Hawk Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Ralphs comments after the game leads most people to "Billieve" that MM is going to stay and that Modrak gets the GM job. Would it be so inconsievable that TD stays on as President? That way Ralph does not, have to pay anyone that is not actually working for him?? Hope not, but stranger things have happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Actually, I think this is the most likely scenario. The other moves would be to snit-can some or all of the following coaches/coordinators (note - not all are Pitt connected): OC-Tom Clements, Pittsburg TE-Mike Miller, Pittsburg OL-Frank Verducci, Dullass DC-Jerry Gray, Tennishoe S&C-Brad Roll, Dieami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I don't think there is any way you can keep TD in the organization without everyone wondering if every move made by the team has his fingerprints on it. RTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The only given is that Chuck Lester stays no matter what. He's probably walking around OBD today whistling dixie while the rest of the coaching staff are tip toeing through the office hoping to avoid RW.

No change of duties. 548399[/snapback] What's the number one responsibility of the President of the Bills? To make money. TD has done that. I agree with Hawk, this is the most likely scenario. BTW, does anyone have a list of DC's and OC's from Philly from the last 10 years. They will be the guys at the top of Modrak's list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fan Base, Local, and National Media will never let him forget keeping MM if he fails to make a HUGE leap next Season...You think it's ugly now? Just wait if RW keeps MM and the Bills finish worse that 9-7 at the very least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sound_n_Fury Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 He will be fired this week, team sources have told The News. The move is most likely to happen at midweek. Doesn't get much more clear than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wait? I was advocating giving them the boot after the Miami meltdown. Ralph could have easily elevated Modrak a month ago, and handed the reigns over to Wyche for the interim.

Not quite as stupid as he looked when Sam Gash had to turn around at the LOS and give him 3 fingers to tell him the snap count when he filled in for Travesty Henry. But close.

I see an abysmal failure. 549175[/snapback] Well- he hasn't overreached on need players- doing that is insane. The Bills have been very profitable under his watch- what could possibly justify just getting rid of him, except to satisfy a few vindictive fans....people who will come to the games regardless of whether they fire him or not. So tell me- how does getting rid of him altogether make us better- even if he is just moved to President with Modrak taking over as GM. I'd rather have a quality person such as him associated with the team- he has class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ralph should keep him around because he's a class act? I'm a nice guy, but if I don't produce my bosses will get rid of me, and they won't wait five years to do it. He's failed...end of story.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thats true, but the Bill's also have Russ Brandon to take care of that. 6 or 7 weeks ago, I would have tended to agree, but now I think TD is gone!
