Rico Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I posted this in another thread, but this is a good Vic scoop: http://buffalonews.com/2018/05/01/vic-caruccis-analysis-brandons-tenure-with-bills-tale-of-conflicting-results/ "The fact is, once Sean McDermott took over as coach last year and Beane became GM shortly thereafter, Brandon had very little to do with the football portion of the Bills' operation and was focused almost exclusively on business. A person close to the situation told The Buffalo News that McDermott wanted it that way, with Terry and Kim Pegula granting his wish that neither Brandon nor the GM at the time, Doug Whaley, be present during McDermott's initial meeting with the owners.

Steve Billieve Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) its funny how many times i've heard that Russ is just recently no longer involved in football operations. I'm guessing this time sticks though. Edited May 2, 2018 by Steve Billieve 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this time sticks though. Same here. Like I posted before in another thread. Sal and Leo from the Rochester D and C were defending him as were Schopp and the Bulldog. My guess is that he cultivated pretty good relationships with the media and they are being far easier on him than, say, a Doug Whaley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiezzz Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Well, adios! That may very well be their source. Glad to see him go. I don't listen to wgr anymore, as it's pretty much a joke of a station. Most of the personalities are flat, boring, and it's just so hard to listen. I wish they flush most of them, and get some personalities more interesting, and knowledgeable.

Hard to ignore the fact that once the guy was kicked out of football related decisions that the leaks stopped. Especially considering that his job was to create media buzz about the teams.

switz1610 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Would be crazy if Russ was the leak b/c a reporter had the dirt on his improprieties. A situation like that would support this statement: " but the investigation indicated he was deceitful about that and other job-related issues that were uncovered" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Paul Hamilton said on Schopp and BD that there was major tension between McD and Russ to the point McD didn’t want Russ in the same room as him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t like it. I’m fine with him on defense but our offense decision have been pretty brutal. It’s kinda insane to give this much power to a first year head coach. But it it’s pretty much on the Allen pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him enough rope to hang himself if it doesn't work out. I will say that I think Beane has plenty of power in this organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
