Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Jesus Christ: Charles RobinsonVerified account @CharlesRobinson 28s29 seconds ago On #Bills firings - evaluator told me one of Whaley's Sr. staffers showed to a pro day with no stopwatch/notepad/pencil. Clearly he was out. Stopwatch and pencil? What's it 1968? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2009 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well, job is now open. Good luck. So just keep going with what isn't working. Untouchables.

Juice_32 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 There is a lot to process here, but at the end of the day I'm really just worried about one thing. Did Leroi get fired? Did we lose our source? The rest of this...meh. McD is the sheriff for better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm glad Doug Whaley is gone, he had plenty of time to make us a playoff team, it wasn't very difficult to make us better after the dumpster fire team he was inherited, no playoffs in his tenure so it's time to move on, that said I hope this isn't McDermotts complete show and that all party's were informed upon or part of McDermott's hire.

When a GM can't decide who the HC will be, it's hard to solely blame him for results on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 When a GM can't decide who the HC will be, it's hard to solely blame him for results on the field. He seemed like someone who thought he could pass the buck every year. This kind of person eventually gets the ax if the company keeps losing (games, $$$$, prestige.) If he was a jerk to the staff they will be dancing in the hallways of the office, I've seen champagne ordered on the spot and toasted to this kind of dismissal.

RunTheBall Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I was happy with the Whaley hire originally but firmly believed Pegs should have cleaned house from the beginning. Now those asswipes Brandon and Overdorf need to go. Overdorf clearly sucks, and I don't care how good of a marketing man Brandon is. They are both a big part of the culture of mediocrity and stench of losing that permeates 1BD. Those two are the last skid marks left in an organization that has sucked for far too long. The fans who have supported this abomination deserve better and it's time to bring on the bleach and wipe the stains clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I thought it was said he wasdon't recall that but could have missed it. I remember him saying that the new gm would decide on him but not about him being in the process. Could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 This is the best Bills news I have heard in years. Didn't understand why people gave Whaley 100% of the benefit of the doubt his whole time here. Kind of surprised to see the axe fall on him like that. I think it's for the best. A few others should be gone as well shortly... hopefully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yeah but that hasn't been confirmed has it? I've never heard that as being fact other than random people saying it. Yes, Multiple times confirmed by Pegula himself. Terry does the hiring. Rex was on "group advisement" (aka Brandon), and this year he let "Whaley lead the search, but did the final hiring".

JM2009 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 "Pegula said that Whaley was responsible for putting together the Bills’ draft plan and executing it, but very few people truly believe that. McDermott, who Pegula hired as the new head coach of the team in mid-January, was basically serving as its de facto general manager these last couple months, too, and his voice has overridden everyone else's."....Sal M.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yeah but that hasn't been confirmed has it? I've never heard that as being fact other than random people saying it. Brandon hired Marrone before bringing Whaley aboard. Then the Pegulas hired Rex when Whaley wanted Hue Jackson. Then Pegs says Whaley will head up the search and we end up with McDermott, who turns out to be Whaley's executioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
