Coach Tuesday

The GM had no input into the decision to fire the coach?

Your opinion of EJ was like one of his passes...

Dareus

I don't read it that way at all...

Come on

I also think the Pegulas continued their practice of meeting directly with players throughout the season, and became convinced that Rex was not doing his job effectively.

Adams please

This team may still be ten years away...

Interesting list. Goodwin will get some looks this offseason, perhaps in Denver or Arizona (if Arians retires). There are going to be a bunch of attractive job openings like Denver and LA, it's not a great time to have to hire a new coach.

Why are we arguing about this?

Nice post.

Seems pretty complete to me yes. Leaks, horrible contracts, political infighting, constant turnover.

Some fans want so desperately to believe in the Bills that they simply cannot allow themselves to acknowledge that the organization is in a state of complete dysfunction. Admitting that would be giving up short-term hope in the team, and their psyche won't allow it. They've invested too much.

He's a special teams coach

He'll go top 3 when all is said and done. It's a shame, I'd love a shot.

Ok BUT, if you're the GM working with Rex to put together the right roster for the kind of team he's building, shouldn't it ultimately be your responsibility either to (i) force him to adapt his system to the available personnel (to the extent that is possible, which under the Pegulas' "dotted horizontal line" structure it might not have been), and/or (ii) at the very least, if the safety position is critical to the system your coach runs, come into the season with enough depth at that position so that your entire season doesn't hinge on the health of a guy who is one hit away from a wheelchair? What the HELL was Whaley doing all offseason? Does he even talk to his coaches? There were a number of quality safeties available to sign or trade for. I accept your premise, but to me, it puts equal (if not more) blame on Whaley.

Yep. The nightmare will continue when he and Rob have their Fox Pregame show next year and use the opportunity to blast the Bills every chance they get.

100% correct

Except he wasn't "run out of town" so maybe you have dementia.

IMO that's exactly what happened.

Not only that, FC's narrative is that the Pegulas "forced out" Marrone, and that Sammy must be referring to that event (which never even happened). Someone needs to take their meds...

It's obvious to you that he's talking about Doug Marrone? That's nuts.

What are you talking about?

Yes, except he didn't hold himself accountable. Part of the "Saint Doug" ethos was setting things up just right so that the blame could never fall on him. That act wore thin very quickly.
