3. Terrance Gray, Malik Boyd and Brian Gaine will share responsibilities left by Dan Morgan
Dan Morgan, the former Bills director of player personnel, has a new job with the Carolina Panthers as the assistant general manager. Beane said he will miss Morgan and everything he gave to Buffalo, but is excited to see him work for the team that drafted him.
"We are excited to see him leave, but it's big shoes to fill," Beane said of the vacancy left by Morgan. "Right now we're not going to fill the exact role that he had, the director of player personnel. What we've done is interview a couple of guys in house in Terrance (Gray) and Malik (Boyd)."
Terrance Gray has been promoted from director of college scouting to the assistant director of player personnel. Malik Boyd has earned the title of senior director of pro scouting after previously holding the title of director of pro personnel. Gray, Boyd, Beane, assistant general manager Joe Schoen and senior personnel advisor Brian Gaine will split the responsibilities left by Morgan's vacancy.
Beane thinks it's important to give those on staff new opportunities and challenges, so they can grow and develop.
"We believe we have some young risers here and some guys that if you continue to pass over, how will they ever grow and see what they can achieve," Beane said. "We just feel that we've got some guys that in time will be ready for higher roles as they open up, as the Dan Morgans leave. We've had some good people leave, and to me it helps your communication."
In Gray's new role, he will have time to focus on college and pro.
"He'll continue to lead the college department, but this will give him a chance to see what it's like to get some pro stuff," Beane explained. "He'll have a couple of times a year where he will push pause on the college and focus on some of the pro stuff, especially as we do our preseason scouting. And then again when we approach free agency so we can teach him that and give him a chance to grow and hopefully one day continue to ascend."
