Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula says the thought never occurred to him to fire Rex Ryan one year into his five-year pact. He didn’t consider moving on from Doug Whaley, either Pegula told USA Today this week.
“You have to have continuity,” Pegula told the paper from the NFL owners meetings. “I don’t care if you’re drilling oil in gas wells or you’re running a sports team. If you keep changing things, nothing’s going to work.”
The Bills went 8-8 in the first year under Ryan and the coach seemed to have lost his touch on defense, surrendering 359 points.
