I got the sense in the room they were just afraid of a work stoppage, afraid of the union, and they would accept anything. The union should've asked for more; they would've gotten it. It was a panic deal. I've seen it before, but not like this. |
I have always said, always, that I would never move the team from Buffalo. Now, with this new collective bargaining agreement, I'm hopeful that I can steadfastly adhere to what I've said. But I'm making no promises. |
I just don't feel we've made enough progress in the last five years. I think we have a good future. But I do think we need a fresh start. |
I just don't think they're as interested in the game as the old owners, I really don't. |
I just don't think we made enough progress in the last five years. I just think we need a fresh start and that's why this change is being made. |
I want to apologize to the fans of Buffalo, we haven't done a very good job for them. I take responsibility of this organization, and if there's any bullets to be fired, you should fire them at me. However, in Tom's leaving, it is my feeling that we need a fresh start. |
I was completely surprised at his statement (to resign). |
I was completely surprised by his statement. He seemed very firm about it. Now we're going to go forward and look for a new head coach. |
I was completely surprised. I think things were troubling him from his local detractors. |
I'm against playing it in cold weather. But that wasn't the decisive reason Phoenix got the game. It was the new stadium and the weather that that area enjoys at that time of year. That's what decided my vote. |
I'm disappointed with the whole season, and I'm going to address it. |
I'm disappointed with the whole season, the whole season and I'm going to address it. I'm not just going to say, 'Gee I hope we get better next year.' We're going to change the structure. |
I'm going to talk to Mike and see what he has to say and see what he thinks he needs. But there are going to be some changes. What's that old song? 'There are going to be some changes made'? Frankly I forget the words beyond there are going to be some changes made. |
I've been doing this for 28 years, and I've seen it happen maybe three times. |
In Tom's leaving it's our feeling, and my feeling, that we need a fresh start. There is going to be a restructuring with the Bills operation. |
