nucci Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 For those that cannot watch it, Ralph announced that Nix will:-Oversee football operations -Will hire the head coach -Russ will become the CEO, a "promotion, I guess" -Oversee all football activities. -Will not be involved in marketing and other front office dealings. Thanks. Don't mind the 1st two.
Brandon Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Look around the league and tell me how many 70+year old GM's there are. If Buffalo is the only one, there's an issue. Kinda like when the team didn't have a GM from 2006-2009. You're right, most execs peak about twenty years earlier, but its still a case of applying a generality to a specific person. Every person is different. If Buddy Nix is still a top talent evaluator at this stage of life, and I've yet to see an argument otherwise, I have no issue at all with his age or his promotion to GM.
billnutinphoenix Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 So he can interview Ron Rivera for the HC job during the Chargers' bye week? I think that's a 100% guarantee...
Brandon Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Buddy sounds like a good old southern boy....where was he born? Carbon Hill, Alabama.
BarkLessWagMore Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 So he can interview Ron Rivera for the HC job during the Chargers' bye week? I would love that. Rivera will be a great one, IMO.
Heels20X6 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Buddy sounds like a good old southern boy....where was he born? Alabama!
DPR4444 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 well at least they aren't bring back Jauron. or Perry

boyst Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Nix: "My stengths are football and personel." "I am not the smartest guy around. I'm not the smartest guy in the room." "I'm not afraid to tell you I don't know." "I'm just trying to help us win." "Every decision we make will be to help us win a game." "I see a little disappointment on your face, I know this is not one of the genius ya'll wanted." "It does not matter what kind of splash we make today, it matters that two or three years from today we got this in the right direction." "You're not that far away in this league. The league is watered down." Bits of quotes from Nix. More will come
Billsguy Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Buddy sounds like a good old southern boy....where was he born? My favorite part was him saying how "not smart" he is over and over. Alright we get it - you are not smart! Join the club at One Bills Drive. You should feel right at home.
Nanker Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Can I just say that this is one of the most ridiculous press conferences I've ever seen. This is a straight up clown show. I love it. What got you? "I'm not the smartest guy in the room?"
DrDawkinstein Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 this Nix press conference is painful to listen to. he's all over the map.
DPR4444 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Buddy Nix - "Bills are not that far away" League parity, etc. - most games are won or lost on 2 or 3 plays
G-Daddy Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Nix Carbon Hill, AL. Hopefully he's got the shotgun propped in the window of his pick up truck.....it will be useful to get rid of the dead wood in the organization.
DrDawkinstein Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 "i can see youre all disappointed that its not one of the geniuses standing up here" or something along those lines yeesh
Adam Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Doesn't bother me. If he puts together a good scouting staff, he will do fine- the scouting staff does a lot of the work for the GM. The GM prioritizes. Give him a chance- he will succeed or fail on his own merits, and we don't know what t hose are yet.
FluffHead Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 This just in: Buddy Nix thinks he is stupid.
