jeffismagic Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 If this doesn't work out will the Pegulas blame Sean and claim they didn't hire Beane like they did with Tim Murray and Doug Whaley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Interviewing only 3 people? And ending up going with the guy who the head coach pretty much told the Owner to hire. What kind of team structure is Pegula running here? is this a joke? What NFL team lets a rookie HC run the entire team? Pegula is either going to strike gold here or plummet harder than when he hired Rex. If this doesn't work out he will go from beloved savior owner to on par with Dan Snyder as a complete fraud. Once again the Bills prove they don't know how to conduct a proper search for a GM. Good luck the Brandon Beane b/c he sure as hell will need it. myself, I like the hire...

Yav Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Who cares? They knew who they wanted and they got a young GM to go with a young coach. People complain they don't do things and when they do they complain about it. None of us know what happened or how it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) ...ever wonder why...... 1. This club has not yet been purchased by a TBD billionaire? There must be plenty who could deliver a winner in a nanosecond. 2., Not one of the 32 NFL clubs has ever hired a TBD pontificator whose expertise in all football matters is unsurpassed in this fertile football mecca to fill an exec position? ...something is drastically wrong here......has to be discrimination.......

How many would you have preferred? 10? 12? 25? From experience, when you are interviewing people for a job opening, you know when you have found the right person. Four candidates is plenty. They found the one they liked and hired him. Some people will complain no matter what this team does. How about we wait and see what Beane and McDermott can build together before we start crying about the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToughII Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It was obvious from the start. Leroi said Beane was helping to run our draft behind the scenes. The search was done the minute they hired McDermott. We have 2 GMs and hopefully McDermott is a good scout because I haven't seen stellar drafting from the Panthers lately. Brian Gutekunst from the Packers. Promoted to their director of player personnel last year and has been with them since 1998. Show me he agreed to interview? Many won't because of the flat structure and we most likely, won't hear about who didn't want to interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 in 4 years we will all be sitting here asking our selves what kind of team lets a rookie HC run the entire football operations and then we realize we are Bills fans Don't lump me in with you.

The Frankish Reich Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 And once again we realize the Bills would a much better team if only the owner let message board fans run the front office. Dammit, Pegs! These people can complete full sentences! And even log in properly! Why aren't you putting them in charge of your GM search?!?!? Sweet fancy Moses, you people are nuts. Well, since you asked .... I'm pretty damn sure that we message board fans could have stumbled into a playoff team just by accident over the last 17 years ... after all, 12 of 32 teams make it every year. That's 37.5% of teams that make the playoffs in any given year! 3 out of every 8 teams. So an observer knowing absolutely nothing about the NFL but trained in probability and statistics would gather the following: The odds of missing the playoffs every single year over the course of 17 years would be: (3/8) to the 17th power. That's 5.73 to the negative 8th power. That's ... impressive. We are literally in the zone of "any monkey throwing his sh!te at a draft board would build a winning team more often than the Bills have." (Of course, from a probability perspective, this assumes that each year is independent of the year before, whereas in reality we know that it isn't; the suckitude accumulates, building on itself.) ... but seriously, I don't have any issue with handing control to McD and his minions. It's not like there's anything to lose here. This monkey's crap may just land randomly somewhere on that big board (rather than being scientifically designed to hit the worst possible personnel choices) and McD will see the playoff at some point over the next 4 years ...

buffaloboyinATL Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Some people will complain about anything. They found the right guy, that they believe is the one to help turn things around and you would rather they keep searching just for appearances?

IDBillzFan Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Well, since you asked .... I'm pretty damn sure that we message board fans could have stumbled into a playoff team just by accident over the last 17 years ... after all, 12 of 32 teams make it every year. So you're arguing that even bumbling fans could trip themselves into the playoffs over the past 17 years simply by the law of averages. Which I interpret as meaning the Bills intentionally sabotaged every season to not make the playoffs. Is that what you're saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
