That's right. Bill probably knows a few HC's that he could recommend for Buffalo.
I watched that video and Beane came across poorly.
We didn’t know it yet, but the day they hired Vrable.
Looks like Beane has the owner's ear, and McDermott lost the power struggle. That whole press conference makes both Beane and ownership look petty and unaccountable. It may cause any coach interested in the job to hesitate. All in all, job openings with MVP quarterbacks in their prime don't come along too often, but bad ownership is cancerous to an organization.
he does sound like a ****head.... A very thin skinned ****head, and he gave these guys some great content for this offseason.
I don't think he's a bad owner. He's been loyal to the city. Built a new stadium. Helped build a perennial challenger and division winner, etc. I think he simply made a blunder. He reacted emotionally to an emotionally charged loss and fired his coach, and then compounded that error with an emotionally charged presser.
By no means do I think Pegula is in the Woody Johnson realm of bad owners, but Pegula has a track record of keeping the wrong guys. As he also owns the Buffalo Sabres, which he has driven into the ground by hiring and firing coaches and GM's and trading away players who win elsewhere. The most recent GM he let linger for 6 years through 3 different coaches, and the Sabres haven't made the playoffs since he bought the team.
With none of his own money, and is charging for PSLs.
Thanks for the additional info. I didn't know about the Sabers. We Bruins fans have our own ownership issues, but from a better winning situation.
