Is Kim qualified?

The NFL sells itself...let your football people do their jobs, put a winning team on the field and try to make the game day experience fun....

Who is he ?

 

 

He's the QB coach who is going to single handedly prevent Josh Allen from improving and reaching his potential.

Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News said other ex-player hockey presidents were "laughing" at Kim Pegula's promotion. Well Russ was equally qualified to be a hockey president as Kim.

 

EDIT: Harrington deleted the tweet.

These guys are a joke, believe me I've known a couple. Typically these guys end up getting promoted through the "old" boy network way more than other professional sports. And, many of them barely finished high school. I know one guy in particular that was dumber than a box rocks and he ended up after retiring from playing ,being given the job. Some of them go right from the ice to the GM job and onward.

Absolutely. Maybe the best president in the league 

[bmur66]

The President doesn't get mad. The President gets upset. When the President gets upset it is someone else's job to get mad. 

I think it's great that Kimmy is taking the reigns and I am confident she has met the qualifications.

Exactly. Alot of people asking about qualifications of a Job they wont even describe. 

Capable of accepting a lot of money yearly for polishing a turd and grabbing ass.  Must have 10 years experiences.  

 

Knowledge of incognito mode is preferred.

[John in Jax]

Obviously, the answer is "no."

 

Also, before the other thread was locked, I didn't get a chance to thank the person ("colin") who chimed in by saying that Kim P. is where she is today because SHE "slept with the boss" way back when.  IF they forced RB out because he was having a CONSENSUAL relationship with a coworker, the irony & hypocrisy would be notable.

Probably not as qualified as many others, but when you are married to the owner, mistakes while in training will be tolerated...a lot.  

 

 

...surround her with good people.....an executive is only as good as their supporting staff......

Really it is Obviously No. 

 

cool list the job requirements. Because obviously you know

[Skins Malone]

Its as about hiring the right people which is what they are doing anyway.  Even if she maynot be russ needed to go anyway

[H2o]

It's their money and they aren't rich from stupidity. I'm sure she is just an interim at the position and they will hire someone else. 

[DriveFor1Outta5]

Nope, but it doesn’t mean that she won’t do a good job. Powerful positions around the world are filled by people who aren’t technically qualified for them.

The Pegula’s have done little right during their time as owners of the Bills, and to a much greater extent, the Sabres.

 

Yeah!  Well, except for keeping the Bills (at least) in Buffalo and them getting to the playoffs in just their 3rd full season of ownership.  But other than that, they've done nothing right.

[metbill]

I look at it in comparison to our division rivals.  Would any of the other 3 East teams seriously consider her for the same position?

In all honestly, I hope they hire someone for each part (pse, sabres, bills).  I couldn't imagine the amount of work required to run one of those positions let alone all three.

Yep, just like the cowardly piece o poo he is. 

[BuffaloBillsGospel]

She can only be here 6 months out of the year to qualify for the tax break they get for residing in Florida. I'd have to believe at some point that will be an issue. I'm really glad Russ is out but I feel the same with Kim as President of both, those positions should be filled with qualified people imo.

I guess hiring that buffoon Rex was just a tiny misstep?  Also, I stated that their screwups have been much greater on the Sabres side. 

 

 

PS How much goodwill do they get for keeping the teams here?  They were going nowhere.

Heh?    A CEO does not get down into the nittie grittie.   They don't have to know that this guy did 37 lifts and this guy only 32. They delegate that work and set general directions.  They set objectives and set teams to work towards them.

No owner is perfect.  How many coaches did RW hire that didn't work out.  They also hired the guy who got us to the playoffs.  Now the sabres...ill give ya that one.
