JM2009 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Dysfunction Junction It should have been done when the Pegulas bought the team. start fresh.
CaliBills92 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 The same here. NOW I see the DUMPSTER FIRE! Drinking the Kool-aid will do that to you. Never drink the kool-aid.
SDS Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 This is easy. Pegula went with Whaley's absolutely fawning recommendation of Rex Mindboggingly inaccurate for someone who spends so much time here.
JM2009 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 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.
Bill_with_it Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 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 hiredWhaley was on board with the Rex hiring. He stated so right here: http://m.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/How-the-Bills-decided-on-Rex-Ryan-as-head-coach/19b740de-0ca3-4dd6-8fdc-58c0cf013fa2 Stop tring to rewrite history.
wppete Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Terry was crying again. Looked like he was crying before the press conference and looked like he was about to cry when talking about Doug.
BillsFan692 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Everyone needs to stop putting so much stock into what Terry says in interviews... usually it's baloney=P If you ever want to know what is actually going on you have to read between the lines.
PromoTheRobot Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Sure, because the Pegulas see what a real football man is supposed to be in McDermott. Time for Whaley to go after seven years.The point is Whaley never had full authority. He had the title but couldn't make his own decisions. When Rex was hired Whaley was on board with the Rex hiring.

All good employees immediately B word about their bosses decisions. How dense are you? Edited April 30, 2017 by PromoTheRobot

All good employees immediately B word about their bosses decisions. How dense are you? 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.

I'm curious how often you tell your superior how wrong they are?
Scott7975 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 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.
Success Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 "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.
Bill_with_it Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 I'm curious how often you tell your superior how wrong they are?All the time lives are on the line. If tou dont have the physical, mental, and moral courage to do part of your duties then you probably shouldnt do them or be in that position.
NoSaint Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 I'm curious how often you tell your superior how wrong they are? In the press particularly too
OldTimer1960 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Terry was crying again. Looked like he was crying before the press conference and looked like he was about to cry when talking about Doug. So what? He is human and had worked with Whaley. Maybe he liked Whaley even though he felt he had to let him go.
Chicken Boo Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Examples. Undermining your GM (hiring Rex Ryan) Giving a first time HC complete control of your team. Hiring a first time HC before finding your GM.
CaliBills92 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 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.
Nick the Greek Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Another one run outta town.. And the countdown clock is running on old Sean McDermott. I give him 3 years.
