Fadingpain Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Actually that's what she said after she hired Rex. And then there was this from Whaley just 2 years ago: “The way we looked at it with where our team is we’re scratching at the door and knocking at the door and we want to kick that door down,” said Whaley. “So we didn’t want a guy who was learning on the job. We wanted a guy who has been there and done that before and not have those missteps of a first-time head coach. " Details, details. Besides, that was the spin from the last hire, when we were "scratching at the door." This time we are "close." Wildly different set of circumstances requires different hiring philosophy. Obviously.

Wildly different set of circumstances requires different hiring philosophy. Obviously. In 2013 when the Bills finished 6-10 and fired Chan Gailey, Russ Brandon said "the Bills brand has been tarnished." Fast forward to 2017, the Bills finished 7-9 and "are close." Close to what, being a perennial loser, oh wait, they have been for 17 years. I have wined and dined with kings and queens and slept in alleys & ate pork and beans. RIP Dusty!

davspo Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 After listening to the horse crap for too many years, I will simply elect to reserve judgment and not jump on the "what a great hire" bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This just in...this franchise has no real direction. They run things by the seat of their pants. The best we can hope for is they stumble upon a good thing by dumb luck. That's what's it's come to at One Bills Drive. All that said, I honestly hope this guy coaches here for the next 10 years or more. We shall see. Really, that's true for most of the league. The Patriots success story was nothing but luck (hiring a former HC that failed at his first job, drafting Brady in the 5th round and not starting him until they HAD to). There's no perfect formula for hiring the next great head coach. There's no guaranteed way to draft the next great QB. You do as much research as you can, hold your breath, and take a shot. I have no idea if McDermet will be a good coach. But he doesn't seem to have anything major against him, so at least we're headed in the right direction there. Time will tell.

The Big Cat Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Your pity is poorly disguised sanctimony. There's no disguise, I'm pretty open in my disdain for how some of you choose to live your lives. well some of us might say thank you. and others might wonder why we needed pity ? You're good, homey.

RussellDopeland Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 @jeff_mclane Sean McDermott used to run the hill (steep/long) at Lehigh after practice. My 1st year on the beat, he challenged me to join. I wimped out. Oh God....here comes the "Bill Brasky" narrative. The B.S. is gonna get deep pretty quick- find some tall boots or waders.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Of course. With Rexy they executed the Pegula Plan; retread coach who possibly could be successful. He did the same with hiring Ted Nolan on the Sabres. Now its the Pittsburgh Plan Whaley is executing; hire a young guy because, hell it worked in Pittsburgh with Tomlin, so it has to work here in Buffalo. This hire actually sets the organization back a couple of years. Might make the playoffs in 2-3 years or Pegula will be paying Rexy, McDermitt and the new coach in 2019. You got the Nolan part wrong. He was hired to coach a tank team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 So have we worked ourselves into a funk over this hire yet? It never ceases to amaze me how no detail is too positive that it can be turned into a reason for despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'll take good news where I can get it. Time will tell. 100% correct. Nothing really to discuss, nor will there be, for quite some time. Will be interesting to see how the QB situation plays out as time rolls forward. That is now Issue #1 for me.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 There's no disguise, I'm pretty open in my disdain for how some of you choose to live your lives. Wait, this is a message board. Other than that we all choose to spend part of our lives hanging out here, how do you know so much about how some of us live the rest of our lives? Or if it's hanging out on the message board that earns your distain, well, where were you when you saw us here? @JeffRussoWKBW #Bills owner Terry Pegula releases statement on Sean McDermott OK, so we have a statement from Pegs. We have a statement from Kim. Do we have a statement from Whaley? If not, I understand why Sullivan is interpreting this as further diminishing Whaley.

I go back to '66 with this team. It's still not a reason to whip yourself into a depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
