[Skkorpion]

According to KTAR.

Ugh. If true, things keep getting worse.

No joke. I didn't think that it could get worse than Sherman. Apparently, I was wrong.

 

[CardNots]

I love this, now the real season begins. Shaping up to an blockbuster...

 

[Ryanwb]

Good lord!

 

[Diamondback Jay]

Chan Gailey? Oh boy.. Now THAT one will put asses in the seats.

 

[ajcardfan]

Don't worry, it's all part of the "soundness" of the Cards approach! Just doing some more homework!

 

[Renz]

I don't believe it.

 

[D-Dogg]

I don't beleive it, at all. No freaking way in hell.

 

[Ryanwb]

I guess they didn't like what they heard from any other candidates and are now scraping the bottom rung. Norv Turner should be up next

 

[ajcardfan]

I'd pay Mike Sherman 8 million dollars to be coach if it meant someone different than Chan Gailey getting the job.

 

[D-Dogg]

Did this dribble out of Gambo's mouth?

Maybe he meant Chow, and was too stupid to get it right.

You are right...he's in Pittsburgh Saturday. Thanks for the link..

 

[Redsz]

He is also interviewing for the PIT job. I have no idea how he fits what the Cardinals are trying to do.

 

[Evil Ash]

This sounds like mistaken identity because we're interviewing Whisenhunt on Saturday

 

[SunCityCarl]

Coming up next to Arizona former Dallas Cowboys Coach Barry Switzer!

This sounds like mistaken identity because we're interviewing Whisenhunt on Saturday

No, Whisenhunt is getting interviewed today.

 

[az1965]

Please God NOOO!

I don't want to believe it... Graves clearly said that the future HC will be from among the first eight interviewed.

 

[Russ Smith]

As long as we don't interview Steve lavin.

So according to KTAR, Gailey is interviewing with PITT and AZ on the same day? That report is bogus IMO.

List swells to 5 with addition of Gailey

By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The Steelers will add another familiar name to their list of coaching candidates when they interview Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey, one of their former offensive coordinators, about replacing Bill Cowher.

Gailey, 55, will meet in Pittsburgh tomorrow with team chairman Dan Rooney, president Art Rooney II and director of football operations Kevin Colbert about returning to the team where he was an assistant coach from 1994-97. Gailey will be the fifth and, apparently, final candidate to interview for the position.

After they interview Gailey, the Steelers will begin paring their list of candidates and conduct second interviews next week with those who make the final cut.

They already have interviewed four candidates for the position -- offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, offensive line coach Russ Grimm, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.

Whisenhunt is scheduled to have a second interview today with the Arizona Cardinals, who are looking for a replacement for fired Dennis Green. Grimm had a first interview earlier this week with the Cardinals.

The Steelers have no immediate timetable to name a successor to Cowher, who resigned last week after 15 seasons as head coach. But it is possible an announcement could be made by the end of next week.

Gailey, who already has interviewed with the Miami Dolphins about replacing Nick Saban, could not be reached for comment.

Gailey has long been considered a favorite of Cowher, who hired him in 1994 to be the Steelers' wide receivers coach. When he feared he was going to lose Gailey to another team after Super Bowl XXX in 1995, Cowher did not re-hire offensive coordinator Ron Erhardt and promoted Gailey to the position.

After two years as offensive coordinator, Gailey left to become head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, leading them to back-to-back playoff appearances and winning the NFC East title in 1998.

The Cowboys, though, fired him after two seasons, and Gailey joined the Miami Dolphins as offensive coordinator in 2000 and '01, working under head coach Dave Wannstedt. In seven of his eight seasons as an offensive coordinator in the NFL, Gailey always has had a 1,000-yard rusher, including Jerome Bettis with the Steelers.

Gailey, though, desired to return to college coaching, and he became head coach at Georgia Tech in 2002. He has led the Yellow Jackets to a 37-27 record in five seasons, including a 9-5 mark this season which ended with a 38-35 loss to West Virginia in the Gator Bowl

Gailey also was a head coach at Troy State University and Samford University and has a 61-38 record in eight seasons as a college head coach.

Edited my original post to include link. Gailey is supposedly in Pitt on Saturday.
Maybe we are so cheap we are going to conference in on it :big grin:

 

[D-Dogg]

Gambo probably said this, and he's a freaking moron and read "Chan Gailey would be interviewing tomorrow" and started spouting it before reading "in pittsburgh."

 

[Evil Ash]

No, Whisenhunt is getting interviewed today.

There were some reports that Whisenhunt's interview was on Saturday

 

[Diamondback Jay]

I'd pay Mike Sherman 8 million dollars to be coach if it meant someone different than Chan Gailey getting the job.

Hell, I'd bring Denny, Buddy Ryan, Mac, Joe Bugel or Gene Stallings back before I'd hire Chan Gailey.

 

[ajcardfan]

Hopefully you heard it wrong Skkorp.

Or, are you trying to get everyone riled up again!
