he wasnt working with much at the time either. aikman was mobile as a statue, irvin and smith were slowing down and the line wasn't getting away with murder anymore. it was a transitional period for the cowboys no matter who coached them
indeed. it was Aikman's last two seasons in the league and he was on concussion...what... 15? made the playoffs both seasons though.
Gailey's offense has done well everywhere he's been. He's gotten production out of garbage (see the Jay Fiedler and Lamar Smith Miami teams, and the Tyler Thigpen Chiefs last year) and has excelled when given good talent - see late 80s Broncos and 90s Steelers.
-
in the Chris Brown interview he reiterated that he would like to go to a 3-4 or at least a hybrid type defense
-
Looks like the subjects and predicates are all in order. How is it not in English? Lets see if I can make it simpler for you.
Essentially his offense even in the late 90's were too conservative. The reference to Barry Switzer was to the coach prior to Gailey. Since he was head coach the league has moved more and more to spread wide open offenses.
From the statement comes the possible conclusion that maybe Gailey's conservative philosophy would be even more out of place in today's NFL. Which, come to think of it, might be the reason that NO ONE ELSE HAS HIRED HIM as a head coach in the last eleven years.
and yet he ran the spread offense in KC just last year. now that's conservative football!

i would be very happy if this happened. I don't think it will though.

King probably talked to Aikman. Aikman didn't like Gailey cause he thought he was still a good QB rather than the brain scrambled shell of a QB that he was.
the wrap on Gailey over the years is that he adjusts the offense to make it capable of doing what it can do to win games. If the pieces stink, he goes conservative. If they're good, he opens it up. If you can run, you run. If you can only pass, you mainly just pass.

I'd interview him for the clipboard holding job, but I'd lean towards "no"
-
well first the listed heights weights aren't worth very much. Maybin said that he played at 245, but then he kind of implied in the same interview that he played closer to 240 (he also said he wants to play around 255 next season). Schobel has said that he just doesn't bother lying about his weight like most DE's in the league do.
the main thing is that Maybin looks and plays light. Schobel doesn't. It's probably, as Hardy Pile says, about leverage - body shapes vary and power is more about how the player is able to utilize their strength rather than just how many pounds they weigh on a scale.
-
yes...unless his shoulder is ruined.
-
yikes. Ralph sure knows who he likes and who he doesn't like.
-
such a switch is going to require to some serious FA pickups in the D-line.

some of these guys will be re-signed, but not all. It seems doable if we want to.
-
word was that in recent years he was despised by everyone on his own team other than Vrabel
-
why is this its own thread?
-
I love this thread
-
one thing I will not do is listen to Mike Lombardi. It's well known the guy wants an NFL job.

So, Gailey was OC for Denver for a SB champion, and OC in Pittsburgh for 2 division champions, became HC in Dallas and got two playoff appearances out of the caucus of the Cowboy dynasty coming off a 6-10 season, was OC in Miami for two 11 win seasons, and had six winning seasons as HC at GT, when recruiting is hugely overshadowed by bigger programs.
So, the guy has been a HC, can fix the dreadful offense and has been in the playoffs countless times.
What exactly are people complaining about other than he's not a "marque name"? Is it just that bitching and whining about the selection is the popular/cool thing to do??
Frankly, this is a better choice than I expected.
I don't think he was at Denver for any championships. He was an qb coach and then an OC for the late 80s Elway teams. They were pretty good.
-
Here is your grade: F. You did zero analysis of the 53 man rosters of any team. Your sole argument is that "even average QB play" could make the Bills a playoff team, which is a non-starter since any team that enjoyed solid offensive production could say the same thing.
well we could have easily beaten the Jets twice. They're in the AFC championship game. We can't be that bad.
-
with the receivers teh cheifs had, would you?
Tony Gonzales was pretty good. Of course I probably wouldn't love the idea of throwing over the middle with the QB's they had.
it just seems like the best passing offenses pick apart the middle - the Pats, Colts, Cards, and Packers - it's their bread and butter. I hope with Gailey it was a practical choice rather than a philosophical one.
-
This article talks about Galley's passing offense halfway down the page.

I really don't like the part where it says he doesn't like to use the middle of the field.
-
I would freak out (in a good way). I love Colt McCoy, guy reminds me of Drew Brees coming out of college. In fact, the exact same negatives that people throw at McCoy were the same ones they threw at Brees that allowed him to slip to the 2nd round.
I know I'm in the minority, but Colt McCoy is going to be a star NFL QB.
I'm not a big McCoy believer but think he could be successful in the right system. He reminds me a bit of Alex Smith but McCoy played against better competition.
-
The man hasnt been mentioned for a HC or coordinator position in this last wave of NFL openings.
well he was mentioned for the Bears OC opening.
-
no idea.
Colt McCoy? 2nd round.
-
Some cold water in the face regarding Gailey's two years in Miami: despite the team going 11-5 both seasons, they finished 26th and 21st in offense. Basically, they had a dominant defense and a stagnant offense, and the defense won for them.
in fairness he was working with Jay Fiedler and Lamar Smith.
-
Schefter just said Miami is bringing him in for an interview.

sorry, this thread was meant for ironic levity
Peter King Chimes in on Gailey Hire ...

except Georgia Tech
also Schefter tweeted yesterday: "Two teams said they considered hiring Chan Gailey last year, but questioned "sizzle" factor with fans. Great coach, but not popular w/ fans."
