He was just named the President of the Sabres, same position he holds with the Bills. Clearly the Pegulas value him very highly.
He will continue to hold both roles fwiw.

Re: For Those Waiting on Brandon to Leave...
You know what I like Brandon and I think he is a good leader. I would hope this means he runs the organization but does not have a say in drafting or signing players. All it means is that he is overseeing the organizations from a business side and making sure people have the power to make decisions when it comes to personnel but he has no vote what so ever, but he will hold the person accountable for mistakes.Comment

Nicholas Pierandri - head coach, Syracuse

Re: For Those Waiting on Brandon to Leave...
He is out of his mind. The Bills have woefully underperformed during Brandon's tenure because Ralph and his lackey valued the bottom dollar over winning.Originally posted by justasportsfan View Post
If Pegula wants to make money regardless of the outcome on the field/ice, then keeping Brandon is the right business decision. If Pegula actually wants to win games, this is ****ing stupid.Comment

Re: For Those Waiting on Brandon to Leave...
The Pegulas were unhappy with how there were always issues with the operations of the sabres compared to how they saw the Bills operation ran smoothlyComment

Re: For Those Waiting on Brandon to Leave...
Brandon isn't a GM, he isn't a scout, he doesn't do player personnel. He's a marketer, a business growth executive. He has nothing to do with wins and losses. Why is that so hard to understand?Originally posted by OpIv37 View Post

Re: For Those Waiting on Brandon to Leave...
Thats the problem here. You are not viewing Russ from a business perspective. No one is saying Russ was ever a great talent evaluator. You guys just needed someone to blame therefore you concocted the thought that he was was responsible for a lot of the decisions and blamed him for the results ON THE FIELD.Originally posted by OpIv37 View Post
Even you would fire Russ if that were true, yet you aren't even worthy of sniffing Russ' jockstrap when it comes to business.Last edited by justasportsfan; 07-27-2015, 11:12 AM.Comment

Re: For Those Waiting on Brandon to Leave...
I am not a Russ Brandon fan. He is a "yes" man and I hate seeing "yes" men get ahead.
Bill Polian had no problem saying no to Ralph and wasn't scared of losing his job.
Maybe there is more here but from what I've seen Im not impressed. The Toronto debacle falls on his shoulders and that didn't market the team geographically. It just made the Bills more vulnerable and for that I will never trust this guy.Comment
