Prediction - April 2013 - New GM Doug Whaley Picks A QB in Round 1

[Night Train]

Nix, Chan, Wanny, Fitz and a few others basically fired themselves today.

This IS the team you need to beat and the result was 6 unanswered TD's in a matter of a few minutes..at home..

Brandon cannot market this team unless changes are made and the San Fran game looks like a good day to clean out the garage. 49ers have the coach we wanted.. but he stayed home and got the job he wanted. We settled and the rest is history. A favorable schedule looks to be all for nothing. We can beat a few bottom feeders but little else.

I'm not overreacting but calmly viewing a situation that won't fix itself. Change is needed. There is talent on this roster but they need direction and a scheme that works. This doesn't.

Wonder who Whaley will hire to coach the team ?

Who's going to do the firing? Ralph? I agree that they should clean house, but I don't think Ralph gives a **** right now.

I think Brandon runs this team now.

Brandon is up there to be sure, but hes not the decision maker.

Brandon is Detroit's hand in OP.

Detroit still runs this org. The question is who in Detroit is running things.

None of this would surprise me and for HC I would strongly consider Bengals Offensive Coordinator Jay Gruden.

Really like Jay Gruden as well, but will he take the job? Had opportunities last off season but stayed put.

I think so, chance to rebuild one of the NFL's former great franchises, especially if he gets to build from scratch. Could you imagine him and say Geno Smith? Pipe dream I know.

I don't know, with the way they played today, and with the schedule we have the next few weeks, picking high in the draft is no longer a stretch. But in typical Bills fashion, we'll somehow mess it up. 6-10/7-9 here we come!

In that scenario I would hope Whaley would not Cleveland Browns the draft and be willing to make the big move (like the RGIII trade) to get the right guy for this team.

This would be so nice... Maybe a d-coordinator who can utilize the talent on his roster? Make adjustments?

In the blink of an eye Id poach Manny Diaz from Texas or Nick Aliotti from Oregon from their schematic ability. Also of course make the obligatory call to Bud Foster at VT as well, but I dont think he's leaving.

We don't get that lucky. Knowing us, Gruden wouldn't even want to interview for the job and Geno would refuse to report to camp.

I don't see Nix getting fired by any stretch, he's built up the talent level of the team and gone about it the right way. Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if he retired and turned the reins over Whaley, we've all already heard those rumors/rumblings. Gailey has failed as a head coach, and Wanny didn't deserve the DC to begin with. They definitely are at the point where QB is high on the priority list, though.

Agreed on all accounts and Id have no issue with Whaley taking over at this point. Nix could move into an advisor type role with Whaley taking over as GM.

I just shake my head in frustration at our current coaching situation.
