The last of the Richardson era

[Mr. Scot]

Don't think there's anybody left in the front office from the prior regime.

(at least not in the personnel area)

I wish we'd hired someone who would've cleaned house to build a new and improved organization. Instead, we got David Tepper and Matt Rhule. Oh wee mayne.

Tepper's #1 mistake was giving Matt Rhule full control of personnel. For all his faults as a coach, it's his roster management that has crippled this team and will likely continue to for several years once he's gone.

Thing is, Allen was generally considered to be a hard worker and good at his job.

My worry here is whether this is a Matt Rhule move or Fitterer/Morgan. Rhule has final roster say and general team control, but I don't know if that extends to hiring and firing in the front office (which he technically could have if he has Tepper's ear).

If it is Rhule, expect the replacement to be someone loyal to him.

A little more...

First thought would be someone from the Bills or the Seahawks, and there are some good people to be had from either staff.

I still think its LOL funny that Tepper's first move was to fire Tina Becker.   The ink wasnt even dry on the sale contract and he kicked her to the curb.  He knew what was up

[Zod]

Matt Allen wanted Sam Darnold here.

[Greatman77]

Change is good - If the new guy, whoever that is, is an improvement..

[vorbis]

would imagine this will be a Fitterer hire when it happens. and Fitterer seems to have really good contacts around the league, so I'm expecting a good one after the draft.

Why in god's name would anyone leave the Bills' organization for here? The Seahawks could potentially be a different story depending on the general feel in the building for how much longer Pete Carroll is gonna stick around. But the Bills? Hell, he'd never come out and admit it publicly but I imagine that if Dan Morgan had a mulligan on that decision he'd still be in Buffalo.

Commie fans know the writing is on the wall and not happy about it

Same reason people go to the Lions or the Jags, promotions and/or connections.

I was hoping Morgan could pry Lake Dawson away from them as a college scouting director but they hired someone else for that job.

Pro scouting director? If Fitterer's old friend (and former Panthers scout) Trent Kirchner is looking to bail, he'd be a great hire.
