Report: Bills hire Doug Whaley as Assistant GM
by Brian Galliford on Feb 3, 2010 3:44 PM EST
in Buffalo Bills News
Email
PrintJason La Canfora at NFL.com is reporting that the Buffalo Bills have offered an Assistant General Manager position to Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Personnel Coordinator Doug Whaley. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette confirms that Whaley has accepted the job.
Whaley has been with Pittsburgh for 10 years, and has been a (very deep) sleeper candidate for GM jobs around the league for a few seasons. During his tenure with the club, the Steelers have won two Super Bowls. He reported directly to Kevin Colbert, Pittsburgh's Director of Football Operations.
Whaley also lives in blogging infamy, as a ProFootballTalk.com report from 2007 indicated that Whaley forwarded a pornographic email to former Steelers offensive line coach Larry Zierlein, who then forwarded the email to league officials - including commissioner Roger Goodell - accidentally. It is believed that neither Whaley nor Zierlein were punished for the ordeal.
Perhaps the most significant point of consideration with this news is the fact that the Bills, for the first time in several years, seem to be attempting to set up some sort of succession plan in their front office. Current Bills GM Buddy Nix, who has been on the job for a little over a month, is 70 years old. Whaley is 37. Nix won't ever be considered a long-term solution as the GM in Buffalo, but if he can turn around the roster and groom Whaley as his eventual replacement, Buffalo might actually have something cooking in the front office.
Nix comes from a background of structure in the front office, having served as a pro personnel coordinator and Assistant GM under both the late John Butler and A.J. Smith during his long career. It appears that that structure is part of Nix's plan for Buffalo, as well.

I have tears of joy in my eyes right now
Could it be? Are the Bills actually building a viable, long term front office infrastructure?
Please say yes to the job Whaley!

I couldn’t have put it better. Everybody knows I’m probably the biggest critic of this team around here and I, of all, would LOVE this move. I know for a fact that this guy is one bright-minded fellow, who will become a GM for some team in a few years. If we could land him, it would be an absolutely brilliant move by Buddy Nix.

Q&A with Doug Whaley, on his job description (from 2006):
During the season, mostly I’m the advance scout for the coaches, so during the week I’ll break down the film of the opponent — not their plays, but their players: the good points, the weak points and the summary of how they played. During the weekend, I’ll go out and do some colleges. This weekend, I’m going to go to UVa (University of Virginia), watch film of their players on Friday and Saturday watch them play Miami, and then Sunday I’ll go to Baltimore. I’ll be trying to get things the coaches can’t get off film like injuries. If a guy’s hurt, was he carted off the field? Was he running on the sidelines? You try to get some signals and things like that in the general flow of the game because when you get the game, we don’t have the TV copy so you don’t get the continuous feeds. You get the offense and the defense. So I’ll tell them, ‘Hey, they started strong. They didn’t really finish.’ In the offseason, we get together and start looking at the unrestricted and restricted free agents, see who we’re going to bring in. And we’re always involved in college, the all-star games and going to the (NFL) Combine and getting ready for the draft. After the draft we’ll start looking at NFL Europe players. It’s keeping on top of guys that are out there that we may be interested in and guys in the league that we might be interested in, too, when their contracts are up.

Based on that passage and the recent history of the Steelers it sounds like he is on board with NIx’s philosophy that you mainly build through the draft.

Bill Polian and AJ Smith are gone, so there's not the usual balance between "sane" and "others." Ralph has mentally checked out since 1994. It's a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.

Makes me wonder if out DC candidate isn’’t an assistant under Dick Lebeau?

I agree. I had mentioned when Nix was hired (as others probably did as well) that they should have a succession plan in place for Nix, and grabbing a young up-and-comer (that’s what she said?) would be ideal to groom for the position.
That they’re grabbing someone from outside the organization is a bonus to me.

Tom Donahoe and Tom Modrak.
I guess that confirms that Wilson called the Whaley hire. Now it makes sense. Really just the same thing all over again, with a different name. Now that’s the Bills that we all know.
most of my posts get deleted :(
I would disagree with that.
Cowher was the one who won the power struggle with Donahoe, maybe he recommended Whaley if we took Gailey on as HC. It is very possible these two had better input to personell than Donahoe and that was the difference that got Cowher his super bowl win.
Just speculation on my part, but a very reasonable conclusion, and a reason why this might have happened. I think this is way off base and premature at this time to say it’s the same old thing. We don’t have any insight into the Cowher talks at this point other then he Recommended Chan Gailey to be our coach.

