The only way a majority of Bills fans were going to be happy with the choice of Head Coach was with Bill Cowher. Even if the Bills hired Marty Schottenheimer, there still would have been complaints about Marty.
Realisticly, what respectable coach would want to come to Buffalo and be the coach for a 91 year old meddling owner? Ralph has almost the same bad reputation as Al Davis. We all know Ralph's biggest mistake was firing Bill Polian. Then he got shell-shocked after Tom Donahoe.
I don't think the choice of Chan Gailey is as horrible as Dick Jauron, Mike Mularkey or Gregg Williams. Obviously, Chan was on anyone's list of possible candidates, but he has had success as a coach/coordinator. Before the doom & gloomers rant and rave about this decision, let's wait and see who is brought in for coordinators, who we pick up via free agency & the draft. I'm willing to give Nix & Gailey a shot to see if they can turn this team around.
