Predict the next GM

[Ebenezer]

1000 ZBs for each correct guess...you may guess only once.


Jim Overdorf - VP Business (I think I have the right guy)

This keeps it in house and business as usual.

DraftBoy-Lets start a grassroots campaign!!!

[Night Train]

Jeff Littman (Smithers).

[hammerbillsfan]

Modrak

[hydro]

I thought we established that Modrak wasn't a contender, as he will not relocate to WNY...

And I almost forgot, we are such a high class and successful organization that on NFLN today Schefter talked about every team with an head coach/coordinator opening except ours. I'm so proud.

[patmoran2006]

My guess is there will be no "official" GM at all.

2-3 clowns will "share" the duties.

[Nighthawk]

You might be right. That is a typical crappy move that this organization usually makes. Another question I have...why does Jauron have such a say in the decision? This guy has done NOTHING to deserve more power or say over anything in this organization. These are the typical Bills organizational moves that prevent this team from moving forward. Mark my words...if they don't get a good GM from outside the organization, then we will be looking at another rebuilding period in another year or two.

[patmoran2006]

In all seriousness, and not to get off target: I think Jauron would make one hell of a college coach.. SEriously.

[T-Long]

Greg Gabriel College Scouting Director for the Chicago Bears.

[YardRat]

Overdorf.

Does Overdorf have an clue at all about talent evaluation?

If they put a "money/contract" guy in the GM role that that pretty much tells the fans that the team is being run to not lose money as opposed to competitive on the field.

[elltrain22]

Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute

[Nighthawk]

Greg Gabriel College Scouting Director for the Chicago Bears.

Woudn't mind that...went to school with his daughter. He's a good evaluator of talent and has a feel for the pulse of the NFL.

His daughter hot?

[SquishDaFish]

Greg Gabriel

[Nighthawk]

His daughter hot?

It was awhile ago...she was alright.

[3rdn1]

Jim Overdorf..........he is the money man......and i bet his desk is right up next to marv.... he is in ALL the meeting.....and very very high on dicks and marv. list. what read about him is that he does have some scouting back ground.....

[Michael82]

Jim Overdorf

[The Jokeman]

Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute
Umm Dwight would have to be assistant to the General Manager. My vote goes to Overdorf with Guy getting named VP of player personnel.

Mark Weiler

[Throne Logic]

Dick Jauron

That's my guess, too. Didn't we read that Jauron is already in charge of personnel moves?

What, exactly, did Levy do other than promote good feelings amongst all the people doing the actual work? Don't get me wrong, I believe that this team needed exactly that kind of philosophical change after the tainted feeling everyone had following the TD reign. So, job completed, Levy steps aside.

So, back to my guess of DJ as the new GM. He won't have to deal with an business administration, or day-to-day stuff. He just continues on doing what he's already been doing with a fancier title as Coach/GM.

[njsue]

In house is Jim Overdorf

Outside choice is Floyd Reese.

[SquishDaFish]

Only one guess Sue

[njsue]

Only one guess Sue

Floyd Reese :D

[Historian]

The guy that manages the 7-11 across Abbott Road from the Stadium.

Personally, I think he should aim higher.

:rolleyes:

[madness]

I'm going with Greg Gabriel as well.

[superbills]

Overdorf was thinking about retirement. A GM job could certainly change his mind. He's my guess.

Although I would like to see Gabriel in here.

[Don't Panic]

Overdorf. Mordak stays on in his current role (as does Guy), but they will answer to Overdorf in the end. I think he'll do a good job, too.

Good stuff jokeman... assistant to the General Manager. Classic!

[Buffatexas]

Mark Weiler

one could only hope.

[Gunzlingr]

Casserly or Reese.

[Don't Panic]

I'm changing my vote. Gabriel seems too perfect to pass up:



If Wilson stays within the organization, Guy, Brandon or Overdorf could be promoted. Modrak has taken his name out of the running. If Wilson goes outside, Chicago Bears director of college scouting Greg Gabriel has emerged as an early strong candidate.
Gabriel, who helped build two New York Giants teams that won Super Bowls and has a strong track record with the Bears, is a Buffalo native who began his NFL career grading film for the Bills in 1981. He loves the city, the Bills franchise and has a good relationship with Levy, Jauron and defensive coordinator Perry Fewell from their days in Chicago.
He has also drafted players for the defense Jauron is running in Buffalo. Most importantly, Gabriel isn't seeking a position of ultimate power and works well with people and since he's moving up the NFL chain, would be willing to work for a lot less money than say available ex-league GMs Floyd Reese and Charley Casserly.

C'mon Ralph, bring Gabriel home!

[Bmax]

Gabe but not as GM as VP of Player Personnel....Runs draft and Free agency

Brandon will get bump up...... as for ovedorf no maybe new title but keeps same duties

Modrak leaves Bills.....


Guy stays with team..keeps same duites....

Jauron keeps personnel duties....works with Gabe and Guy.....

[RedEyE]

Buddy Nix

[Bone]

Greg Gabriel

[RedEyE]

or Hamburgs own Tom Telesco

[TigerJ]

Simon Cowell

Actually, I think it will be either John Guy or Greg Gabriel, but since those guys have already been picked by others, I thought I'd get creative. At least he'd be up front with players who just don't have it. "I don't think you could block your crippled mother, Kirk." With a British accent, of course.

[colin]

gregy g for me.

guy is a good talent guy, and i think the guys left along with him can figure out the numbers stuff well enough.

buffalo guy who is a proven performer from the teams he's been on before, i think he is ready to step up and will be a solid bills guy.

[ptd86]

Rick Mueller, was said on espn insider that could be a possible candidate to work with jauron who many people think will get more control over player personnel.

who is Rick Mueller? It's RANDY Mueller. They got it wrong on ESPN Insider.

[ptd86]

rick mueller works for the saints and is in charge of their draft. Randy Mueller is the idiot from the dolphins. Rick worked with the jags with jauron did they said.

[T-Long]

ohhh gotcha. So its Rick and not Randy

[Mr. Pink]

John Guy.

The Bills stay inhouse and promote.

[HAMMER]

Floyd Reese :D

Would be a great hire, my vote as well.

[Kerr]

Chris Polian.

[Jan Reimers]

Gabriel. He's a Buffalo guy with a Chicago/Jauron connection and a reputation as a good drafter.

[Bert102176]

Chris Polian the son of the Colts and ex-Bills gm Bill Polian

oh he's a hell of a good drafter I mean look at the great QB the Bears have, lmao

[justasportsfan]

Chris Polian the son of the Colts and ex-Bills gm Bill Polian
His father will tell him to stay away from Ralphy.

[Jan Reimers]

oh he's a hell of a good drafter I mean look at the great QB the Bears have, lmao
I guess all he's ever drafted were Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman. Devin Hester and some of their other really good players - they went to the Super Bowl last season, which is a hell of a lot better than we've done in years - must have gotten there by osmosis.
