Hey Terry, Do Us A Favor and SELL

[Chainshot]

Here is a part of the McDermott hire that gives more fuel to the "Pegula got lucky" theory:

There are reports that they hired a search firm when they hired Rex Ryan and they suggested that they hire McDermott. Pegula was entranced by Rex Ryan in his face to face interview and hired him.

When Rex didn't work out, they hired the same search firm, they once again suggested McDermott, and the Pegulas listened that time.

If that is how it played out...

So a dufus who is easily bamboozled by blather, bluster and bullshit.

Can they hire the same firm to search for GM/POHO? I would work for this firm, I wouldn't take much money, for Buffalo I can for free.

I can't believe they have to hire Zip Recruiter to find football coaches/GMs and Hockey Coaches/GMs.

If they used a consulting firm that would be widely reported, not some whisper. Why would it be hidden?

All the reporting on the search that led to Rex Ryan’s hiring was that Kim and Terry Pegula headed up the coaching search with Whaley/Brandon doing the leg work (making call/set up the interviews).

Pegulas set promising course for team’s future

All of Terry’s quotes are about the process and how the 4 of them (Kim/Terry/WHaley/Brandon) worked through it to end up with Ryan.

This is actually fairly standard practice in the NFL

I can understand for something like a tight ends coach .. you definitely should have people in the organization already who are up to speed on the games head coaches, offensive and defensive coordinators

HE wasn't a local buyer. Move easily off that idea. We're talking about a guy from Pennsylvania who lives in Miami.

Well, someone with local ties at least

I’d like to think Pegula hasn’t pulled the trigger yet because he’s doing a clandestine search for a legitimate President for his team to let run the franchise.

But I know better.

I doubt we see much before the NFL season is over.

Very easy just to put Kevyn's calls to voicemail and watch more Josh Allen highlights

at least in Chicago

I have no idea. I am going off of what I heard on a Sabres podcast this past week about the state of the team.

Bills turn to McDermott to end playoff drought

The Bills have chosen Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott as their next head coach, replacing the fired Rex Ryan. He becomes the 20th coach in Buffalo's 57-year history.

McDermott, 42, was one of four coaches to interview for the Bills' vacancy, along with interim coach Anthony Lynn, Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin and Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard.

I'm glad they landed on McDermott with those final four candidates.
