Fan in Chicago

Thanx for the link. ---------------------------------------- We asked if Reeves would be open to working with Gailey in Buffalo. "I tell you, if I could help Chan Gailey out, I would certainly be interested in that." ---------------------------------------- Very interesting... And Wiki is already updated with this tidbit ------------------------------- Reeves is reportedly interested in returning to coaching for the 2010 season as a part of Chan Gailey's staff with the Buffalo Bills. -------------------------------

I just look the other way and don't care who 'nevergiveup' really is. Why look a gift horse in the mouth ?

I thought you were implying that Edwards said good things about Gailey because he wanted Gailey to get the job. Your example made it sound that way

You shouldn't be cutting and posting full articles here. In any case, I agree the choice of DC is very important. I want a DC who is flexible. It is unlikely that, if we are switching from the Cover-2, then we will get all the required personnel for the new scheme all in one year. We may have to run a hybrid scheme this year with what we have and acquire then shift to a full version of the 3-4 or 4-3. So, an inflexible guy will not make it work this year. By the way • Offensive line: Gailey's position coach in Dallas was Hudson Houck (I am sure I am the first one to snicker at this name, absolutely the first)

Save for the bit where Gailey was doing neither when Herm spoke

If one were to step back and see this situation, it is apparent that no matter who you believe, it is clear that Schotty Sr. did NOT turn the Bills down as the 'Bills FO sucks' crowd were screaming about. Also, Nix's story checks out with Schotty's statements - that Nix was getting more calls than he was making.

I don't think I have read much by way of derogatory comments regarding his departure. Most (everyone ?) is happy he is gone because he has been unable to build a roster with any consistent sense or purpose. Some good drafts, many bad ones and pretty much a disaster in the free agent area. He underperformed and we are happy he is gone. That hardly qualifies as 'dancing on his grave'

This might actually be good news if indeed he has been instrumental in our personnel decisions over the past several years. Not sure how it worked internally with Overdorf. Also, do we have another insider at OBD ? If so, TBD must have incredible credibility.

My reaction ? to Nix.

I think Tim Graham and Wawrow are valuable TBDers and nevergiveup just joined that group by building up his credibility rather quickly and deservedly. I think there is space for friendly dialog, discussion and healthy disagreements here between reasonable and logical posters. I hope neither TG nor NGU is offended by the idiots on this board. In this specific discussion, there appear to be two points of view - NGU's from inside the organization and TG's from (possibly) Marty's side. As some others have said, we can choose what we want to believe without vilifying either messenger.

Saved me a bunch of typing as I agree. It makes sense that Nix did not want to ruin his personal relationship with Marty and Ralph took it upon himself to be the 'fall guy' for the non-hire. Once Shanahan was gone, I was hoping we got Marty. But instead of beating up on Gailey, I would like to give him a chance. His choice of DC will be a good first indication of how he thinks. A solid, proven hire will go a long way to bumping up his credibility and Nix's. I am a tad less concerned about OC because Gailey himself has been an OC and a fairly successful one at that. Is Mike Nolan available to be our DC ?

Sad thing is that the Bills' losing ways have provided plenty of fodder for the likes of Sullivan. With a new coach and expected personnel overhaul, this coming season does not promise to be a winning one either allowing Sullivan about 1.5 years to beat up on Nix. So one way or the other Sully is in a good position for the near term.

I haven't gone through all pages of text but I think you should take a bow for this post.

Actually it is really bad when you have to look to Cowboys fans for their opinion on our HC hire

If you are correct, I won't be able to decide if I should pat you on the back or kick you in the rump. By the way whats with the 'your' ? Which team's fan are you ?

I am in Houston today and the radio here brought up that game twice and described the Leon Lett taunting celebration prior to the Beebe strip. They were saying, and I paraphrase a bit "The Cowboys are fun, entertaining but their history shows that classy is not a word you can associate with them." Also, he pointed out that on that play the Cowboys were blitzing which means they wanted to get after Favre. So, then Favre calls an audible and throws for a TD. I happen to agree with them on all points.

Yes, the fact that he was interested in a job and took up one with KC. Ergo, the Bills suck, RW is a cheapskate, Brandon is a moron and no one wants the Bills HC job.

For once the announcers didn't have to manufacture reasons to proclaim his alleged greatness

I missed that completely. Thanx for correcting me.

Boring really. Hope the Colts win a thriller this evening.

Yep, AZ is done.

Guess Grimm can start looking for deals now. The Cards ain't coming back

Plus Warner looked a bit unsure in that series. Saints geauxing for the kill.
