LGB Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Let's face it, the Bills aren't making long term plans because the owner is nearly 91. The stadium lease is up after 2012, the front office is eerily the same as it was when TD was around, and the HC couldn't get fired despite going 2-8 to finish 2008. What this team needs is something akin to what Arthur Blank, then owner Wayne Huizenga, and Clark Hunt have done with Atlanta, Miami, and KC respectively. They blew up the franchise, from GM on down and went into total rebuild mode. Except a funny thing happened to the first two teams last season. They hired competent front office people in Tom Dimitroff and Bill Parcells who brought a new attitude to the team in the wake of repeated failures. TD may have failed, but that's no cause to avoid allowing football people to make football decisions. There is one reason why Russ Brandon is GM (head marketing guy) or whatever his is - he has filled the stadium. End of story. It will only be when the tickets are not selling (or RW's lease is up) that anything will change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 And just who was it who selected Fewell and Schonert in the first place? One of the single most important responsibilities of a head coach is to choose good coordinators and assistant coaches. Dick Jauron has total control of his staff. Next question. In the spirit of blaming fans for the franchise's problems, I nominate you as the QB curse. You ran Kelly Holcomb out of the NFL and now Edwards can't find the endzone in the preseason. You are a walking QB jinx for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
