The Jobs

- General Manager – Will make all of the final decisions and is in control of everything ranging from submitting trades to making draft picks. However, this position weighs equally amongst the staff in terms of opinion and everyones say should be accounted for before he determines the best route for the team. Each member will greatly influence his decisions.
- Assistant GM – 2nd in line to the GM and assists the GM in all areas. He will explore trade options around the league and all trade offers are directed through him to then announce in the war room for discussion. If the GM is unavailable the Assistant GM is able to make draft picks and post UFA bids. Only the GM and Assistant GM have this ability.
- President of Player Personnel – Is responsible for developing a free agency target list, projecting trades with other teams and reviewing players on all levels both college and pro.
- Vice President of Player Personnel - Assists President of Player Personnel with free agency list, prospective trade targets, and reviewing all pro and college players.
- Director of College Scouting – Helps decide needs and works with the national scouts to develop a big board for the draft.
- Capologist – This person is in charge of maintaining and keeping tabs of the salary information of the team. At all times the team must maintain a budget in regards to the annual revenue the team brings in. The responsibility for correct figures will lie in his hands and an excel spreadsheet for constant updating is usually helpful. A 53 man roster must be maintained as well.
- Head Coach – Has a key part in all decisions, but his focus is mainly on the team itself, rather than looking for trade options, etc… The draft board and player targets should be of importance to him as adding players he views as a fit for his system is critical.
- Offensive Coordinator - Helps decide needs and works with the offensive scouts to look for help on offense. Focus on potential UFA’s and picks that could help this side of the ball.
- Defense Coordinator - Helps decide needs and works with the defensive scouts to look for help on defense. Focus on potential UFA’s and picks that could help this side of the ball.
- Offensive Scout - Is responsible for helping out with info on all offensive players, college and pro.
- Defensive Scout - Is responsible for helping out with info on all defensive players, college and pro.
- National Scout -- Will evaluate all draftable players and assist the Director of College Scouting with the big board.
- Director of Media Relations -- Will report to the writers with feedback and information relative to the news of what is happening with the organization.

[marshawn lynch]

I would like to apply for Director of College Scouting. My previous positions included GM, AGM, HC, OC, and Offensive Scout. I have done a little of every position and now I would like to try this position out. Thanks.

Also last year I had a code system I made for all the players for we could talk about them without other fans knowing who we want to draft. Are we doing this again this year?

Hey Dabs, I'm willing to do any of the positions. Anything to help out.

Here were my past positions:

FFMD 08.1 - Scout
FFMD 08.2 - Head Scout
FFMD 09.1 - Head Scout
FFMD 09.2 - Senior Advisor
FFMD 10.1 - Director of Player Personnel

I'd half like to apply for AGM, but at the same time I wouldn't want to take it over someone else who might want it. Again, I'm willing to do anything.

Can I please be the Head Coach? If not that is ok.

[BigBillsFan13]

If there are going to be Coordinator positions, I'd like to apply for Defensive Coordinator. My previous positions were Defensive Scout, LB Scout, and DC.
If not, I'll do whatever else is needed.

BuffaloBizzness informed me he would like a position on the staff as well. Whatever you have for him.

being the resident math math guy, I guess I could be persuaded into being the capologist.

I could also be the archivist and run the war room and post announcements if you'd like. Between Max and I, with the cap and everything, we could keep at least some of that stuff in order to take the burden off of you.

[BuffaloBizzNess]

as BM23Rb pointed out i do want a position on the staff. I'd like to fill the Head Coach position. I have a great feel for all 3 aspects of the football team, Offense, Defense and Special Teams and can provide some great input as to what we need as a whole to better this team to take us over the hump.

As you can tell by my post I'm mostly new to this forum because I was on the BuffaloBills.com message board for years before FF. But I have over 10 years of actual playing experience, real life coaching experience, and am a Season Ticket Holder of the Buffalo Bills. So let's get this done GM, BuffBizz for HC.
