nucci Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) This is the pure damage control interview/article. Glad JW got the exclusive, but Terry wouldn't have done this had the Whaley interview not gone sideways and played to the notion that their is extreme disfunction. of course it is and it was smart to do......shows leadership....he's backing his GM Edited January 2, 2017 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 interesting take, i'd like to hear more, wish he could have told us more than just this... Wawrow did tweet "Much more to come" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 He had input on performance. He did not have input on the firing. You are parsing about as much as Doug did earlier today. It's part of his job to offer assessments on what happens on the field. Not exactly as if the issues weren't obvious. What was obvious to me was that there were a lot of injuries and suspensions. I would have hoped that the GM would have given context rather than (as I believe) throw Rex under the bus to save his own job). This is the pure damage control interview/article.

Dorkington Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 You are parsing about as much as Doug did earlier today. You seriously don't understand the difference? I'm guessing you've never been in any sort of managerial position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davspo Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 This whole thing is just pathetic- owner is clueless- president is clueless and gym is clueless- coaching and players are only part of the problem- absent a complete blow up of this organization, I have no reason to believe it will ever get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 i figured as much. rex forcing his hand out, thats all it was. rex literally created a self fulfilling prophecy. i wonder how much effort he gave to win? i really do believe rex just didn't have anything left in the tank when it came to the 'fire' that you need to be a winner. I have wondered the same thing. That Rex no longer had the "fire in his belly". He liked the media attention, he didn't like the grind. Especially after the report from someone here that Rex told Lynn (in the off-season, as Lynn was interviewing for HC gigs_ he would be gone after this season and Lynn, if he stayed, could be the next HC of the Bills Wasn't it Levy who said, "if you say you're going to retire after next season, you're already retired" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pure conjecture by you. Rex in Buffalo was a mistake and I'm glad Pegula acknowledged it. Time to move forward. My educated opinion. Agree to disagree. It is all on Whaley now. Doug may want to speak with Darcy so that he can plan ahead and prepare himself for what is likely to happen.

Deranged Rhino Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 How do you NOT tell your GM you are going to fire the coach???? When the coach asks you point blank during a private conversation and you're put on the spot? ...The timeline isn't really that difficult to follow.

YoloinOhio Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Pegula and Whaley watch every game side by side in the owner's box. Draw your own conclusions on those conversations. The phone call between Rex and Pegula that culminated in him no longer being the coach happened without whaley's involvement. Whaley was a peer of Rex. Pegula says they "mutually agreed to part ways." Then he told Whaley. Whaley didn't say he wasn't surprised. He said he wasn't told why. Because he already knew. Anyone who has had a peer fired at their place of employment can relate to this. Edited January 2, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I can totally see this being a move that will make future coaching or front office jobs in Buffalo attractive. But hey....Kim is so nice to all the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 How do you NOT tell your GM you are going to fire the coach???? Because Rex brought it up to Terry in private. Just like the article said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pegula is a disaster. The Pegualas definitely screwed up by making football decisions by committee between them, Russ, and Whaley. I'm hopeful this is a sign they recognized it, now we'll see if Whaley is legit or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pegula is a disaster. I always will love Terry and Kim and be grateful for saving the NFL in Buffalo and contributing to the Buffalo renaissance. Having said that, I think they are getting bad advice from Doug Whaley and listened to the whispers of the wrong guy while watching games in the box.
