I could mis-remember, but I believe Modrak had his name on the (in)famous "Time To Clean House" billboard.

Makes one wonder why John Guy got the ax after the 2009 season and Modrak remained. Both were hired long ago by a GM who's not in the NFL. Both were promoted to VP after the 2008 season, and of course both had equally bad records in their side of the personnel house.

 

I get the impression the major reason Guy was fired was because fans had learned his name and knew how bad the pro personnel side of the house had been of late. Perhaps if enough people complain about Modrak, RW and his marketing people will sense an opportunity to satisfy the fan base by cutting the Director of Amateur Scouting.

Guy was the only other candidate interviewed for the "GM of Football" post, satisfying the Rooney Rule. That he didn't get the job made him, well, expendable.

 

The interesting thing was that even though his contract was about to expire anyway, the Bills took the time to punch his ticket a few weeks early. Not even a warm handshake for the guy, apparently. "We're only interested in scouting guys that want to play here."
