bananathumb Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 No house cleaning. The circle jerks are just going to switch offices. Typical Wilson garbage and end to a horrible year.
NY Nole Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 on the bright side -- in a year, people can simply reverse his name and have a simple sign to hold up at RWS.
N.Y. Orangeman Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Maybin Way, way too early to put him in the bust column
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 for christ sake will get off maybins back, he needs to get stronger, give him time. he is only 21 let him grow into his body......
Brandon Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 You don't understand something quite simple: 70 year old men don't get their first GM gig in the NFL. It doesn't happen. If by the age of 70 with many years in the NFL a guy hasn't gotten the top football job for a NFL team, there's a pretty darn good reason why. Well, I guess that begs the question: What is that reason? My suspicion is that his biggest liability is age, and to be honest, I really couldn't care less about that. I'd rather have a good talent evaluator for the next five years than a bad one for the next ten.
No Cease Fires Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 on the bright side -- in a year, people can simply reverse his name and have a simple sign to hold up at RWS. Well played, sir.
scribo Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 You are right. I would have doubted it too. I appreciate your attitude through all this. You were right, and I will give you the benefit of the doubt next time around. That said, I hope you come back and post again when you have some good info. So, does this mean Marty Ball in Buffalo?
Chilly Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I think the real question is - does Nix have an eye for coaches? That's going to be the biggest decision he makes this year, and he's never made that choice before. It'll be interesting to see what happens there. Also - Nix is a 3-4 guy, isn't he?
Hazed and Amuzed Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hey nevergiveup, good call. Now tell me more about Marty... You mentioned Marty a couple of times, do you have any info on that?
Numark Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I don't understand why everyone hates this move. He was with us 1 year and we already had our best draft of the decade. So what if he was an in-house promotion. He isn't responsible 1 bit for the current state of **** we are in.
BarkLessWagMore Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 for christ sake will get off maybins back, he needs to get stronger, give him time. he is only 21 let him grow into his body...... Hey you made a post without mentioning Cowher!! Congrats!!
AxelRipper Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 wait... brandon is going to be CEO... wasnt that ralphs job?
drhockey Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 The Bills interviewed John Guy and Tom Modrak for the GM position?!?!?! What the ?!?! Way to go through with the thorough process and evalaution for the position OBD. Why oh why do we have to put up with this garbage?!?! They better develop a kick a$$ coaching staff (ahem, *cough* Cowher *cough*) or else this is going to be the best definition of EPIC FAIL we have ever seen. Here is the Channel 4 information for reference... Buffalo Bills to name new G.M. Updated: Thursday, 31 Dec 2009, 1:19 PM EST Published : Thursday, 31 Dec 2009, 12:47 PM EST John Murphy Posted by: Emily Lenihan ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - Buffalo Bills have called a 2:30 p.m. news conference Thursday to announce the appointment of a new general manager. Sources tell News 4 Sports that Buddy Nix will be named the team's new general manager. Nix has served as the Bills national scout for the past season. He rejoined the Bills this past January, after spending several years as a football personnel executive with the San Diego Chargers. Sources tell News 4 sports, the Bills interviewed two other in-house candidates for the job, Tom Modrak and John Guy, and settled on Nix as the GM. The announcement is expected to be made official at 2:30. http://www.wivb.com/dpp/sports/Buffalo-Bil...ress-conference

JCBoston Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 From Wikipedia: "Nix is considered by some to be one of the top 5 talent evaluators in the NFL. The Chargers have won 4 out of the last 5 AFC West Titles with Nix as Assistant GM and Director of Player Personnel, in charge of college scouting and instrumental to the decision making process of their NFL drafts." If Nix was in fact responsible for the Chargers personnel, then he would be, IMO, the best man for the job. He knows this team and what needs to be fixed, and has a great grasp on selecting players to fit needs. Perfect choice. But, of course, people won't like it because he's not a "big name". Well, for my money, the big names mostly fail on their second time around.
Coach Tuesday Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I don't understand why everyone hates this move. He was with us 1 year and we already had our best draft of the decade. So what if he was an in-house promotion. He isn't responsible 1 bit for the current state of **** we are in. 1) that's not saying much 2) you mean the draft that featured a blown 11th pick and no left tackle selection?
May Day 10 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I don't understand why everyone hates this move. He was with us 1 year and we already had our best draft of the decade. So what if he was an in-house promotion. He isn't responsible 1 bit for the current state of **** we are in. past track record with Wilson/Brandon at the helm. Another old man. The other interviewees were also internal guys who have had a huge hand in this predicament. Almost shows the only intent is to reorganize the chairs on the Titanic
