Niagara Bill Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Quit blaming everyone except the guy who created this. Consider It was reported 3 weeks ago that Rex told Lynn he would be the next head coach Rex has weekly meeting with Pegula, private if he wants without Whaley He may have had one with Pegula 3 weeks ago and may have been advised that missing the playoffs would bring on a serious review of his status Pegula may have said less than 50/50 chance to survive before Jets game he by all reports had a private call with Pegula where he likely gave Pegula an ultimatum and Pegula bit and said you are gone, and with that attitude you may as well leave now. Or perhaps they told him of the TT decision and that brought on a power play by Rex and Pegula pushed the button. easy to see that Whaley was not part of this Easy to see that the organization is not strong and united Rex walks with lots of money, once again burning a bridge in an uncompleted job. Pegula still has lots of money. Whaley has grief but likely more power...that is OK with me, no owner should have a head coach work for him. If you want a team organization to have cohesion the coach has to work for the GM, ask Polian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 by the 2nd week of the off-season it was reported Rex pegged Lynn as the next HC he knew he wouldnt survive this season, the players werent buying in and doing their homework. thus we are close to the top of the league in missed/broken tackles.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 For being a "player's coach" the Bills players didn't really play for their coach. They just liked his personality and conversation and work environment and taking their blame. The missed tackles were lack of effort a lot. They didn't get up for the biggest game of the year, Pittsburgh at home. They didn't back his strategies but questioned them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't get up for the biggest game of the year, Pittsburgh at home. They didn't back his strategies but questioned them. It seems odd, but IMO it's not that odd. Rex is the college professor everyone loves because he's funny, pumps you up about what great work you do and how interesting your discussions are, tells you how you're one of his favorite classes, never assigns homework, and there's just one paper due at the end of the semester (or close to it, he gets that you're busy) that everyone gets an A or an A- on. F papers get a gentleman's C. Most students love professors like that. Student feedback surveys are glowing. Football is a job for these guys. If your boss wherever you work lets you take time off whenever you want, come in late whenever you want, take it easy just about every day, pat you on the back for being such a good employee, give you glowing performance reviews, and let you know that you have a job as long as you want one, you wouldn't have much negative to say about your boss either. Players (like students in the first example and employees in the second) will rise to the level of expectations set forth by the teacher/boss/coach. If a nonchalant, anything goes type of environment is allowed and even rewarded, then that is what you will get.
