BrooklynBills Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 These people were formerly under football operations. That was/is Russ Brandon not Doug Whaley as many are reporting. Â There was a report from after Marrone's first season that Whaley and Marrone wanted to make changes to the training staff and that those people were under the Brandon's control. Â If McDermott wants to implement a different athletic support system, it's a lot easier to bring in people who are well versed in whatever program he wants to implement rather than re-train the current staff.

Just in Atlanta Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 And yet Whaley and Brandon remain.  We've drained the swamp–even the chaplain–but left the alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Almighty Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Â 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. Â Also found this: http://www.thekickisgood.com/the-curse-of-billy-buffalo/ WTF is a Huddles? Is this before the elephants and car full of clowns or afterwards?

richstadiumowner Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 McD comes from an excellent coaching tree. That's the first thing I look at when it comes to coaches. Â Greatness begets further greatness, and so I just don't get how anyone could criticize his effort to extend his coaching tree branch in Buffalo. Â Ryan brothers and Son of Bum just for two. I've found just the opposite for every guy I've met that was great in some capacity his fam. is mostly just people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direhard Fan Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm surprised he waited so long. Camp starts Monday. Guess no work outs or eating until new guys show up from the McD program.

Gordio Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 He's the nutritionalist and it takes like a 30 sec Google search to see he's well respected outside of football as well. Â Is an equipment manager changing going to help us win games as well? McDermott just wants to hire his boys. Â Â No sh*t he wants to bring in his own people. Why wouldn't he. the Bills have had the last 3 years the most injuries of any team in the league. Someone has got to take the fall for that.

SectionC3 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Â Why is training and guiding a blind runner such a great feet (see the pun there?)? Why does this mean he does an excellent job strengthening and conditioning NFL football players? Â Most likely, McD just wants to bring in his own people who fit what he wants to do, nothing wrong with that...good on him Usually you try to find a way to keep good humans around. My wife is a marathon runner and, while watching her, I saw liburd and his co-runner together at the buffalo marathon. I think liburd did something similar at a 5k in orchard park. I was very impressed by and equally touched by his generosity of spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the NYT article on the Amazon workplace. Sometimes you have to find a way to keep a couple of good people around at the expense of metrics, bottom line, etc. if liburd was incompetent or failing at his job, then there is no room to argue against your viewpoint. But if he isn't or wasn't, then maybe this is the type of situation where someone makes a compromise to keep liburd around in one capacity or another. Even berchtold kept a title.

BillsFan4 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm not the type that usually likes to see anyone lose their jobs, but I am all for whatever changes McDermott wants to make. Â Some of these guys were Ralph Wilson era Bills lifers - Berchtold. McMillen (21 years). Lancaster (16yrs). Â We are not in the building. We have no idea how these people play into the culture there. If our coach felt a change is needed, I support it. I am all for getting rid of Ralph Wilson lifers anyway... Â Â Some of these guys have lasted through multiple coaches and general managers. I find it very hard to believe that none of those coaches/GMs wanted to get rid of any of them and/or bring in their own people. So if we finally have a coach who can help bring some real change to OBD, I am all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
