    As of right now...the Nix hire is more mediocrity.

    Now, that could change depending on how he handles the Modrak/Guy situation and who he hires as a HC. However, the hire in itself smells of Ralph wanting and hiring another guy who is a "puppet". The difference is, this is a football guy and he can sell it to the fans as such. I'm not saying that in a week or two this won't change, but right now this hire is the same old Buffalo Bills at work.

    To be honest listening to him I don't think he would take kindly to the puppet role that's probably why he fought for shotty
    which makes me
    respect him

    a man who will give up his job for a friend or person he repects is good in my books plus look at his history

      Like I said, for this to be any kind of improvement, he has to make the necessary changes that are needed in the next week or so. Then and only then, will we be able to truly say if this was a good hire or not.

        Isn't kind of difficult to say Modrak and Guy are the problem. It all depends on how it was set up within the organization. Modrak, is basically a part timer. He lives in Jacksonville. From what I have read on this and other message boards, he would offer his opinions on who to draft. It utimately was not his decision on who to draft. That makes a big difference. If it was Dick Jauron and Brandon making the final decision over the advice of Modrak, then that is their fault. Prior to coming to Buffalo, Modrak had a very good track record. It sounds now, Buddy Nix and depending on who the new HC is, the buck will stop there. I would rather have Buddy Nix drafting players than Dick Jauron or Russ Brandon.

          It never stops at the GM...Ralphy still has his hands all over this team with this hire.

            Based on his draft record at San Diego, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

              He did not have the final say in those drafts, so just throwing praise on him for those is not accurate. If you're going to do that then you must give him some blame for the Maybin pick this year. I don't know, I have to have more proof that this isn't on the cheap and that this organization truly wants to win. Right now, it seems like the same old thing we've seen for the past 10 years.

                I think we'll know within a week or two. If Jim Haslett or some other slob along his lines is being intro'd at OBD, it'll be the same old crap.

                  Agreed...I'm hoping it's going to be different, but I don't know.

                    I was not impressed when I heard it was Nix. I will give him 2 weeks though before I give up and resign myself to another few wasted years. By then we will know if Ralph has hired another puppet. It all depends on the coach Nix hires.

                          I will wait until he hires a coach to pass judgment. But so far, I like his attitude and background.

                            He gets a pass from me until proven otherwise...it will be interesting to see who stays, who goes and who is brought in. Just a matter of sitting back and seeing what happens.

                              he didn't give up his job for marty lol he worked with sd till mid 08, marty was fired before the 07 season began

                              what Nix did was retire because he thought him and marty would get a HC/GM gig in atl, it didn't happen


                              this quit because of his buddy crap is a nice false story someone is trying to shovel to you people, it's hilarious

                              Nix was brought in to sd by butler and AJ lol...and people think he's got a problem with AJ

                              wow people are idiots
