PromoTheRobot Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Just a word of reality here for ya's None of these people have anything to do with how the team has been playing, except the one strength guy might have some small impact. Likewise Scott Berchtold had nothing to do with team performance. None of the front office decision makers who have presided over the last 17 years have been replaced. Not one. You mean like the GM and scouts? They've all been here since 2000? That's news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 @salsports As I reported after Rex was fired, new Bills HC was going to oversee/have power to hire/fire support staff, almost no matter who coach was.. Previously (as far as back as I'm aware) these support positions fell under "football ops" department. They now fall under the head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm going to reserve final judgement until the season begins. But I have no reason to believe things will improve by then. I fear TSW may have jumped the shark with the recent influx. I've never met him, but by all accounts SDS seems like a solid dude. I hope he finds a way to monetize all the extra traffic, make it an advantage somehow.

Bray Wyatt Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Would love to see an actual person play Buffalo Bill Cody. Heck, how about he keeps a live buffalo on the sidelines? Trots in on a horse and fires some cap guns in the air before the game to get us going. Could have a whole wagon/western theme and everything. Also found this: http://www.thekickisgood.com/the-curse-of-billy-buffalo/ WTF is a Huddles? I personally think it would be awesome to run a real buffalo out ahead of the team when the come out I could take it or leave it on the Bill Cody stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/03/30/bills-culture-change-continues-football-ops-departures/ (quote his quote) Do any of you think the Bills need a new nutrision expert and a guy who knows how to tone muscles with everyday objects found around the house. I could at least show them how to eat right and how to do isolation exercizes with big cans of tomatoes and rubber band workouts. There is no need to spend money on big machines when the players can use things right in the building to get strong and I can prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your source? You defend Liburd but you malign McD without any information. Maybe Liburd did something wrong that you don't know about. Maybe as good as Liburd may be, McD is bringing someone onboard even better. Before you attack someone, you have to gather your facts. Personally, until I know more, I reserve judgment.

Willyville Guy Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Strength & conditioning is a very important position. It's not just toning muscles and putting less cheese in the omelets; these guys are responsible for making a player's body right for the specific way he is used in the coaches' scheme. Bulking up, slimming down, managing speed versus power - all in a way that maximizes a player's performance late in games and limits the risk of injury. We always wonder if every team deals with injuries to the extent the Bills have over the years. The answer is probably yes, but if the new coach sees this as an area that needs improvement then I'm all for a change. Not a "nothing" move.

Buddo Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The current 'strength and conditioning' team, has largely been in place, not long after Nix took over. I think it can be argued that it was time for a change anyway, as the injury side of things, didn't seem to improve overly much, from the guys we had before. Our new HC is somewhat detail orientated, and it may well be that enough details weren't forthcoming from the guys who just got canned. (The Chaplain is probably just because he believed more in Rex than Jebus). McDermott seems totally meticulous in his planning, and I rather suspect that he wants the same degree of attention to detail, from those around him - even if they are 'merely' support staff.

Manther Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Getting rid of Dan Liburd is a disgrace. He was a great guy and he's losing his job because our HC feels this entitled. Dan was the guy who trained and guided a blind runner thru the Buffalo marathon. Great job McDumbass. Hearing on the radio they might fire the equipment manager too. Ross Tucker just tweeted "Bills getting rid of the wrong people...". I think you are wrong. Good people don't mean they are good at their job. I surely don't think you can judge Coach McD on this with no info on why at all. Different philosophies....McD has been evaluating for two months, this isn't a knee jerk reaction. Your comments seem to be a knee jerk reaction. Changing losing ways and losing cultures is a great thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadLandsMeanie Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 It was reported in January when Rex was fired that the new HC would assume control over medical, support, equipment staff (instead of the GM) so this isn't surprising.
