Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 28 Posted January 28 1 hour ago, Cheektowaga Chad said: His statement lost all credibility when he says babich is better He said he's a better CEO leader, not a coach. There's likely no way any posters here would know that and can't believe Sal would have had that much access either to be able to draw that conclusion Quote

bouds Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Its easy to see why he prefers one to the other, just listen to Babich vs Bradys press conferences. Whos knows how this goes, I didnt expect Brady either. Quote
White Linen Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) When Sal first started getting noticed by his podcast and then his gradual rise to WGR and Bills work, I sought out listening. He's become insufferable to me. He could be and probably is a great person but I don't like listening to him anymore. Edited January 28 by White Linen 2 4 Quote
BRH Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Look, I get it. People are upset. There's no doubt about it. That's really what it's come down to, at least for me. I mean, think about it. We know that. I do this for a living. 1 1 Quote

Sal sounds like all of us. He was on his podcast when it was announced. He was surprised, but he didn't pan it. Quote
Madbillsfan Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I cringe when he does his spots on the radio and he answers to online criticism and questions. Just stick to the topic bro. 1 Quote
HomeskillitMoorman Posted January 28 Posted January 28 If Sal's saying that, I'm 100% behind the Brady hire. This guy is a massive sellout, and I'm someone who knows him from all the way back when his show was on JustinTV. As soon as the Bills started giving him access, he totally changed and became State-Run media for whoever in the organization gave him the time of day. You could literally tell who gave him access by what his content morphed into and he'd make complete asinine defenses for certain people. 1 1 1 2 Quote
LetsGoRed Posted January 28 Posted January 28 The whole "CEO" thing strikes me as silly anyway. We don't know what Beane's vision of a CEO is and I doubt we will. At the end of the day, a CEO is always beholden to their board and shareholders (which should include fans, but I sincerely doubt it does in this instance 🙃). I just want Brady to not suck. It's a small ask. Quote
RobbRiddick Posted January 28 Posted January 28 What is it with this "CEO of the team" crap? This is the first time I've ever heard an NFL use the term about a coach and I keep hearing it all the time now 1 1 Quote
BillsFan2313 Posted January 28 Posted January 28 The Bills could hire the OP and Sal would love it. 1 1 Quote
Don Otreply Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) Sal will be back to kissing azs in a matter of weeks, he knows where his bread is buttered, lol Edited January 28 by Don Otreply 3 Quote

Marv was probably the classic example of this approach. It also means that the hiring of the assistant coaches -- especially the coordinators -- is paramount. That is why I am reserving judgement on the Brady hire until I see what his staff looks like. Edited January 28 by 2003Contenders Quote

But, I haven’t reached the point not wanting to listen to him anymore. I don’t mind his pod with Bove. But I’m also starting to feel about Jeremy White in this manner. Seems like a good dude. I’ll listen to WGR and bills squad but once he starts saying how the bills offense has let them down the last 3 years in the playoffs. They have on the last drive but they’re putting up almost 30 pts a game… I just roll my eyes and zone out. 1 Quote
muppy Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) Sal who? J/K he has a right to his opinion. It's like noses we all have one the weight that opinion deserves is the question he's a talking head paid for his thoughts. they can be taken with as large a grain of salt as we wish and being on the record allows he to either crow OR eat crow in the future NEXT Edited January 28 by muppy Quote

That is why I am reserving judgement on the Brady hire until I see what his staff looks like. To add to that... IMO, winning a super bowl is obviously an important feather in the cap of any coach, but to me the truly great coaches are the ones that have extensive coaching trees. Developing/managing the coaches on their staff is job #1 for a head coach, even more than getting the players to play well. I think that is the biggest difference between Beane and Mcdermott. Beane has successfully identified and developed several executives, Mcdermott has "developed" ONE guy and that guy hated him (and was probably developed with the patriots and Alabama). CEOs set the vision and trust their staff to execute. Empowering your staff in turn allows them to grow. Edited January 28 by Mikey152 3 Quote
Virgil Posted January 28 Posted January 28 2 hours ago, GerstAusGosheim said: 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. I stopped reading at Babbich 1 Quote
Behindenemylines Posted January 28 Posted January 28 2 hours ago, Rocbillsfan1 said: People are just finding ways to be upset instead of just looking at the obvious problem which was McDermott and his in game management decisions and terrible playoff defense. Stop trying to read too much into what Pegula said or didn’t say. Just use some common sense people. Common sense is asking a lot. it’s so emotional and Bills fans are fanatically passionate about every aspect of this team-and that passion sets certain absolutes-which are in fact opinions many times. Facts sometimes take a backseat to opinion. McD was not getting the job done which is a fact, it’s his job to win games and a SB. That’s his job. Whether it was someone else’s fault blah blah blah doesn’t matter as HIS job was not being performed well enough. how he was fired, timing, was it “gentle” or respectful enough-all opinion. Honestly he’s a grown man making millions of dollars. He knew going into this eventually you get fired if you don’t win a championship. How people did he fire over the years for not doing their job? Lots I bet. 2 1 Quote
