What do you suppose his annual salary would be a for a job like that ? Expand 40 hours a week to put invitations in an envelope to invite guys to a game nobody watches who aren't invited to better college all-star games? I bet most casual NCAAF fans could put that list together in a day---certainly anyone who gambles on college football...

NewEra Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Good for him. He’s much better, imo, than he’s been given credit for. He failed at getting a qb and a HC.
Fadingpain Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 That position is pretty big fall from NFL GM. Not surprising, however.

Expand You are just mad at him for he would not take them back after you tasted ever bun in a box. On 6/20/2018 at 2:53 PM, Dr. Who said: Whaley was a hard-working fella who was saddled with coaches he probably would not have chosen and new owners finding their way. On balance, he was a mediocre GM, but I don't think he was the disaster some appear to believe. Regardless, I have sympathy for the difficulty that must be involved in having to speak publicly when one is less than comfortable doing so. Folks ought to just wish him the best in what is not a particularly prestigious position. Those who take the opportunity to get in one last snide dig are pretty shabby, imo. Expand IF there were less shabby posters it would cut the message traffic by at least one third on this board. IMO his biggest weakness was public speaking and he should have handled a spokesman to handle most of the public speaking. 1

Weird. I don't understand why an NFL team would not hire this guy to be part of their Pro Personnel department. Unless Dougie didn't want to take a step back. Best of luck to Doug Whaley, but this doesn't sound like a great fit. Expand Well said! Though many in here will disagree. They feel Whaley drafted well! LOL 1

At least now he has a job, and a phone to sit next to while he waits for calls from people looking for LB's. And sooner or later, everybody needs a decent LB. Need a LB ??? Call Doug Whaley. I've got his phone number right here...........well...........give me a minute.............well, look it up....NFLP game .com He's the new director, or something................call him.........he'd be happy to talk to someone.........anyone........
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 The Whaley hate is so stupid. He wasn’t good at press conferences. He never got to pick his head coach. Compare this year’s roster with the 2014 one. A franchise qb in 2014 might have been a SB contender. Dude got a lot of talent and for how bad of a drafter he supposedly was, a lot of his draft picks are making a bunch of money in the nfl still.
May Day 10 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Whaley and nix (and levy and brandon) were just guys happy to have the position and didnt mind being a pass-through for other upper management and ownership. The same goes for the coaches they had, other than marrone maybe who seemed to fight it and bolted Edited June 21, 2018 by May Day 10
Augie Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 I wish him nothing but the best. (Since he’s not in the AFCE).

Whaley never got a completely fair shot at being a GM. Terry should have been the person at the press conference explaining the Rex firing, not Whaley. Whaley was Rex's peer, Pegula was Rex's boss; big difference. I do have to say that Whaley's drafting was pretty average, and unfortunately he'll always have the Sammy deal and lack of viable QB anvil around his neck; these probably did him in. Where Whaley excelled was FA acquisitions where he found several diamonds in the rough.
