BuffaloBud420 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Some of us believe he has made football decisions in the past. That's another debate altogether. My point is that it certainly isn't happening anymore or ever will again. This makes Brandon quite secure in his job. He's the marketing guy now. He doesn't have a greater role anymore. That makes firing him pointless. He is involved. Believe me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koko78 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Fire him for what, stupidity that happened a decade ago, or the the conspiracies that you whiners have invented since he moved on from being an unwilling GM? Â The dude makes money for Mr. Pegula. That's what his job is. That's a job he is very good at.

apuszczalowski Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think our nation's President could probably run Canada, too, at the same time. He can't even run your country, doubt adding another one will make things easier for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yeah. People wrongly equate winning with success at running a major sports franchise. Sabres attendance this year? Right in the middle of the pack. And the Bills are very profitable; it would actually be hard not to make a lot of money with an NFL franchise, but it's not as if the bodies have stopped coming. Again, the Bills - a very small market team (unless you throw in Toronto, which you really shouldn't unless you have like a .20 factor or something) - fell right in the middle of the pack. So on the "do his teams win?" account, he's a miserable failure. On the "does he make his bosses money?" account, he's a double winner. Is it his job to put a winner on the field though? I would put that under the job of the GM/Head Coach/Players. Thats like saying that the Head coach is responsible for making the owner money Agreed. I was being facetious but really don't want to get into any kind of political discussion here. It was a joke, and not a slam at Canada but at him.

jimmy10 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Â What Pegula actually said about Brandon was: " Q: Terry, will Russ Brandon be involved in the search for a new GM? Pegula: If we need to ask Russ questions, we're going to ask him. He's a member of the Bills' organization. " Â That's kind of a non-answer, but it certainly doesn't read as though Brandon will be intimately involved with the GM search. Now is not the time for paying attention or reading comprehension. Now is the time for histrionics and hyper tizzy fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Thanks for the clarification. Still seems like a lot of responsibility for one person, but I guess without knowing what his day to day tasks are or how many hours he spends a week in each role, my question will remain unanswered. Have you ever met a company President/CAO/CEO/Top guy?etc? They don't have to work much because they have everysingle person below them to do the work for them. They hang out and talk to the owners, make public appearances and speak to the public, the dirty work is done by others lower down the totem pole. If Terry wants to bring in a new policy, or staff member/position, he tells that to Russ, then Russ hands the task down to someone a rung lower to take care of.

frostbitmic Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 He's involved insofar as that he's the Pegula's most trusted advisor, if they have a question they ask his opinion and trust him enough to generally follow it (Rex hiring) Â Brandon and I believe Overdorf have been a part of this team as long as this streak of futility, I'm not saying that it's all their fault but they certainly are a part of the problem.
