Now we know why both teams are so messed up. We have an owner with no professional sports experience with 100% empowerment running both teams with everyone else being a pawn. We have a GM that doesn't do a GM's job. Anyone that listened to that press conference has to still be shaking their heads.

Re: Well, wasn't that "Special"
The Pegula's have not only no respect for the fans opinions, they don't even care for their own staffs opinions. Now I know why both teams are equally bad.Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.

Could also be that Whaley is lying through his teeth in order to cover his own ass.
That seems a lot more plausible.
The fact that he can say, with a straight face, that he didn't even give a thought to Rex's firing tells me all I need to know about his credibility.

Originally posted by Turf View PostIf that's true ( and it very well could be), then the Pegula's should fire him for hanging them out to dry, lying, and shaming the organization.
On a side note, I refuse to use the term "Pegulas". I don't care what they say. Terry drilled the wells, Terry wrote the check. He's the owner. Had his wife never met him, she would still be working at a diner.

Re: Well, wasn't that "Special"
This thread is like witnessing a car fly off a cliff. You guys need to settle down... nothing that got said today was going to do anything but rile the masses, no matter what was said. That's where everyone is now. To be honest, a GM saying that the owner (who sunk a billion dollars into the team) is going to hang on to final say is about as surprising as a trip to Walmart yielding new understandings of the creative "culture" of America.

Originally posted by WagonCircler View PostI don't think they care. I think Terry is a multi-billionaire who figures that the $1.5 BIL he paid to keep the team here bought him infinite cover from criticism.

The press conference painted a picture of a dysfunctional organization with an incurious, out of touch "GM" who doesn't appear to care about being in touch until someone tells him he should.
I always thought Whaley was low energy and apathetic, well that's basically the mindset he presented.

Re: Well, wasn't that "Special"
Originally posted by HHURRICANE View PostThe owner having final approval is not an issue. The GM not being consulted or having an opinion on the status of the head coach is insane. Don't look to the fans here but read the national media to see how really bad this press conference was. And what was the point?!???Originally posted by Mace View PostI have a feeling you either didn't listen to it or read the summaries ?

Re: Well, wasn't that "Special"
Originally posted by Don't Panic View PostI've never seen the media so squarely critical of a team that until 10 days ago was still in the playoff hunt. It's as though they've tapped into the local fan negativity and run amok with it. We will see… Something tells me that all this will be proven as grossly overstated in the end.
