:bag: Nix is not from outside the organization. He works for the Bills. He was one of the people that pulled up stakes when John Butler loaded up the moving truck and drove off for San Diego. Nix has been passed over for a couple of GM jobs in the past, most recently the Falcons gig. He was AJ Smith's right-hand man but started talking about retirement after the Falcons went in another direction. The Bills hired him as a sort of scout emeritus, wanting to get his input for the draft.

 

Now, apparently he's been given some Viagra and is full of vim and vigor and ready to re-build a shattered organization from the mud up. OK, then.

Nix is in no way responsible for these Bills teams. It seems like people on this board just like to B word and moan.

As with every other thing the Bills ruin, what are the chances that Russ Brandon, fresh from whatever bunker he hides in, comes out and says........"We're all here for this big announcement"...................and then the feed cuts out like usual, so that nobody but the people in attendance can hear what he's saying?

You obviously know there is no way to actually prove it to you.

Don't be offended by the skepticism. First, we have had a LOT of posters claim to have inside info all to come up empty. Second, it says you registered here less than a week ago. Lastly and most significantly, I have heard from several people who are paid to get the info you claim to have that they have nothing so far.

Excuse me. The bitching is justified. How are you convinced that the Bills even did a thorough hiring search? They hired internally. What other GM candidates were even interviewed, seeing as how the season isn't over? And Brandon presumably gets promoted to President and COO. What has he done to justify that? He was almost singularly responsible for allowing the organization to go into the season with almost no chance of succeeding. And he gets promoted. Businesses are just not run this way.

Not offended. I am not sure how I can prove it you without compromising anyone.

What's with the Modrak talk though, I can't imagine what he's done that would show that he deserves that kind of promotion let alone not be fired

Apparently he has a strong relationship with Cowher. Modrak as GM could signal Cowher as HC. But Nix also worked with the chin before too, so who knows. As for Modrak, there are whispers that his draft picks were overruled by Dick(less) Jauron and Ralph. He targeted some of the players who we all said should have been drafted.

Typical lemmings, get excited for a lifelong scout that has been no more than a #2 to other GM's to get his first shot at running the show here.

 

No wonder this team sucks, fans are willing to go ga ga over anything

 

Expectations are low and people have been mentally trained to accept less. 10 years of bad football have taken too many to this point. And it's because they follow no other NFL football but the Bills, which means it's been a decade since a real front office was in place.

 

And because they fear not supporting the team will force them to move. They don't understand the team moves or doesn't regardless of them.
