Buffalo Beeeews Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 ...who would you want to see as the new GM and head coach. I believe if we don't at least finish with a winning record, this happens.
Herb62 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Don't just change for the sake of change. If you can improve go for it however, Buffalo is a hard draw. I you can get a proven commodity like Jim H. great but, keep the GM he seems smart a deserves more time. Go get a QB and see what happens.
dayman Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I'm pretty ignorant compared to most Bills fans here b/c I don't follow the hockey at all, and I didn't seek out every interview he did when he first became owner (although I'm positive he wouldn't have said anything in them like this anyway). So what is his deal? From what I've seen...simply based on what I perceive to be his personality...I doubt he will. Am I wrong?
Clippers of Nfl Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Why would they want to live in a dirty house. Yes they should clean it. Are you asking who should clean it? That's easy. Have the new kids on the block clean their house. And they should do it, step by step.
#34fan Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Don't CLEAN the House. -GUT the Moth%#f!%r... Unhinge the doors. Tear down the walls. Dig out the floors. Empty it out like you're gonna flip that sumbitch for a nice chunk of change. I'm afraid it's the only way... (Oh, and red helmets in '15 please.)
thewildrabbit Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Whaley stays with a senior adviser or actual football president over him so the team isn't trading away future picks on players other then QB's. The rest can all go asap.
KollegeStudnet Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Overall, I say keep Whaley and Schwartz. From there, build the defense and find a future QB.
truth on hold Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 NO. Sick and tired of rebuilding. Now if a Bellicheck or Cowher miraculously dropped in our lap, of course you have to consider. But barring such a miracle, I think this staff is doing a good job with the what they inherited. The issue is primarily @ QB and that's all on Gailey and Nix.

KGUNBILLS Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I don't think a "housecleaning" is needed. Our defense is pretty good. it may need some tweaking, but overall it is decent. They breakdown because of our inept offense, and are prone to giving up big plays late in games due to exhaustion. Also, it would be nice to have the luxury of having a coach, that could just coach, and not worry about snapping a large playoff drought. I don't care what any of them have said to a reporter, snapping that streak is ultimately been the house plan. With having written that, it would be nice to have a coaching staff that could effectively manage the talent that this team has. NE has been successful because they make adjustments, and have the ability to manage talent. We don't have that. So in all, IMO, a new coach, a new oc, and a QB upgrade, would definitely benefit all of us. GO BILLS.
PearlHowardman Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Clean house = 0-16 record next season and probably a 3-13 record the year after next. .

Nuncha Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Watch what you wish for - The Pegulas cleaned the Sabres house and left it empty.

Fadingpain Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Clean house = 0-16 record next season and probably a 3-13 record the year after next. . That is totally untrue. Watch what you wish for - The Pegulas cleaned the Sabres house and left it empty. I see you spend a lot of time following hockey. Not. You clearly don't understand, in the slightest, what is happening with the Sabres. The path the Sabres are on now is entirely about avoiding what everyone bitches about on this forum ad nauseam. You know, perpetual mediocrity. If the current Sabre rebuild achieves even 75% of its objectives, it will result in the strongest Sabres team we have ever iced. Sometimes in life you have to take a few steps back in order to leap forward. Spare Whaley and anyone else you would like to at OBD...but do so at your peril. And when the same results repeat, do not be surprised.
first_and_ten Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 When Marrone came in, he spoke about changing the culture on the team. The problem is he was only talking this concerning the players and coaches. The culture needs to change at the very top first and then on down from there, not just with the players on the team. The players need to sense that mangagemnt and ownership has a single goal. I think for years under the old guard this was not the case.I'm hopin that the Pegulas will chnge the culture of this team from the Top down.

May Day 10 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Why does making changes and improvements mean rebuilding and sacking for years? Chip kelly got the keys and is flying pretty highard out of the gate. Even if you want to believe a 93 year old man was making all the decisions and ruining Things and this regime started 2 years ago... it still looks to me like we are stuck in the mud. This organization is just screaming for someone knowledgeable from the outside to be installed at the top. Create a winning football program here long term. Everyone should be rooting for this, no? Any fan who wants to protect this losing culture that forces me to hope and pray the bills can "keep it interesting" through the middle of November every season has stockholm syndrome. You cant heap it on marrone, ej, and Orton as if they are outside influences. These were the hand selections of these bozos
Just in Atlanta Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Anyone who is making the offensive planning and play calls needs to go. Horrible what they aren't able to do with good talent. This current admin has built a pretty solid team, I hope next year we have a decent amount of continuity sans offensive "masterminds." I hope Whaley and Schwartz stay.
