    I was thinking Dan Liburd, strength and conditioning assistant, is made to pay if it goes downhill this season.

      Seems Brandon steered Pegulas to Rex from Carucci and Rodak.

      Rodak :
      Team president Russ Brandon was so impressed that he told owner Terry Pegula not to let Ryan out of the building.
      With three weeks left, several statements Rex Ryan made in his introductory news conference as Buffalo's coach have fallen short of being true.


      Carucci :
      Brandon and General Manager Doug Whaley were the ones who led the Pegulas to Ryan. Brandon sold the owners on the immediate box-office value

        Still all about tickets, heh?
        Owners might change, but, the goal is still the same.

          Still too much about Brandon, imho. That's why I'd hoped for a senior "football" guy, figured that would finally run Brandon quietly into business side, but nah, they bought into him having a football clue that would frost his marketing ability I guess.

          I'd be willing to bet that "senior source" who thought they'd keep Schwartz was him as well. It smacks of his football oblivious.

              I wish you didn't say that. Now he'll never be so they can spite you.

                Brandon is sitll here. As long as that remnant from the Ralph era remains on the team we'll go nowhere.

                  IDK what to think of Whaley..... I feel the mess we are in is moreso Russ and Rex and Terry. Buddy picked Whaley and Buddy had things going on the right track so maybe he's not as bad as we're seeing if he's unimpeded.

                  Sacrificial lamb makes sense.

                    EJ ,plus 2 first rd picks for Sammy and now their first rd pick this yr needs surgery and hasn't played a down has made me see all I need to see. His words "qb purgatory" and cash strapped to upgrade. Not to mention that he and Russ were key in the Rex hire. He deserves all the heat coming his way.

                        Reality. Whaley needs a winning product on the field that makes the playoffs or else he's going to lose his job.

                            Doesn't really show how pivotal he was in making the hiring decision, just that he speaks well of the newly hired coach. Maybe because he likes his job?

                                Rex is a goner if the Bills don't make the playoffs, according to Jimbo:
                                Buffalo Bills great and Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly thinks it could be curtains for Rex Ryan if the Bills don't make the playoffs this year.
