Cripple Creek Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 @mikerodak Bills hire Gerry Matalon as talent consultant to improve public image http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19018781/buffalo-bills-hire-talent-coach-improve-public-image This smells like a Russ Brandon move to me.
filthymcnasty08 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 How much and for how long are they going to pay this guy to surmise that they need a franchise QB?
baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 This smells like a Russ Brandon move to me. I disagree. This is a move that Russ would never make. This move adds a voice to the mix , in addition Russ likes to control the narrative coming from 1 bills drive. This move puts some of that in another persons hands. Connect the dots. They hired a new pr guy a month ago. This is his first hire . A smart move by the pegs
The Big Cat Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Live after Berchtold It's preposterous that a person like this wasn't brought in before.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Doug, I have been doing lots of thinking about ways we can improve your public image. It seems as if Bills fans do not like you much so here's what to do... 1. start winning! making the playoffs would help 2. If you can't do number 1 then resigning if definitely gonna work. OK we are done here, exactly where do I pick up my $250,000? I think the Pegs wants to end the Dumpster Fire stuff. Weather it is true or not . Having a strong PR team in place will help. The days of having everything run through Brandon's hands are over. They fired Scott B and now are bringing professionals .
Mr. WEO Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 It's preposterous that a person like this wasn't brought in before. Good sarcasm right here!
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 It's preposterous that a person like this wasn't brought in before. ....he was here last year......Wrecks the Image Maker...........
oldmanfan Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 A business owner sees a way to improve management performance and does so. How strange.
HappyDays Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 This is literally an episode of Arrested Devlopment. Based on the guy's picture: And tweets: Get out of your own way: A negative attitude makes you a clog in the machinery of life instead of a cog. #DominateLife I'm gonna say this is 100% accurate
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Didn't they just fire Scott Bertchold as Head of Communications and hire Derek Boyko? So if we have a new head of PR - why are we bringing in a PR coach? Seems unnecessary.
Nanker Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I've said this before in other threads about the poor public speaking skills of Terry. Whales has the same sort of disadvantage. There are professional speaking coaches. There are media companies that specialize in training CEOs and other top executives in developing their public speaking skills. Terry needs this badly. Whales would benefit greatly from it too. Sounds like the entire FO is going to get grooved in how to present messages to the public. It's a skill that has been ignored for too long, and it's about as important as finding the right QB to lead the team. IMHO.
JohnC Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Hire Rex. He's a talker. At the podium he excels. Maybe you can get some use out of him for the money he is receiving from the idiotic contract you gave him when you hired him.
Mr. WEO Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Based on the guy's picture: And tweets: I'm gonna say this is 100% accurate Is this for real--did he tweet this?: "Get out of your own way: A negative attitude makes you a clog in the machinery of life instead of a cog. #DominateLife"

YoloinOhio Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Didn't they just fire Scott Bertchold as Head of Communications and hire Derek Boyko? So if we have a new head of PR - why are we bringing in a PR coach? Seems unnecessary. PR and VP of communication are different, as is what Matalon will be working on which is public image. It's a multi billion dollar company, it's ok to invest in more vs less. No, it doesn't win games, but the owners want to improve in all areas. Seriously, for those with a negative reaction - what is the downside? Edited March 28, 2017 by YoloinOhio

Guest NeckBeard Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) This is stoopid. I don't care if DW yells "SEND IN THE GIMP" at every press conference so long as this team can have winning seasons for the foreseeable future. Also, most of the Bills' fans I grew up with are way more moderate than most of the stuff I read on Bills-related message boards. This seems like a knee jerk from ownership, oh, and the press sucks even more than any actual Buffalo Bills squad. So there is that. Edited March 28, 2017 by NeckBeard
papazoid Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I rest my case. Low-brow, low-class, an extension of Appalachia. That's all Western New York is. you forgot this famous trade for a kiko alonso jersey http://deadspin.com/report-from-buffalo-kiko-alonso-jersey-traded-for-blow-1459749225
Santana Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Want to improve public image?............how about we just start winning haha
