LabattBlue Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Our almost 90 year old owner is back to being team president...big deal. Modrak who's primary responsibility is college scouting is still in charge of college scouting...whoopee. John Guy is still in charge of pro player personnel...now I'm getting excited. MM is back...no comment TC has been fired...so what. MM was calling the plays for the 2nd half of last year anyways; status quo. The only significant change is the one yet to be announced, which is Levy will be the new GM/Director of Football Operations...I love Marv, but where is his experience as a front office person and don't tell me about what he did in the CFL. That garage league is a couple of notches below division III football. Call me negative, but where do I find the optimism in the moves stated above?

He's a smart man knows football and how to build are lines back to what they were. He's also a good judge of talent and from what I hear BEFORE anyone said he was getting this job is that he still has bounds of energy and takes very good care of himself. Relax. I think with Levy, Modrak, OC and DC we'll start winning again. Of corse I would have liked a new head coach but it's possible it could have set us back a couple of years.

stephenjames716 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 MM staying at the helm instills 0 confidence for the 2006-7 season. Ralph seems to have made his 1st mistake after taking back the president role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdelma Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Chalk up another mistake by Ralph, how many is that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 As much as I love Ralph and Marv, I don't know how open they'll be to change. The league's changed a lot since Marv has been involved and I don't know if he can adapt. Both Ralph and Marv and in superior physical condition and of course are very bright. But all this sounds like Ralph not wanting to bring "outsiders" into the organization who might challenge his mindset. Who was the last "big name" coach that Ralph brought in? Chuck Knox. I think Ralph's had a bad taste in his mouth ever since. At least some change was made. I also can't imagine Marv having to deal with contract negotiations and the more "business-type" stuff that the GM has to put up with. In Buffalo he focused only on coaching. Guess we're going to find out one way or the other..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdelma Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 How long did chuck stay here. Ralph hasn't figured that out yet. Its becoming a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved when Marv was our coach but an 80 year old GM is not the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
