Man I hate when this ***** starts during the Playoffs.

 

Who cares man it's front office personnel, not a coach! Let him interview away.  And fingers crossed he gets it too, not only good for him and his family but that's is two extra 3rd round picks for the Bills!

Yes this one will probably be perfectly fine. but it's the overall concept of coordinators and what not looking to interview or work on their resume right now during the Playoffs when it's the most critical part of the season.

It goes to show how respected league wide Brandon Beane is. Assistants of his are consistently looked at for GM jobs.

Gray and Boyd will get GM jobs soon. Good news is Gaine probably doesn’t get another job so he’ll have his partner for awhile.

I hear you but when two 3rd round picks are involved I'm not going to think twice about it, it's a net positive.  Part of the consequences of being a successful franchise, other teams want your personnel.  Would you rather us suck and not have anyone looking to hawk our guys?

Rooney Rule required interview imho.  Has been primarily a scout and assistant player personnel guy to date.   Is 3rd in line to Beane here now.  Director of player personnel at this time.

If Gray gets the job that would be 4 young GM’s Brandon Beane hired.
 

Brian Gaine

Joe Schoen

Dan Morgan

 

 

Dan isn't a GM yet. But yes, would be a 3rd guy from Brandon's GM tree. The first staff he hired here was a complete all star staff. Pegs must of got the cheque book out. 

 

I am not totally sold on TG as a GM. He seems a nervous and uncomfortable communicator a bit in the Whaley mode. And I think communication is a big part of the job. But if he gets it I will root for him to succeed.

He’s taking over in Carolina. Gray does seem very quiet in videos of the front office.

I hope he gets it ASAP.  

 

(Jim Rome listeners will understand) In Al Davis voice: Mark, this is your father, hire Terrance Gray!

Absolutely! We would get two 3rd round picks in back to back drafts!

I fully expect the Raiders to keep their interim GM and Head Coach.  The interim GM is the guy Davis initially wanted to hire but second guessed himself.  That said, Gray isn't necessarily the Rooney rule candidate because Champ Kelly the interim GM isnt white.

They changed the rule.  Even if your interim GM or coach is a minority, they must interview a minority candidate from outside the organization.  I didn't know that until someone recently explained why the Raiders couldn't just sign Pierce to a new contract until they interview a minority candidate from outside the organization.  

Updated Rooney Rule:  

Clubs must conduct an in-person interview with at least one external minority candidate for any GM or head coaching interview. Clubs must continue to consider multiple diverse candidates. Clubs must maintain complete records and provide them to the league upon the Commissioner's request.

Dang it!  I bet he takes Beane with him....ughhhhh

Yeah, but Grande Gonad Gray doesn't have the same ring that Big Baller Beane does. So we still win if you think about it.

don’t be obtuse.  Clearly not that.  But asking for coordinators is distracting.  

 

 

It's a thread about the pro personnel guy, not any of the Bills coordinators, so the comment of "this ****" happening during the playoffs doesn't apply.

 

even if they were interviewing a coordinator, I have no reason to believe that any player would really be distracted by that.  they all know it's a business.

 

fans are constantly projecting their thoughts and feelings on players--I get that.  but there's no reason at all to think they care.

We would. In next year's draft.

Problem is the calendar is too tight for that. It puts hiring teams waaay behind the 8 ball for free agency and to a lesser extent for the draft too. This new rule that you can't interview coaches before 21 Jan is as far as they can afford to go.

Brian Gaine is a Parcells guy though.
