Boatdrinks Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 If that's true Doug is an idiot who really need to go. If this happens it shows me there isn't much to look forward to with this team as long as Whaley is around. This is most likely about TTs injury guarantee on his option, not Manuel. EJ is probably gone, but could return as a backup. The next HC may or may not want Taylor, too much risk in a game that doesn't affect the Bills season. Word all along was Whaley wanted to sit TT after the PIT game and Rex didnt. Makes sense now.
LabattBlue Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 How old are you? ...old enough to know that firing Rex was the right move. I don't have my head in the sand when it comes to 17 years of failure.
billieve420 Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 It is kind of nuts that Whaley is conducting the HC search. After Marrone and Rex, you would have thought the Pegulas would retain a consultant to help with them the football side of things. I think that falls at Brandon's feet. He went after Marrone and recommended they hire Rex to ownership after their interview. From what had been reported Hue Jackson was Whaley's choice. Hiring of the new coach needs to come from Whaley. He needs to succeed or fail on his own. I really hope Brandon and the Pegula's let him do his job and not interfere.
qwksilver Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 They don't want to risk Tyrod getting injured and be on the hook for his contract extension. This +1
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 WGR: Lynn notified last week that he would be elevated: http://www.wgr550.com/Source-Lynn-notified-last-week/22972501

CommonCents Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Few years later and here we are...Doug Whaley and EJ Manuel...
Boatdrinks Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Injuries, suspensions, and street free agents great recipe for success. Congratulations. You should be pleased. You got what you and others so obsessively wanted. Rex was a bad hire by the Pegulas and his scheme was a poor fit for the personnel. At least they realized their mistake and cut bait instead of slogging through another year. Lesson learned for the rookie owners. Move on
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 It is kind of nuts that Whaley is conducting the HC search. After Marrone and Rex, you would have thought the Pegulas would retain a consultant to help with them the football side of things. Not so much. Let Whaley pick his own guy and sink or swim with it.
SoulMan Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Hoping he goes back to the jets - two wins for us.
Dopey Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Whoo hoo, he's gone! and so is his twin! I still wanna know if Rob's having a boy or girl. Then again, twins run in the family, he looks like he could be having twins. Glad we didn't get CONTINUITY, as some here wanted. It would have been the same old ****. Merry Christmas to all that wanted him gone. To the rest, welcome aboard and Merry Christmas to you too.
Boatdrinks Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 I think that falls at Brandon's feet. He went after Marrone and recommended they hire Rex to ownership after their interview.

NoSaint Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Not so much. Let Whaley pick his own guy and sink or swim with it. if we keep whaley he should have 100% authority in this search.
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 I think that falls at Brandon's feet. He went after Marrone and recommended they hire Rex to ownership after their interview.

Peter Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 We are. It's a great day as long as Whaley follows him out the door. http://hootingyard.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/vultures-2.jpg

jahnyc Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Do any of us really know that Whaley did not support the hiring of Marrone or Ryan or that they were not his first choice? Seems like there is a lot of information being put out there about the Bills, and much of it seems to be an effort to support a narrative about Whaley not having full say about the hiring of our recent HCs. This is similar to the who drafted EJ and who traded for Hughes arguments. Seems like anything negative about the Bills is attributed to Brandon, the Pegulas and Nix. Anything positive to Whaley. Makes no sense.
DDD Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 This Bills ineptness runs far deeper than coaching. They will suck again next year too. They need two stellar drafts before they can be considered a legit playoff team.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 27, 2016 Posted December 27, 2016 Not so much. Let Whaley pick his own guy and sink or swim with it. if we keep whaley he should have 100% authority in this search. Exactly where I am on this.
