Estro Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I have to be upfront about this: I had to unfollow Joe Banner on twitter, despite his knowledgeable football tweets, because he is so liberal and anti-Trump......but with that said I read a bunch of his tweets from today and he clearly hates Rex Ryan. I think most of him are right there with him. Would he be the right guy for the job if we are to clean house. I'm not sure he is because he seems to really like Greg Roman, which is a concern, because I don't want a OC who doesn't pass the hell out of the football. Just throwing it out there. How about Kevin Kelly, the HS coach who never punts and always wins. How would he be for head coach. Joe Banner @JoeBanner13 1h1 hour ago sign a player with off field issues who gets suspended. Your 1st pick had an injury. How are you shocked when 1 is hurt the other suspended Joe Banner @JoeBanner13 49s50 seconds ago Joe Banner Retweeted John Kryk Classic. So if it's a mistake it's on owner not Rex. This is all so predictable Joe Banner added, John Kryk @JohnKryk Wow. @alexmarvez reports HC Rex Ryan "leaned on" by #Bills front office to whack Greg Roman: http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/rex-ryan-bills-use-greg-roman-as-sacrificial-lamb-to-appease-the-fans/1fpf513y2je6z1en0lh0lydq5m Joe Banner @JoeBanner13 2h2 hours ago Joe Banner Retweeted Adam Schefter Classic Rex. Had the entire off season to evaluate this, & after 2 games fires a gd coach. Never looks in the mirror
H2o Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Joe Banner is just another person with an opinion like the rest of us. There is a reason he's not a GM right now.
nucci Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Stop with the Czar talk....we need a good GM and an owner that will leave him alone to do his job
Best Player Available Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I'd be happier with Joe Buck.........
LabattBlue Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Stop with the Czar talk....we need a good GM and an owner that will leave him alone to do his job How do you fix the latter?
Freddie's Dead Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 How about David Banner? http://cdn-static.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeek/files/6/33//louferrigno1.jpg
May Day 10 Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Stop with the Czar talk....we need a good GM and an owner that will leave him alone to do his job I agree with you overall.... the problem is, there is nobody currently at OBD who could or should be trusted in choosing said GM. The possible function of the consultant would be to lay out the framework and interview/hire a GM. This was the right move and a better organization beat Pegula to it. http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-7/Ron-WolfCharley-Casserly-10-Things-to-Know/e816286a-6cf6-4035-ab42-f9a6aa36119f
nucci Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 How do you fix the latter? That I can't help you
Chuck Wagon Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 He ran the Browns into the ground. Hiring unemployed execs who the game has passed by is not the answer.
Estro Posted September 16, 2016 Author Posted September 16, 2016 Yea if Pegula's were fooled by the allure of Rex Ryan how can we trust that they will do any better the second time around? If Whaley actually preferred Hue Jackson, maybe Whaley can be trusted because that would've been a reasonable choice, but we still don't know if that's the truth or not. Just like we don't know who actually wanted Rex Ryan as head coach. That's why I've always preferred that one man make decisions, that way that 1 person can be held responsible. When your left to guess was it the owner, was it the GM, was it the "snake oil salesmen marketing guru" Russ Brandon that made the choice it's just to convoluted to hold someone responsible.
SameOldSongAndDance Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 We don't need a football czar, football guru, football savant. Wouldn't a GM who knows his s*** be all that's needed?
LabattBlue Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 We don't need a football czar, football guru, football savant. Wouldn't a GM who knows his s*** be all that's needed? Depends on who is hiring the GM.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 If you look at most teams, GM's are given at least 2 if not 3 coaching hires before you finally decide the problem really is the GM and get rid of him. In Whaley's case it's kind of an unprecedented move when one coach quits, and if the rumors are true that Rx was more of a Pugula hire, would then tend ot give Whaley a pass.

mob16151 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 How about David Banner? http://cdn-static.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeek/files/6/33//louferrigno1.jpg Bruce Banner?
White Linen Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 We don't need a football czar, football guru, football savant. Wouldn't a GM who knows his s*** be all that's needed? Who do you suggest comprehensively hires the GM? Kim Pegula?
YoloinOhio Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Football "czars" aren't usually hanging out unemployed on Twitter Also, RIP the term "czar"
White Linen Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Football "czars" aren't usually hanging out unemployed on Twitter Also, RIP the term "czar" Yeah I don't like the term either - however I do think being new to the football arena, the Pegula's should seek some council.
John from Riverside Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I vote we have a hunger games lottery amongst the fans......the winner gets to gm the team for the year "and may the odds be forever in your favor!"
jr1 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 it feels like we already have too many cooks in the kitchen
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I vote we have a hunger games lottery amongst the fans......the winner gets to gm the team for the year "and may the odds be forever in your favor!" this may work. I am sure most Buffalonians with a few beers in them could muscle up a better game plan.
