Brandon hired Marrone before bringing Whaley aboard. Then the Pegulas hired Rex when Whaley wanted Hue Jackson. Then Pegs says Whaley will head up the search and we end up with McDermott, who turns out to be Whaley's executioner.

Sure, because the Pegulas see what a real football man is supposed to be in McDermott. Time for Whaley to go after seven years.

Yes, Multiple times confirmed by Pegula himself. Terry does the hiring. Rex was on "group advisement" (aka Brandon), and this year he let "Whaley lead the search, but did the final hiring".

When Rex was hired

Whaley was on board with the Rex hiring. He stated so right here:

The point is Whaley never had full authority. He had the title but couldn't make his own decisions.

Just keep trying to rewrite history. Unfortunately for you, its archived and in video. Whaley stated those words, if he didnt mean them he had an obligatory requirement to state so to the GM as part of his duties. If he didnt then all th more reasoning to fire him. At some point one would expect the head of your football team to have the physical, mental, and moral courage to speak his mind to the owner on such things as a HC hiring. Edited by Bill_with_it

I'm curious how often you tell your superior how wrong they are?

Some day you guys will stop making excuses and realize how bad of a GM Whaley really was. Whaley put us in cap jail. Whaley made poor draft choices. Those are the primary roles of a GM. Manage cap and build team. Two things he was terrible at.

"Pegula said that Whaley was responsible for putting together the Bills draft plan and executing it, but very few people truly believe that. McDermott, who Pegula hired as the new head coach of the team in mid-January, was basically serving as its de facto general manager these last couple months, too, and his voice has overridden everyone else's."....Sal M.

If that's the case, I'm more okay with this. I love how this draft was handled. At minimum, McD is reliable.

Didn't understand why people gave Whaley 100% of the benefit of the doubt his whole time here.

 

Kind of surprised to see the axe fall on him like that.

 

I think it's for the best.

 

A few others should be gone as well shortly... hopefully...

A lot gave him well beyond benefit of the doubt. I've seen lots of people claim he was one of if not the best GM in the league the last couple years on the BBMB.

In a nutshell.

 

This has disaster written all over it.
