margolbe Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Never hear anything really meaningful from upper management. I understand that Pegula's kids are in involved, but in what capacity? Who does Beane account to. Are they happy with how things are? I doubt Jerry Jones would be this quiet. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Arnold Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I never want to hear from the owner. And I don't care to hear from the GM during the season. And I never want to hear from the owner. Did I mention that? Seriously, what's the point? 3 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margolbe Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 I would like to hear from the owner. Even Hal Steinbrenner got involved this year when the Yankees were plummeting (although it didn't do they much good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a head coach who needs firing and it's important to know who might be making the call on such an important decision. Obviously, Beane would be involved, but who else? Terry himself, or does he have underlings to whom he's delegated responsibility for decisions like this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things are going badly, someone has to step in to let fans know they know whats going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Both McD and Beane report directly to Terry. This has been know for a while I believe. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Pegula is head of the organization and the owner. There is absolutely nothing that would indicate he is not the primary decision maker. McDermott reports to him directly. This is not a mystery. Some people seem to need to create confusion where none exists. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Beane can just stop wanting to watch his players lose games that most fans could close out? I mean, I don’t want the owner making football decisions the guy knows nothing about sports but can we get a football guy in the building to say McDermott is killing us? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Terry has the last word, but are there others within his organization who would be involved in the decision, other than Beane? It’s an important question and you didn’t answer it.

But don't most teams have a structure where the owner sits over the GM and the GM sits over the HC? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14774 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 While we don't know what, if anything, has been said behind closed doors, it would be nice to hear a Pegula express their displeasure publicly. Maybe it would "light a fire" under coaches/players behinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsflyer12 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) My questions: Does Beane have the authority to fire McDermott? Would Beane fire McDermott if he had the authority to do so? Any way Beane would stay within organization without McDermott? Does Terry ever attend Bills games home or away? Are any of the Pegulas actually in WNY ever? Edited November 28, 2023 by Billsflyer12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
