I could have sworn there was another tweet from him, but I can't find it. It was tweeted right after this one below and was like a part 2 to it, but he must have deleted it. It said something to the effect that it's conjecture by the front office regarding them being kept (or his source) since wouldn't know if they were getting canned or not.... Joe Chenelly ‏@jchenelly 11h11 hours ago @nickellion79 Sweeping changes among coaches not front office. Of course, that's just an assumption by the front office.

If they aren't comfortable with letting the GM have the true authority of the job then fire the GM ...

We have never bottomed out. We had a chance and we were 0-8 and then we foolishly won 4 of our last 8 and that cost us Cam. Dareus is a great player, but it rests on the QB. You can have great coaches and no QB and not really go anywhere, can also have a great QB with lousy coaches and still not reach your potential. The team is aging, we spend lots of money and get no where other than 7-9, 8-8 or 9-7. We are stuck in the middle with the draft picks and honestly a front office that is unable to properly scout a QB. You need to find the right coach, get the right scouts/GM and find the damn QB. By finding the damn QB it isn't reaching for EJ or hoping that a 3rd or 4th rounder pans out; it is know the draft classes and make the move when the right player you believe in is there. I really don't want a rebuild, but it really feels like that is what we have to do and truly bottom out; otherwise we are just spinning the wheels as always. We have some good parts, but this is far from a superbowl team; is it really good enough to build a team to reach the playoffs? Then what get tossed out in the first round? Bad idea and terrible vision, it is a vision for losers. In the past 5 years we are in the top 5 in spending on salaries - what do we have to show for it? Is that a properly built team? Or is it a team that hands out bad contracts and does not have the capability to find the right players? Clear cap space the next year, eat the dead space on the bad contracts, bottom out and get capable people to find the damn QB and rebuild the team. The Raiders did a great job with that and the Browns are positioning themselves to do just that. I would gladly trade a horrible season or 2 and have a chance than what we have had the last 17 years... If Rex goes, Pegs has to clean house. You cannot sign Rex to a 5 year contract and cut bait after 2 and still keep what is viewed by many as the dysfunctional Bills front office. They should have hit the reset button once Marrone opted out; now is a prime opportunity to do just that and rebuild this team the right way. I fear if we don't we will be spinning the wheels in another year or 2 when Whaley is finally cast aside and we bring in a new GM who might not want the coach we hire now. We will still have no answer at QB and it will be rinse and repeat.

The Pegs should have fired them all when they bought the team...The true source is unable to identified, the cancer has spread throughout....

No one circles the rant wagons better than the Bills

This is such and awful decision and could hurt the franchise from a cap perspective; there is nothing to gain from this. TT is not going to prove his worth against the Browns, a terrible Jets team and the 'Phins. Do the smart thing and RG3/Kaep his a$s...

^This...

Joe Chenelly ‏@jchenelly Dec 11 @pawlikIII I hear nothing of any rumors regarding Rex. I do hear that the opinion of Tyrod has shifted for the negative. Joe Chenelly ‏@jchenelly 11h11 hours ago @nickellion79 Now hearing most all of One Bills Drive expects Rex to be gone immediately following the season. #BillsMafia Joe Chenelly ‏@jchenelly 11h11 hours ago @nickellion79 Sweeping changes among coaches not front office.

The problem you get into with him is that he was calling the shots as the GM or president/CEO for a few years and the decisions made during his tenure were awful. I surely do not want to be turning to him for advice on anything with the team. From a football standpoint, we were a bad team (still are) with no clear direction and/or strategy as far as building the team goes. He sat with Butler for 3 years to learn a bit in the late 90s, big deal. Chris Polian worked with his father for how long?

There is no way they let him leave; that is the only Harbaugh I want any part of....

Yup....Unless of course Pegs wants to become a Jerruh type of owner

It is clearly dysfunctional; how one could argue it isn't is beyond me. No one who is a fan of this team wants a full rebuild, but yet I think deep down everyone knows that is what has to happen. There is zero chance they fire Russ (Whaley and Overdorff too) its a shame. The problem is is that they only view it as year 2; their customers know more about the dysfunction of Ralph's trash this decade than they do. The owners changed, but the FO game, the FO team and the FO playbook are all the same. With their viewpoint, they aren't willing to blow it up yet and that sucks for the fans.

That is about it. I would toss Harbaugh in the mix - I don't want him though and I don't see any other college guy unless it is Sweeney which makes sense since we draft his team in the first round every year.... I forgot about that and that was a huge turning point for him....

Pegs will never do it, but they need to fire them all; the stench of RW lives on and is everywhere. They can claim it is year 2 for them and that it is different now; but it's the same front office making terrible decisions and they left the old "GM/CEO" in place; it is a problem...Russ is not just the business guy; like anyone working on a collaborative atmosphere he gives his input. Seeing that he now has the Sabres too, do the Pegs not take his advice seriously?

They have an awful GM and that hurt Coughlin as well as the team; he spent money this year and their D is much better. Eli is interesting while he is good and technically a franchise QB; he leaves a lot to be desired.All in all Coughlin did a good job in turning that team around...

I think he does pretty good against BB in big games though....

Holmgren was a great GM....

I'm a huge Yankee fan and 27 championships say that we know what excellence is and I am pretty sure we are the king of blockbuster deals; more so than the Red Sox BTW - good post

BB was a great D coordinator...

I think I read that that Coughlin was/is in Buffalo until this Wednesday...

JOHN is the one you want; what a great coach....

Human brains will naturally take the path of least resistance. His entire career and growth was based on him being more athletic than almost anyone else and being able to scramble and make plays; until the pros he never needed to learn to read defenses and to stay in the pocket. Steve Young didn't become "great" until he stopped running all the time and started to be a pocket passer. TT is a bit long in the tooth to develop those skills now.

We've tried to copy the Steelers since we hired Donahoe; I'm over that. Let's not copy anyone and just find good football people and try to be ourselves... BTW as a franchise our goal was to make the playoffs. Goal should always be to win the whole damn thing...

I should have scrolled down more before I responded, same basic answer I had! On a side note, Jimbo had football smarts, he studied lots of film with Frank and the rest of the offense...
