How do we know that? Whaley liked Rex. At least that's what they all told us several times.

I'd say it's hard to say...I mean I can like someone after the fact but that doesn't mean they would've been my 1st choice. If Whaley didn't have final say on Rex, what does he have to gain by going out and publicly criticizing the hire? Nothing.

Whaley i will help you.

 

Hire Matt Patricia

 

And Doug can learn from him how a successful organization is run. Accountability, confidentiality, and results-driven. How to game plan for an opponent, and how to manage a game. If he does these things as he learned from Bill, we could be in business.

I like this. The relationship between the GM and HC needs to be strong.

 

As others say, he will live and die by this decision as it should be.

 

So far, so good

Agree with everything you posted. It's hilarious the hate Whaley gets. He put together the pieces for a #4 overall defense.

 

Without a franchise qb, he put together a flawed but pretty productive offense. Let him hire his own coach and then he sinks or swims with him.

That defense was #2 according to FO, which is a much better measure. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef2014

Jesus Christ. Whaley is as much of the problem as Rex. Looks like we'll have to wait at least 2 more years to get a shot at a competent front office.

Doug Whaley should have been fired already. Firing Rex to let this moron make the hire is pointless. Another fan base not known for being stupid drunks wouldn't put up with this.

That defense was amazing. It's hilarious how some people tried to put it down to boost up Rex.

 

I hate coaches losing jobs because it means your team failed. But Rex was given as good of pieces as any recent Bills coach.

 

I'm really interested in seeing who Whaley gets. I think he is a very good young GM. Now, he needs to prove it by making a great hire. What's up David Shaw?

I never recall reading two years ago that Whaley was not part of team selecting coach or was not all in on Rex.

 

Where is this revisionist history coming from?

 

P.S. You got what you wanted Doug. I fear you are going to either hire someone who is not in demand and beholden to you or you are going to have the influence/power you think you have SUBSTANTIALLY diminished to attract anyone of note.

I'd be excited to see Shaw but everything I've read from him indicates that he has no desire to leave the college ranks.

The rumors were that Whaley wanted Hue Jackson as head coach and Schwartz retained to run the D.
