    Buddo is right. Nothing is coming out of OBD and the media has become a group of crap throwing monkeys.
    I think the fact that Whaley has basically been completely out of the public eye and McDermott has been the spokesperson thus far and it's already been announced he will be for the draft qualifies as more than 'crap throwing'. Add to those the reports that (allegedly) Whaley was all-in on Lynn and Pegula was pissed about Doug botching the presser, the evidence is starting to mount.

      Why do people think OBD would cone out and mention that Whaleys on his way out? The media is always going to be the first to speculate, because obviously when OBD comes out its done and official.
      Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

        If Whaley is on the way out then why wait until after the draft? You're basically just have him be in the meetings and in the room for what reason?

          To explain to Russ Brandon what 'tweener' and '4.3 forty' means while McD is making the picks.

          Good question, though.

          If Pegula knew he was going to fire Wrecks prior to the last week of the season why didn't he do it earlier?

            I agree you turf him now.

            Does the Dragon Lady need a few more rounds with Doug?

              Why would you have a lame duck GM involved n your draft at all? If that's the case who's selecting the players? I wouldn't want Whaley anywhere near what I was doing if I was looking for his replacement. That makes no sense.

                    The only advantage you have to firing a coach early is to get a jump on the others teams who will also be in the market. If Pegula didn't have a name in mind that he wanted to jump on before other teams then firing Ryan early provided no strategic advantage.

                    I don't understand how you let Whaley take part in meeting, help assemble the big board, and give input on personnel discussions if you plan to fire him in a few weeks. I suppose it's possible that he's just showing up to work, playing the crossword and collecting a check but I highly doubt it.

                        All very good points. Then again, it's an assumption that Whaley is participating in the big board process as much as he used to, or at all, this time around. Or even free agency for that matter. Have we heard a peep from him as the signings have come through?

                        I get what you are saying...if I'm not planning on holding on to a guy (especially one in a critical position like GM) I'm going to get rid of him sooner rather than later, personally.

                          Such a dysfunctional organizational structure.

                            Such a joke of a franchise.

                            Terry has zero clue how to run a football team, and that's become evident over the past couple of seasons.

                              Hearing if #Bills do part ways w GM Doug Whaley, #Panthers dir of player personnel Don Gregory is not a potential replacement, as reported (elsewhere)
                              .

                              For anyone wondering, GM Doug Whaley is part of the #Bills' representation at the #NFL annual meeting in Arizona.

                                One things for sure, when Whaley's fired he won't have known anything about it.
