whatdrought Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 1 hour ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Those are valid points: limited draft capital is an issue Easterby is a problem and to his credit, unlike Bob McNair, Cal grew a set and said Easterby wont by GM, Easterby will be gone Not the same authority structure when the sole owner dies definite issue i’d want that to happen before accepting the job- gone, not just moved to a different area. Cal McNair has been involved in the process for years and was the chairman of the organization since 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm hoping that Malik Boyd & Lake Dawson both get GM jobs & we're swimming in 3rd round comp picks. Then the Bills should replace them with the brightest young minority candidates and keep developing those young executives and getting draft choices. The only thing I don't understand is why the team that hires the new GM doesn't get rewarded as well. Instead of two 3rd round comp picks to the team that developed him, they should make it one for the developing team & 1 for the hiring team.

BornAgainBillsFan Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 In Beane I trust!! This is all part of his master plan, to install proteges high up in front offices around the league, so he can best them in deals for their most talented players, as they are needed. GENIUS!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory if Houston hires Boyd and Boyd takes Frazier for HC, the Texans revamp their front office and on-field coaching with a transfusion of Bills culture, at the cost of making the NFL pay the Bills 3 3rd rounders in the next 2 drafts.

Warcodered Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I mean to look at this positively draft picks and becoming a place known for getting guys promoted out makes us a destination for talented people wanting to work their way up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills organization is deep and strong...including the coaching staff. On another note, I hate that they’re allowing this while the season is still going on. I understand it but really dislike it. yeah they really should not allow this during the season. but of a distraction, but perhaps less for that position than in offseason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't they? With all due respect this 3rd round compensation has got to be one of the stupidest rules ever. If the guy is the best person for the job hire him. If he is not ready and you hire a guy because he is a minority what will that do for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 23 hours ago, whatdrought said: Not sure why anyone in Buffalo would want to work for the Texans after Gaines’ experience - I get that BOB is gone, but the issues that created BOB still seem well rooted. Drought, I remember the story, but as you said, since the dad is gone, he probably would make part of the negotiations in the interview his ability to make all personnel and football decisions only needing the approval of ownership. He goes there if given the opportunity, and the it’s a battle between Bieniemy and Daboll probably for th HC job. Too many positives about both jobs. Between QB’s, and familiarity with GM’s, it’s a no brainer. As I mentioned before, I’m happy for anyone getting a deserved promotion. It’s what each of these guys has been planning most of their professional lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of two 3rd round comp picks to the team that developed him, they should make it one for the developing team & 1 for the hiring team. It’s a good point. Why would anyone hire a non-minority for any job below and including OC/DC? You can hire a non-minority, but he better be better than all other applicants AND potentially (2) 3rd round picks if he was to succeed. I mean why hire/develop young non-minority personnel when doing so brings no benefit to the organization? Look, as mentioned before, the pool of individuals who can PLAY in the NFL is completely different than the pool of people who can COACH in the NFL. Just because the pool of players is racially imbalanced, it doesn’t mean that all aspects it touches also has to have the same racial imbalance. I think the idea came from the right place, but the execution is trash. If the real goal is to break up the good ‘ol boys club, this is not the right way to do it and to be honest, probably won’t work. Leaving the perceived good ‘ol boys club safe and intact (seriously how many sons of previous coaches are in the NFL?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the article it said if two minorities from your team get those promotions, you get three 3rds. Nothing said beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