I was just pointing out that the Bills went back to the Steelers well for their player personnel hire. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but it is exactly the same place the Bills went with the last hire, that was my point. Just to be clear, I like the hire, but nobody can say that it represents a new direction in the hiring process.
most of my posts get deleted :(
FYI – the Steelers could block this move unless his contract is expiring. Unless he is leaving to become a GM Pittsburgh doesn’t have to let him leave.

I cant see an organziation
preventing a man from leaving for a better position after 12 years on the job for them. If he’d been there for 5 years maybe. Hes done plenty for Pittsburgh and I’m sure has enough people in the organization looking out for his best interests at this point to allow it to happen.

Hmmm, I'm not sure on the rules about leaving before a contract, I thought the rule was simply he had to take a higher level position
Right now he is only the Pro Player guy, Ast. GM with possibly language in the contract saying he gets right of first refusal as full time GM after Nix retires would more than cover that aspect.

Hmmmm...
I like the principle behind the move, but I have to raise the question, did the Bills bring in the right guy to head football operations once Nix decides to retire? What kind of credentials does Whaley bring to the table for the GM position?
Get the Bills back to the big game!
Two things...
Nix not going anywhere too quick. This rebuilding project will take a few years. If Whaley isn’t the right guy by then, we’ll just have to move on then… We’ll see though.
I was going to bring up Whaley as someone the Bills should have considered for the GM position. I believe he is very highly respected around the league (and he will get even better working under Buddy Nix). I did wonder if he would be too young for GM at 37 (remember I’m the one who kept saying they would need someone a little older to be able to commune with Ralph), but as the heir apparent I think he is a simply sensational choice. At a minimum it’s a huge upgrade from John Guy.
It would be a fantastic hire if he takes the job.
Asmart guy, young, but with experience. And a great choice to groom as ou future GM once Nix retires (which might be closer than ppl think). I would love it if this guy came here.
by CanadianBillsFan on Feb 3, 2010 4:28 PM EST reply actions
Sounds good
Is this a plan being formulated before our eyes? How refreshing would that be?
Bringing in a young guy from one of the best front offices just seems too good to be true. The fact that he loves porn just seals the deal!
In the end, it is probably more hope than reality again…

This is great news- gotta love his experience from Brian’s pickup on his job description and I love the changes Nix is clearly willing to make to the front office to get it in better shape than we’ve ever seen before.
I wonder though, If Whaley is really key to the Steelers why would they let him go this close to the draft when a) he will have done a lot of early work on their draft board and b) he might know their intentions?
He is on the Pro Personnel side. Probably not a lot to do with the draft but free agency, sure.

Where the lady (Whaley) walks into the house with the kid (Ralph Wilson/Russ Brandon) and has to do whatever he says and kiss his butt.

The light is getting brighter
I’m sure Buddy & Chan will use their charm and intensity to get Whaley to sign if that doesn’t work the “Boys” from B-Lo will have to make him an offer he can’t refuse.
Buddy’s experience working with top notch people is really starting to show—-he made John Guy accountable for his poor personnel decisions, Brandon was moved into a position that suits his strength, he is putting together a coaching staff of teachers and now he is on the verge of hiring an up an coming future GM. Lessons learned!!!
So far the light is getting brighter for the future——can’t wait to see what the new Sheriff in Town does in the draft!!!!
As Wyatt Earp once said "You tell 'em I'm coming! And Hell's coming with me you hear! Hell's coming with me! ~
Perfect.
This is the first move where I’m not sure there’s any debate: it’s exactly the right decision, and it makes sense on every level.
That is, of course, assuming that he takes the job.
...so I guess now I root for chan gailey...
One question
Do you guys think he’d be our Pro Personnel guy as well as assistant GM? Does an assistant GM do that much that it would preclude him from running our pro personnel dept.?

According to Chris Brown he would probably fill both roles. Link.

I use to be a huge Crown fan
But as I have gotten a little older those half-day hangovers have turned into 2 1/2 days. I really do not get a bad hangover from beer or Vodka, so I tend to stick with those now.
oh man do I know the 2 1/2 day hangover
I know exactly the feeling which is why I’m sticking to beer tonight.
I really am drinking to this move. This is the best move from the Bills since….well, bringing in Buddy Nix. I drank to that move as well. I am a big fan of this off-season already and thats saying something considering the draft and free agency are a ways off.
I actually feel there is hope the Bills are putting together an infrastructure that could be goal oriented and focused on a defined vision.

