabres have great young talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KollegeStudnet Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Terry, tear down the FO and get this team in order. The Ralph regime has hindered this club for years. It's time to change. Time to cut ties with the people who keep their jobs and don't produce. Pegula's "I saved the team, you want them to win too?!"😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES he does... They talked plenty. DUH people... Was he part of the FINAL decision by TP? Nope. Didn't need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
