Fan in Chicago Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 very interseting Just got the text message. Wow !
Golden Wheels Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 http://twitter.com/#!/AdamSchefter Bills announced that Tom Modrak has been relieved of his duties as Vice President of College Scouting.
Phlegm Alley Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Just read it on the Buffalo Bills website. I wonder why after the draft?
muffmonster Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I'm confused, if they were unhappy with him, then why go through the draft and dump him afterwards.
nucci Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Per Bills text alert Bills Update The Buffalo Bills today announced that Tom Modrak has been relieved of his duties as Vice President of College Scouting. from bb.com
K Gun Special Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I'm confused, if they were unhappy with him, then why go through the draft and dump him afterwards. he prob wasnt very involved.
McBeane Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Just read it on the Buffalo Bills website. I wonder why after the draft? I assume so they can start fresh for next year and because it wouldn't make much sense to fire him before the draft after all the work that was put in towards it.
Alphadawg7 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Glad to see him go, but yeah why was this done after the draft?
Thoner7 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 FINALLY!!!! This dude has blown chunks for years and its great to have him outta here. He was prob clamoring for terrible prospects all draft weekend and Buddy was tired of his crappy evaluating “skill”. Whitner/McCargo/Maybin/etal... thanks for nothing Modrak - I hope the door hits you on your way out!!!! I would love to hear from all the Modrak sympathizers about how he never had final say and blah blah blah.
Pete Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Modrak had been with the club since June of 2001 when he was named Director of Football Operations And we have sucked ever since. Good riddance. And for Mike Williams, Maybin, Whitner, etc
Justice Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Can't say I'm sad to see him go, either, but the timing of it all is rather odd.
cmjoyce113 Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I'm confused, if they were unhappy with him, then why go through the draft and dump him afterwards. Because they couldn't fire the guy that had a majority of the info on what direction they wanted to go in the draft. The new season for those guys started Monday so that is why he is gone at this point.
Fan in Chicago Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Just read it on the Buffalo Bills website. I wonder why after the draft? Methinks Nix and Whaley did the draft without his input to see how it turns out. Well, we did very well so TM was rendered useless. But, ofcourse this is pure speculation based on the timing. Just a point of reference - did you notice how the three picks we made from Gailey's senior bowl team did not mention Modrak having spoken to these prospects ? I just read about Nix and Gailey talking to them and scoping them out.
papazoid Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 buddy saw for himself....must not have been impressed.
DrDawkinstein Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Because they couldn't fire the guy that had a majority of the info on what direction they wanted to go in the draft.

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 as head of scouting, i would think this is the only time of year you could fire him, otherwise his work has started for the following year.