There is a bar just off of Clifton hill called eagles landing. I use to go there years ago cause I knew the owner. I stopped in there one night an he told me to hang out for a while he had a suprise for me. About an hour and a half later who walked in , Gordy! Him and his buddy do a austic show for probably an hour and a half taking requests. There was probably only 30-40 people on the bar. I got to meet him and hang out. I was pretty damn cool!

Awsome story, but I got you beat.
In 2005 ago the Rolling Stones did a stadium gig in Ottawa and decided to stick around for a few days. They liked the city so much that they decided to film the music video for their new single in a local rock bar called Zaphod’s, and then played a club gig there at night. My cousin worked there as a techy at the time. At about 3 in the afternoon he calls me up and tells me to get in there. I walk in and am greeted by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. My cousin and I ended up drinking bourbon with keith Richards until about 5 in the morning. BEST-NIGHT-OF-MY-LIFE!

I’m about to pour myself some Crown my boy! A front office, a plan in place? You can see Nix is confident in calling the shots. Now the question is will he do everything to try and draft a QB this year? But I’m getting ahead of myself. The fact that he is bringing in a young bright mind is just too good to be true. The fact that this is a reason to break out the Crown Special Reserve in fact!

As long as what you got doesn’t say White Zinfandel on it.
And don’t drink it if you want to retch by the bottom of the first glass. Other than that wine is great (even cheap wine). If you can find Finger Lakes wine at your liquor store, the premier product is the Rieslings. Good every year. A lot of the red wines from there aren’t so good.
Also, it’s easier to count bottles of wine than the number of weenie 12oz beers you’ve drunk.
If beer is your thing and you live near Wegmans, look for Middle ages 24oz bottles. Middle Ages X and Kilt Tilter get you ramped up for an afternoon of Bills football!

Also Lake Placid Brewing Ubu Ale is available in 12 packs – it’s a nice dark beer that has enough hops to balance out the malt. 7.5% alc
Quite well balanced. The X is 10% or so and Kilt Tilter is about 8 if I remember correctly. The cost from kind to kind for the middle ages varies but if you drink the whole thing you get a buzz :) At least I do, I don’t really have my beer legs any more.

If we end up with Vick, T.O., Richie I., and Porter….that is really pushing the dbag density limit for one team.
finally
some change. I can’t argue with them finally restructuring the FO. Nix seems like a confident or arrogant SOB depending on your view. But either way, you gotta love that he is shaking it up at OBD a bit

Either one is a nice change of pace around here!

i agree
it’s about time we had a leader who has done this before. Jauron as much as I loved him, never knew how to be a FO personnel evaluator. Now we have some brains with a plan..what an innovative way of thinking

Very refreshing. Impressive moves. It is a new era for the Buffalo Bills.

I AM SO HAPPY
I haven’t been able to say that about the Bills for a while now… Seriously, without any sarcasm!

Modrak
Just curious, but could this mean Modrak will be handed his walking papers…that is since we have more personnel (including Nix) that will focus on the draft.

Whaley is a pro personnel guy
he wasn’t working on the steelers draft, and so its not like he could just step in. Modrak will stay at least through the draft, and he might here for another year.
...so I guess now I root for chan gailey...
Yup, this is to replace John Guy
IF we see someone else from another team with a strong scouting background come in, then we’ll see Modrak either walk or be given a reduced role, either is ok. I think he has done an OK job, but wouldn’t mind a younger upgrade.
Nix and Chan, the new Cheech and Chong of the Bills, hopefully they will be as successful in business as they were, and not so much the drug fueled comedy act....
I'm hoping Whaley will help bring in a Steelers' draft guy
Now that would be a nice Modrak replacement…

Modrak came from the Steelers, though. Could the new guy be better or the same? :-)
YES WE CHAN!

Buddy Nix is terrifying
The chicken hawk will never get him with that look!

Finally!!
I think this is the structure that successful orginization have and I’m starting to come around to ol Buddy Nix as long as there is a structured chain of command at OBD it will help us turn this thing around….I hated the whole “GM by committee” thing that had going on at OBD this move should get most of our stamp of approval
