Bills hire Chan Gailey?

BigdaddyQH · 01-19-10, 11:11 AM

Why? That hire makes no sense at all. This team gets worse and worse.

The team announced it would hold a news conference at its facility in Orchard Park, N.Y. at 2 p.m. ET.
The Bills are said to be impressed with how Gailey has brought teams to the playoffs with quarterbacks such as Mike Tomczak, Kordell Stewart and Jay Fiedler.

That's a great reason.

BigdaddyQH · 01-19-10, 11:21 AM

Oh yea. So I guess the Bills think that since they have a terrible QB, Gailey is the guy to lead them. That is hysterical.

I could not be more dissapointed.

AMBlai01 · 01-19-10, 11:31 AM

I am a Bills fan and this is awful. I seriously don't know how much more of this I can take.

The biggest reason he was hired was that he was strongly recommended by Bill Cowher....

what do you want them to do? everyone turned them down!

Jim Haslett deserves another shot. Ex-Bills player....might be a good choice.

The guy waiting for Coughlin to get knocked off so he can take the Giants

Well, they seemed to try to sign any number of coaches but they all turned them down. Still they should've gone with a young hungry coach instead of this ultimate re-tread.

Marv Levy was looking quite spry in his latest commercial

Would have rather had Leslie Frazier, who seemed very interested in the job than this hire. I think that management was so obsessed with getting an offensive minded coach in there because of how bad it has been over the past few years that they jumped at any offense guy that would show any bit of interest.

I am down I-90 from Buffalo, but a Steeler fan. Hope you Buffalo Bills turn it around. GL

Being a bills fan, we are more then used to being dissapointed. So in that sense, he kind of fits the bill.. (no pun intended)

BigdaddyQH · 01-19-10, 11:47 AM

I think there is a reason why Frazier did not get the job, and it has nothing to do with football.

SpectacularBid · 01-19-10, 11:50 AM

guy is nothing but an albatross

morocca · 01-19-10, 11:52 AM

how in the world did this guy get the job?

OperatorX · 01-19-10, 11:55 AM

Will the bills take a shot for Michael Vick, would it be a huge mistake? I guess anything is an upgrade.

Scorpion · 01-19-10, 12:01 PM

stupid owner

shock11 · 01-19-10, 12:01 PM

Gailey could be god

Makes no sense to me.

Depends on what other QBs will be on the market. They definitely need to get a veteran guy in there and develop another young QB. Vick might be a viable option but don't count out the fact that McNabb could be available too. He is a 6.2 Million dollar bonus in May right after the draft....so if a team like the Bills or someone else don't get what they need in the draft....McNabb might be there just sitting waiting for a team.

Now I realize that it is unlikely that McNabb would go to Buffalo but I am sure there will also be a couple other veterans out there that would be a good upgrade for the Bills. It will be interesting to see how much Ralph Wilson will be willing to spend in the uncapped year...that is the real key.
