The Wiz Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Any video feed of the PC? I was wondering the same. All I see is a link to the bills mobile app. WGR is going to be carrying the audio feed. Edited January 1, 2013 by The Wiz
thebandit27 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Nope. Any evidence to back this up? What fun is a Forum absent of disagreement? Would be pretty boring. Doesn't mean it can't be civil He's been scouting all year, why wouldn't want to keep that insight a few extra months. As long as its understood behind closed doors - and I'd assume a guy that hired his replacement to train understands this arrangement - what's to lose ^ This.
NoSaint Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 What fun is a Forum absent of disagreement? Would be pretty boring. I'm cool with disagreement. Maybe at the front page we could have two buttons I'm feeling: 1) unreasonable and emotional 2) like a reasonable human being And we can just split from there
Nitro Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Brandon to Team President is an interesting move. Now that Ralph is out of the decision making process it will be up to Brandon to produce. The transition fo Nix to Whaley is wise and not impulsive. If Nix is there to help him with the process of hiring a new coach, prepping and executing the draft, then I am all for it. Never good to toss a guy to the wolves. Buffalo does not have the instutional structure in place to do that. This is a step forward. Either you can see the glass half full or half empty. I will take a wait and see approach.
Beerball Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 SDS...I think it's time to split the board and give the haters their own forum to vent. PTR What about multiple personality posters like me?
xsoldier54 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Not sure how this dynamic will play out, but I'm glad that they kept Whaley. He would have been at least considered for one of the other vacant GM positions. I don't have a problem with him, Nix and Brandon conducting the search for a new HC. What this means is that they won't have to go back to Ralph for approval. I believe Whaley will have more say than Nix on the HC since he will have to live with him after the transition. Sounds as if Nix will get to weigh in, but won't have final say.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia With the news rolling out right now, it's clear Doug Whaley is having a huge influence on the coaching search already. It's Day 1 for him.
3rdand12 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 +1 I don't see the logic in keeping Nix. Just fire the dude and promote Whaley. This is your typical retarded move by the Bills or should I say RW? Some folks think the transition to Whaley was the plan all along.Have to keep Nix till the draft. He still holds alot of the cards in regard to our scouting, whether we like him or not. On the other hand it's a bit more class to gently transition IMO
Fan in Chicago Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 What fun is a Forum absent of disagreement? Would be pretty boring. Disagreement has never been seen as a problem here. What gets the reasonable posters' goat, is the relentless cynicism, misinformed blathering and negativity to every move that the FO makes.
DanInUticaTampa Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 What about multiple personality posters like me? You get access to both
birdog1960 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 if wilson wanted to truly cede control, improve coaching prospects and better the health of the franchise he'd sell the damn team. doesn't sound like that is happening.

You have got to expect a certain level of that on an internet forum. Nature of the beast.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Thank you. Ignoring or not responding is always an option. No?

PromoTheRobot Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Jerry Sullivan @TBNSully Bills will announce a department of analytics today. Cutting edge stuff

What gets the reasonable posters' goat, is the relentless cynicism, misinformed blathering and negativity to every move that the FO makes. Common man, there's just as much relentless optimism and misinformed blathering and positivity to every move that the FO makes. That's what makes this place so much fun.
Fadingpain Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Press Conference soon. Of critical importance here is learning the relationship between Brandon and Ralph in terms of $$$. How much financial decision making will Russ have? Absolute? Can he decide to take an operational loss if necessary to improve the product? Can he hire a $10 million head coach if he thinks that's a good idea? If Ralph retains last word power on things like that, this is not a huge development.
3rdand12 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Thank you. Yes it's frustrating for a fan when some some folks poo poo at every single turn.
GG Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 There are many reasons to think that this is a positive move. Wilson has ceded control of the operations only once before to Donahoe, and at the time there was no argument as to who was in charge. Yes Ralph still meddled, but it was TD who ran the show. The biggest problem since 2006 was the leadership vacuum at OBD, when no one knew who was really in charge. If this change in control is similar to what happened in 2000, then it's definitely a positive event, no question about it.
