Augie Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's weird that nothing in the article supports the article's title. Am I missing it? "Here's what happened with the Rex firing and here's what's going on with the coaching search" would've been more accurate. Other than the misleading title, it's a good synopsis of what we've already heard. That has to be the first thing that jumps out at you. Sure, Whaley has said he'd give more control, but I'd expect it would only be under circumstances that warranted it. (And what else is Whaley going to say? He's got to sound resonable, right?)

1billsfan Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Talk about a misleading headline.... Joe Banner @JoeBanner13 2m2 minutes ago Joe Banner Retweeted Ben Volin It doesn't appear that the Bills have really studied what leads to success in the NFL. Joe Banner? Where are his professional NFL success stories? LOL Who's next to weigh in on the Bills situation with their NFL wisdom, Richie Kotite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 So on pregame ESPN Schefter just said " there are people who say the Bills will give new HC more power". I don't even know what that means. Was it his Uber driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 That statement makes no sense given the Bills current situation as well as the guys they are interviewing. Schefter is getting like the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Journalists do not ordinarily write headlines. This looks a bit like a editor writing a headline that doesn't match a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunesmith Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If what Shefter says is true, it looks like Pegula will be reporting to the new HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Rex had enough power to hire his dumb brother as DC. Were there any objections to that by either the owner of the GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL btw I was just providing twitter commentary... an HC being able to choose the 53 is entirely acceptable if they haven't been in the league for like 5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 This would point to someone like Coughlin who wouldn't take an interview with Whaley controlling the 53. More power will be more attractive to coaches like him or other coaches who wouldn't take an interview with us otherwise. No way Lynn gets that kind of power, it would need to be someone with experience to give up that much control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 That statement makes no sense given the Bills current situation as well as the guys they are interviewing. Schefter is getting like the rest of them. Yeah full control to a rookie like McDermott Mulrooney-rule would sound like a poor choice. Perhaps exceeding Billsy even.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I just saw some other people reference this. It looks like old news. It's referencing Whaley from a week ago saying he is willing to let a HC have control over the 53 depending on the guy. Which he is not. He would be if that guy is Pete Carroll. Or Bellichick. He's not going to with any of the guys available. That's just more crappy reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 the last coach reported to the owner...how much more power did he need? the last coach got darby, shaq and ragland in the first 3 rounds over 2 year period. Maybe the GM will report to the HC now. lol. Bills front office, ownership and the press working together well to make sure that no one knows what the Bills were doing, are doing or will do with respect to the head coach.

Big Turk Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Whaley had already said himself that he was open to giving the HC control over the 53 man roster, which isn't common. I don't understand why it wouldn't be...the coach is the one who is trying to put all the pieces together in his system...unless there is some overriding factor with the Salary Cap, I would think they should be the ones who have the final say.
