Chan Gailey going to Buffalo

[sportznutt]

per sportingnews

not Grimm!

 

[PJ1]

Only because nobody else wants it.

 

[vince56]

Chan Gailey? Why not just try out Dave McGinnis if you're gonna go there? the Bills are going to struggle.

 

[Krangodnzr]

No one wants that job. **** I wouldn't leave Iraq right now to take that job!

 

[Southpaw]

Ralph Wilson needs to retire.

 

[Mulli]

Terrible!

Perhaps they are using this hire to continue sucking to have a good excuse to move to the new stadium in Los Angeles......

just saying....

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

Poor Buffalo, even when they were good they sucked.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Chan Gailey?

What in the world are they thinking?

 

[lauraw]

Someone isnt thinking if chan Gailey is hired as the head guy!!

Or Toronto. I know the Bills draw well up there and if Goodell wants to expand the NFL "internationally" the Bills are a great team to do it with. They know they can draw a crowd and revenues there. If the Bills are the next team to move, I think there is a good possibilty Toronto gets a NFL team before L.A.

 

[Pariah]

That's a curious hiring, especially considering Billick seemed interested.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

In fact, Bill Cowher -- whom the Bills had been courting to replace the fired Dick Jauron -- highly recommended Gailey to the Bills.

I'm just glad it's not Grimm.

 

[sundevilscott]

Wow! They made a splash like a feather in a pond.

 

[ReddBird]

Ah, sad. There are some good Buffalo fans out there and they deserve better.

 

[40yearfan]

No one wants that job. **** I wouldn't leave Iraq right now to take that job!

And I wouldn't blame you one bit.

Stay safe young man.

More like Toronto!

 

[Renz]

Chan Gailey going to Buffalo.

I don't foresee a run on season tickets.

 

[TheHopToad]

Well, he's already coached America's Team, so why not take a shot with "North America's Team"...

 

[ajcardfan]

Ah, sad. There are some good Buffalo fans out there and they deserve better.

Yeah, from Gregg Williams to Dick Jauron to Chan Gailey. That's almost cruel and unusual punishment.

 

[DeAnna]

Another re-hashed re-tread.

Bills planning move West?
Chan Gailey is the kind of hire that has some thinking the Buffalo Bills franchise is dreaming of Los Angeles in its future.

Gailey, 18-14 record in two vanilla seasons coaching the Dallas Cowboys, did such a bang up job in his last job as Chiefs offensive coordinator, he was demoted after three pre-season games. Gailey was relieved of calling plays by head coach Todd Haley

The theory is simple, hire a retread coach (Chan Gailey) who creates no buzz, turn your fan base off and eventually they stop caring (Buffalo). Then the team won't look as bad packing up the moving vans to a new city (Los Angeles).

Owner Georgia Frontiere did this with the Los Angeles Rams in the early 90's. She hired a washed up Chuck Knox. After a 15-33 run with "Ground Chuck" that killed interest in the team, the Rams skipped town to St. Louis.

That was my first thought as well.

Not until owner Ralph Wilson dies.
