Rhett Warrener (not aging well) on Lindy and Terry: "They are buddies"


Recommended Posts

Further, according to Rhett, TP made the hire and the plan is to have LR in upper management at the end of his contract.

Not earth shattering except for the close relationship between the two.

It's been asked before: what does the Buffalo sports "media" do?

I always suspected this when he came back and was forced to take the existing Asst Coaches... I always thought eventually he would be give the keys at somepoint. Quite honestly, I am not sure i want him as GM or POHO but hell I would be even willing to try that and let him over haul the team... couldnt be worse than the status quo. I bet he would make a play for Peca as coach.

"Terry, after I fix your team I'm going to teach you how to fish." ~ Lindy, after three snifters of brandy.

Haha! Grok is still thinking about the Sabres.

I think Lindy should have been brought on as POHO this season, but I don't know if he would have even been interested in that. Maybe he's still intent to coach. A guy like Lindy would be the perfect buffer between Terry & operations. It's becoming more clear by the game Lindy isn't the coach for this team (I'm not solid that anyone is). Maybe that's the ultimate plan to have Lindy move upstairs in that role. But if Appert is the succession plan, that's more Terry ***** and he needs to removed from operational decisions. Harumph, I just don't see much to be positive/excited about in this team's future.

It's tough getting older. No need to point out that Rhett Warrener isn't aging well. That's just mean. 

He had his day and I'm bitter he did and I didn't. Shave yer ass, Crackers, and learn to walk backwards.

Senior Advisor. 

No, he cannot be another voice in the room. Somebody had to be in charge. Enough with this stupid flat leadership structure where responsibilities are muddled and anybody can convince Terry something is a good idea. 
 

President of Hockey Ops, GM, or something similar, that is it.

If true, this kills my thoughts that Lindy was hired by Adams to coach for 2 years and that is it.   (Maybe he gets an FO advisor job after the coaching job is done.) 

I am surprised by this report that Terry and Lindy have a close relationship.  Perhaps I shouldn't be? 

Everything Terry has done with the Buffalo Sabres has been convoluted and always involves "friendships" and "connections" over bringing in fresh talent based on actual merit.  He hired LaFontaine while being starstruck.   He hired Bots over Zito, Bots had a Sabres connection.  Housley.  Adams lives in Buffalo.  Now Ruff.  

OK @Stoner, where is this Rhett Warrener stuff coming from?   I see nothing on this on the internet.

It makes perfect sense to me that Terry and Lindy have a close friendship, of sorts.

I keep saying it: Lindy is our best hope for saving this joke of a franchise. He has the stones, the bona fides, and the relationship needed to stand up to Terry and right this ship.

(Actually, righting the ship is probably not severe enough -- to bring the ship up from the floor of Lake Erie, restore it, and get it sailing again.)

Where is this from? Just curious.
