Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 What is weird is that the GM is strangely silent as far as I am aware of this whole thing. Why is that weird, given the reporting structure set up by the Pegulas where Whaley has no authority over the coaching staff and Rex, like Whaley and Brandon, report in parallel directly to the Pegulas?

dave mcbride Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 The key takeaway here - the Bills organizational structure is incoherent and essentially sets the team up to fail. What other conclusion could be drawn??
DCbillsfan Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 If this story is true, this is a big red flag. The owners are talking to the players. How dysfunctional is that? They don't trust/believe in the HC or GM anymore. I have lived in DC the past 18 years. This smells like Dan Snyder. Terrible. Just fire everybody and get someone to run the football operations and stay out of it. Geesh.

bmur66 Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 well they have given out how much cash for tyrod, clay, shady, glenn, richie, sammy etc and for what? no offense? they have every right.This. And just because Rex wasn't present doesn't mean anything.

Not the best setting for sound and sober decision-making. Edited September 18, 2016 by dave mcbride

Nihilarian Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Jeez, I only hope this story isn't true. The last thing this team needs is meddling owners talking with players to determine what's happening on the field. Josh Reed @4JoshReed 30m30 minutes ago Josh Reed Retweeted Ian Rapoport Owners write the checks and ultimately have the final say but do successful franchises have owners who do this? Heck no! this stuff reminds me of the Jim Irsay, Bill Bidwell days of constant owner meddling and even Ralph Wilson was never this bad.
MAJBobby Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Jeez. Pegula needs to hire someone who has a clue and stay the !@#$ away. He doesnt do that. He likes interacting with players ie Sabres.
MDH Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 This doesn't bother me. The only thing different would be if I were the owners, I would have told Rex what I was doing first. Good luck finding coaches who want to work for the bills if this is the type of owners that are here. No coach wants to work for owners to do this type of thing.
Reed83HOF Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Jeez. Pegula needs to hire someone who has a clue and stay the !@#$ away. I'm wondering if they have been talking to someone already. In the past Bill P. has said he has given them some advice... On a side note; I just got up (live in LA) and need some coffee, but I did notice last night before I went to bed the Ryan's were at the Clemson game laughing and smiling. Wonder if they have said F'it....
Best Player Available Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Why is that weird, given the reporting structure set up by the Pegulas where Whaley has no authority over the coaching staff and Rex, like Whaley and Brandon, report in parallel directly to the Pegulas? He is the GM. this was a pretty big in season move. Is the Lynn promotion permanent or simply a 14 game audition? Whaley put this roster together. I just assume he would have some kind of comment on this. I understand Rex does not need Whaley's permission too talk too ownership about letting the highest paid,OC in the league. But if a team is unifed I would assume both of them talked to Pegula about the change or in the very least Whaley agreed with it. Again it just seems weird the GM is not in the conversation dealing with the change.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 The key takeaway here - the Bills organizational structure is incoherent and essentially sets the team up to fail. What other conclusion could be drawn?? Yes. We need to clean this up.

This is what I don't like about this structure, for all you know Whaley had zero to do with this or he knows his ass is on the line for trading for a WR we never throw to, signing an expensive TE who we throw 3 yard passes too, Shady's contract.... Gents, this is a whats that word...oh yeah...clusterfu&k
CountryCletus Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Good luck finding coaches who want to work for the bills if this is the type of owners that are here. No coach wants to work for owners to do this type of thing. I imagine this type of behavior doesn't happen if a coach is successful...
