I like Sal.

 

His opinion on these things is the same as ours.  He is just offering it.  

 

There has been no indication he does not like brady in anyway.  

 

also Sal is not a journalist nor claims to be...The people in this thread sarcastically calling him that are pretty goofy.  

 

 

 

Then what is he ?

And all of the interest in Brady over the last two years that has turned into exactly zero head coaching jobs offered to him until the Bills themselves cronied him.  I have no idea about anything Babich, so I'm not sticking up for him, but Brady wasn't exactly being barred from leaving any other team's building without the head job.

Not indicative about anything substantial as far as Brady is concerned. The fact that he did not get hired as an HC up until now it’s not a negative reflection on him. As you and I both know, he is highly regarded around the league. Respectfully, your point is quite irrelevant.

He is a reporter, which is considered a journalist. He does a podcast and writes columns. Some of it he locks behind being a subscriber to his twitter. He is a journalist.

 

He flip flops his opinion constantly.  I used to like the dude a lot but his promotion got to his head and now he is a corporate boy.

Saying Babich is a better "CEO" is a stretch.  

 

I think what he probably means is that Babich is more available to the media. 

 

A lot of the WGR complaints seem to stem from the fact that Brady is not exciting enough for them to make content about. The whining that he doesn't generate enough quotes gave me such an eye roll. 

Bingo.  Local media values access above ALL else and they perceive that Brady will not be as accessible as they like.

Not that the Bills care what a reporter thinks....but given he has such close access to the club, maybe they should...

 

One day before Bills name Brady HC, Sal states on his podcast…

 

“I just can’t see it (the Bills elevating Brady). I never thought this job would go to him. I don’t know if I would be on board with the move. Bobby Babbich is a much more CEO type leader than Joe Brady. That’s my reservation with Joe. I don’t know if he’s ready for the CEO type role.”

 

A lot of people on this board are not on board either...and agree with some of those statements...But given how much of a Sean homer Sal became, I'm surprised he made those honest, risky statements. Good luck with that burned bridge.

 

If anyone is a regular caller or tweeter, hope you press him on that. Especially after mocking so many callers who said Sean isn’t going anywhere.

Few thoughts:

 

1.  State Sponsored Propaganda - this is an extremely light disagreement of the move, designed to make Sal look objective. "I'm on your side."  His objection is set up to be easily disproved, something like "Josh was really behind this move."  It's a classic COINTELPRO tactic (seriously), once originated by the FBI but has been adapted heavily through everything including business, advertising, etc etc.

 

TL:DR  It's an intentional very soft objection, easily refuted, intended to make him look like an everyman... while "solving" the objection.  

 

2. They buried the lead.  It feels like a soft launch for Babich staying.  Maybe that's what Brady wants, or the club wants... or even trying to dampen the flames so that they have him as our fallback guy if they don't get the DC they want.  

 

That doesn't mean this can't be the right move (Brady, Babich would be a dog chit move), but they're being salesman here.  Trying to cool the flames of fans/media, while also selling, idk $50k+ PSL's.

Seems like he simply said he didn’t think the Bills would promote Brady and he didn’t know how he would feel about it if they did. Sal sounds like all of us. 

AND THERE IT IS FOLKS ^^^

This is just an anecdote, but my very close friend was out to dinner and happened to get seated at a table next to Joe Brady. He didn't want to make a scene or anything, but he just mentioned to him that he loved the Bills and thanked him for the work he was doing with the team. Brady was kind enough to extend the conversation and talked football (my friend is a former college offensive lineman) for 5-10 minutes.

 

I guess I'm just saying he seems approachable enough, so I don't know what the big deal is.

Seeing the people that are upset with the hire is actually making me feel even better. It’s all of the most tone deaf, clueless shills that are struggling with it. I hope McDermott opens a Dollar tree or something so all his blind followers can go work with the chosen one

In fairness to all those radio guys, got to be tough to keep it fresh and informative everyday, 20 hours a week. Though, while it’s understandable, Schopp’s lifting bits to break the monotony usually makes for bad radio.

Is it really a dream job at what he makes salary wise? 

[Man with No Name]

This is tricky and he may have shown them something in interviews that they hadn't seen before. Sean was a very strong CEO type, and the thing is, there can only be ONE CHIEF. Some people kind of don't get that, and step on toes in an effort to try to assert themselves as some kind of sub chief. Some people, and im like this, will sit back in their role dutifully if somebody else is strongly filling the chief role. They're not gonna be the chief until it's their turn to be a chief. 

 

Hopefully Brady has had those qualities when he's behind closed doors, with just his offense, and Sal isn't around. I don't know what his access looks like. I have to admit it's a little bit worrying if he's around the team as much as some of you make out that he is. I don't really keep up with that stuff.

I would differ.  What we do know is that he was highly interesting.  That doesn't mean well regarded.  I'm sure there were teams that could have thought, this guy is riding Allen's coattails.   Other teams might have liked him. 

 

But unlike say, Ben Johnson, he wasn't hired or coveted to the point where teams thought they had to have him to succeed. And he had zero offers.  Who knows what happened, but the facts are, he landed zero jobs until the Bills cronied him.  My point wasn't made to be relevant I guess.  But it is 100% factual.  Read into it what you will.
