ORCHARD PARK – In the wake of firing former General Manager Doug Whaley on Sunday, Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula promised that he’d use every resource available to make his team better. Monday, he made good on that promise by announcing that the Buffalo media will lead the search for the team’s next GM.
The GM search will be headed up by a newly formed coalition consisting of media members from The Buffalo News, Democrat & Chronicle and Buffalo Rumblings, among others, dubbed the Buffalo United Media Survey.
Though Pegula declined to expound on the specific areas in which Whaley had failed, Monday’s announcement carried heavy implications that his embattled relationship with the media was largely to blame.
