Going to bet that he does not control the 53-man roster

First question: "So Doug, what is it that you do all day?"

"Well when I was working, I typically came in about 15 minutes late. I use the back door so Terry and Kim don't see me. Then I just sort of space out"

Doug is a decent fellow and I can't feel too bad for him collecting a big paycheck for the next several years while having no responsibilities. He was really a glorified scout. I think we are in a much better place with the current GM and his staff.

Will be a while before we know if that's true or not, but we certainly know Beane is much better at articulating himself in public settings.

Doug Whaley: One of the guys we took a lot of pride in, when we didnt have a 1st round pick was Ronald Darby. #Bills

Doug Whaley: This is a production based business and bottom line is we didn't produce enough wins.

Doug Whaley on Pegulas: "Great owners, great people & great owners. There's nothing that we asked as personnel dept that they said no to."


@mikerodak

Doug Whaley on draft room: “It wasn’t uncomfortable at all. We worked well together. It was a great working relationship [with Sean McD]."

Doug Whaley: “As a parting gift, we left them with two [first-round picks] next year.”


Doug Whaley on @SiriusXMNFL that the Pegulas are “great people and great owners. … We did not produce. I take full responsibility."


@TyDunne

Hearing how Brandon Beane breaks down the QB position compared to how Doug Whaley did should give all Bills fans hope for better days.

 

@SiriusXMNFL

Whaley: "It was business as usual in that draft room and we all worked well together and the draft the #Bills had was reflective of that".


@viccarucci

Whaley: "Right now I'm reconnecting w the family. I'm just going to take a deep breath, sit back & relax & listen to things coming my way."

Whaley said that he got a note from Jim Tressel after he was fired by #Bills that said: "Next chapter will be the best chapter."

 

@mikerodak

Doug Whaley has been “reconnecting with his family” since being fired by the Bills. He says he is considering opportunities outside football

 

@SiriusXMNF

Whaley on Sean McDermott: He will have them in position to win a lot of football games. The Buffalo #Bills wont be beating themselves.

He sure went out with a lot more class than Rex did

That he did. I was curious if he cursed out the media like Rex did, guess he did not.

All but solidifies that EJ was not his pick! JK, I can't help myself.

Nice - got a shot in on Rex

Agreed. It was a very classy interview and he took full blame for his termination even though we all know there were other contributing factors. I was very impressed.

I was expecting them to follow up with a question about his opinion of Tyrod, but they seemed content to keep it high level. Good interview though, I loved his attitude.

Never subscribed to the hate. Always seemed like a decent smart hard working guy that just lack public speaking polish.

 

He made some very nice moves in his tenure (or at least nice moves were made that I believed were his doing).

 

the best summary of his overall tenure, I thought, was while he tactically assembled rosters that could compete- there was a lack of strategic blueprint...
