BillsVet Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 If Modrak gets the job, the chances that Cowher will come here gets bumped up a notch. If Nix gets the job, the chances that we'll actually bring in quality FAs (and draftees) gets bumped a notch. To be honest, I REALLY hope Nix is our new GM. He's the type of football mind we need making decisions. Why on all three points? 1. Modrak getting the job means status quo, no house-cleaning, and RW/Littman run the show. Besides, Modrak has refused offers to be the GM before. He likes being in FLA and acting as top scout. 2. Nix won't be controlling the purse strings. It's ironic that he's been in the NFL for a long time, and hasn't been promoted to being a GM. Now at 70 he's capable. K 3. He's a solid mind, but he won't have control over football operations. Promoting him would be the Bills saying their front office is good enough, which it isn't. Guy, Modrak, Overdorf, et al need to go.
papazoid Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 It's Nix. Modrak will stay through the draft and then be gone or in a consulting role. Nix would be outstanding !!......while not a sexy pick, he has solid credentials.........i still would like to know who made the final call on drafting Maybin.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Nix oversaw drafts that netted the following players: LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Quentin Jammer, Igor Olshansky, Michael Turner, Shaun Phillips, Shawne Merriman, Luis Castillo, Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles, Antonio Cromartie and Marcus McNeill. Yes, I'll take me a piece of that.
theesir Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I heard someplace it might be Nix, but can't remember where....
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 might be decosta as new gm. knowing russ he would probably hire someone fresh to get the fan base excited......
Nevergiveup Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 You're pretty set on it being Nix, eh? Yes. It's already done.
DarthICE Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 OK I just woke up and heard this on sportscenter....Did they say Perry Fewell is likely to stay in buffalo? I thought i heard that They better not keep his ass as HC

This is not it. Nix can be director of scouting but not GM.
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 nix is to old, we need someone new and young that nix can groom.....
turdferguson Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I just saw on profootball talk that there likely naming tom modrak gm. Unf***ing believible. way to start the new year off with a swift kick in the balls. well at least now ill have motivation to drink heavily tonight. Same old crap lets promote some worthless pile of crap that should be fired if someone competent was hired. I want to punch my computer in the face really hard right now.
scribo Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Yes. It's already done. What makes you so sure?
Coach Tuesday Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Yes. It's already done. I'm afraid you're right. What is your source?
nucci Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 nix is to old, we need someone new and young that nix can groom..... Groom for what?
DarthICE Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 If they have made Nix the GM, then folks it is still gonna suck. AGAIN Ralph not willing to relinquish power to a REAL !@#$ing GM!!!
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Ralph: I would just like to take one final crap on this Decade of Fail and announce that...
Nevergiveup Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I'm afraid you're right. What is your source? It is getting out. Internal meeting at 1:30 to announce before the formal at 2:30. I have couple different people that have confirmed.
Maddog69 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Man, this story has grown legs and is running like Usain Bolt. I wouldn't mind Nix being made GM. I would not necessarily mind Nix, but why not wait another week or two and atleast interview some other qualified candidates before naming Nix ? Seems like another shortsighted move by the Bills.
Coach Tuesday Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 It is getting out. Internal meeting at 1:30 to announce before the formal at 2:30. I have couple different people that have confirmed. Well, thanks for the scoop. This organization runs like the Bush administration. Do a crap job, get yourself promoted. Heckuva job, Nixie!
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 maybe cowher said he would be our coach if nix and modrak run the operations.......
Fingon Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 If they have made Nix the GM, then folks it is still gonna suck. AGAIN Ralph not willing to relinquish power to a REAL !@#$ing GM!!! Nix would be an extremely capable GM, I don't know why people are bitching.
