JM2009 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have no idea why any fan would want Whaley to continue as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I haven't read anything thatsays that besides speculation on a message board. How do you think it went down? Do you think they were listening to Whaley's recommendations after each coach interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 But they were the deciders over the options Whaley was trusted to find and present... Right. Their whole point was to have Whaley and his head coach on the same page during these final years of Whaley's contract because it was obviously a problem with the last two coaches.

thebandit27 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Whaley just did the admin work and set up the meetings. The Pegulas were the deciders as they were with Rex. http://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/1207698-bills-whaley-to-keep-roster-control-with-mcdermott-hired "If he's hired by this GM..."

Whaley was part of the interviewing team. I feel like people are trying to bend reality to fit this narrative that Whaley's getting fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D521646 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Jesus Christ!!!!! There is zero chance, not a smidgen, but zero chance DW is fired after this draft. There might be a slight chance if we don't make the playoffs, but even that is only slight. The Pegulas like his vision, it's not like they haven't checked in on his vision throughout his tenure for God Sake? "Hey Doug, what's the plan" Doug - "plan is ____________ on course" Pegulas - "I like it, keep up the good work".. People are so easily fooled by fake news!

jeffismagic Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes, control of the 53 man roster. That's what the Browns GM had when the owner drafted Johnny Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those people are wrong all the time. That link has the information directly from owner. "...he knows if he's hired by this GM, then I like him."

Mr. WEO Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 How do you think it went down? Do you think they were listening to Whaley's recommendations after each coach interview? They certainly listened to him when they hired Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same owner who in October said it would be bad to fire Rex--or to even rumor it...and then fired him before the end of the season anyway?

They extend contracts on key employees and a few months later... They certainly listened to him when they hired Rex. No, Whaley wanted Hue Jackson. It's well known that Rex was favored by Russ Brandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim- It was so "on course" that Pegula fired the HC before the end of the season without giving Whaley the heads up? Right..... Yes, the Pegulas. They extend contracts on key employees and a few months later... No, Whaley wanted Hue Jackson. It's well known that Rex was favored by Russ Brandon. You should acquaint yourself with Whaley's account of the Rex hiring immediately after he was hired. Jackson didn't even get a second interview.

jeffismagic Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Why would any fan want Whaley here as GM any longer? I don't get it. I don't. But Whaley is more qualified to run a draft than Sean Mcdermott who has no front office experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 the Buffalo media banged away against Whaley for a long long time, which is different then the national media reporting scouts think they will be fired. Btw there are scouts that have been there since before Whaley arrived , The scouts dismissal may have nothing to do with Wahley's status.. lets wait and see this all sounds plausible. I wonder why they didn't bring in Coughlin to work with Kim, or one of many qualified czar types. The Buffalo news has seen to that. Now we wait for their next target. Tick tick tick This is certainly true and it could very well be the case. If so and Whaley stays, you can bet it was his decision to dismiss them. This is where I'm at now too. It's not uncommon for there to be changes made to scouting staffs when there are new people are hired. Who knows, maybe Whaley is fully on board with some changes to the scouting staff. Let's just wait and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
