[SpikedLemonade]

I will miss his sunglasses

Kim will be missing something else of his.

"This was my decision. It was not an easy decision but I believe it's the right one for the future of the Buffalo Bills. Our search for a new general manager will begin immediately," Pegula said in a statement released by the team. "He is a good person and we want to thank him for his work and commitment to our football team."

Read between the sheets.

Terry is going to miss watching Kim get the meats.

Much depends on what happens now, as to how I view this. There are parts of the scouting/pro-personnel departments that have worked really well under Whaley, and he was the guy who set them up. If it's going to be a total house clearing, then I think it's a typical NFL mistake, in that like when a new HC gets appointed, it seems automatic that everything gets thrown out of the window, including the parts that were working, e.g. Schwartz after Ryan took over.

I'm also very wary about giving McDermott the amount of power it appears he's getting. He's done precisely nothing as a HC, to warrant the degree of control it seems he's getting. The likes of Reid, Belichick etc. had to earn that power, over a number of years, and they did earn it.

While the Pegulas might have made a good HC choice this time around, it looks like they might not have finished making mistakes in other areas. Aside from not getting a franchise QB, I don't think that Whaley and the personnel staff, have been anywhere near as bad as many would have it.

Another GM killed for not having a Quarterback. Happens all the time. Not having a QB is a coach/GM killer. See Buffalo, Cleveland, NJJ, 49ers.

Having a QB makes everyone look great. See New England, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Buffalo (Kelly Era), Miami (Marino Era), 49ers (Montana/Young) Colts (Manning), without Manning they go 1-15 to steal Luck, etc...

Good luck Doug. It's not your fault that there's only been about 2 good QBs drafted the past 3 years while you were GM.

Thank you GOD. Our long regional nightmare has ended.

LOL...Whaley will be more than fine, he doesn't need anyone's "good luck".

[WagonCircler]

You're next Russ.

[The Jokeman]

Timing is odd especially with the Sammy decision looming as well as signing of undrafted free agents. Hopefully we don't forget all this during the GM search.

[SpikedLemonade]

You're next Russ.

Getting filthy drunk when and if that happens.

[ckg927]

SPEAKING of "house cleaning"....TheScore.com is reporting through their app that the entire scouting staff will likely be turfed as well.

[Luisito23]

LOL, that goofy ass MF is never getting fired...Besides, doesn't he own part of the Bills?

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

you bastages all got your wish ! we just lost the best GM in football and you hounds from hell have been beating the drum for his head on a platter for years and now you got what you wanted. Whaley was the best GM we've had in years. without him at the helm we will be lost. We will probably go years now with out a playoff appearance.

Oh, I get it. You're one of those parody accounts.

I agree.

They are placing all their eggs in the McDermott basket, especially if they poach their GM from the Panthers.

There have been encouraging signs, but this is a Head Coach who has never coached a game at this level before.

That's a big gamble.

Huge.

Hopefully he's the next Parcells or Walsh.

Given Buffalo's history, he could be the next Gregg Williams or Hank Bullough tho.

LOL!!!!!!

I hope whoever replaces him knows how to find talent off the street because McD hasnt proven anything. All we've seen from his last giig at Panthers is that he wasnt anything special as a coach when his players went down to injury so he will need a very good GM. Its kinda scary that McD has been given a lot of power considering his lack of experience.

[feldspar]

You're next Russ.

Not that I'm a fan of Russ...

But if Russ Brandon is responsible for the things a lot of people think he is, I figure those people who are glad Whaley is gone should be thanking Russ Brandon for that. right? After all, Russ Brandon was behind firing Doug Whaley. Right?

Great job, Russ!
