murra Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm not a master salesman, but I have a funny feeling that the negotiating skills are so bad at OBD, that they didn't realize they had a two for the price of one opportunity with this guy. Who else thinks Gailey for HC is the biggest reach since John McCargo was made a first round selection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I vote for option 3. How the F do I know. Nobody knows the answer to this question. Its a pointless thread. Not o mention Grimm refused to interview and Frazier was said to have pulled his name out of the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 He's the biggest reach since Jauron. We've been sucky for a decade. This doesn't make us better, I think, but it probably doesn't make us worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't make us better, I think, but it probably doesn't make us worse. I'd agree that it probably doesn't make it worse. I think though that it's inexplicable for him to be named an NFL HC. I don't care what people will try to say about the state of our franchise and whatnot, this guy probably would've accepted the HC for the UB Bulls (I'm only partially joking), and most certainly would have accepted, say the OC position at USC, Notre Dame, or any big NCAA Schools with vacant OC positions (I'm not joking at all).

Just when you think this fanbase can't get any more demoralized after four years of Directionless Jauron, along comes this bit of "outstanding" news. Chan Gailey? Really, Ralph?? I just threw up a little in my mouth. Thirty-two teams in the league and this is the franchise that's in my blood. Holy cripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I heard the news, I was told to guess it from someone who knew and was telling me. Their hint was: It's not someone mentioned by the media. That got my hairs rising on my back. I was excited. Surely, since the media has only been mentioning mediocre assistants this is a BIG name. Then he told me. I thought he said Garry Galley at first.

DanInUticaTampa Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It depends if Fraizer would sign on to be a HC with Gaily as OC. I am sure Gaily would jump at it, not sure how Fraizer would feel about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotta Dream Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Why would we even consider Chan Gailey for any type of coaching position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Gaily would jump at it, not sure how Fraizer would feel about it. That's what I'm talking about. Not the logistics of whether or not it would work out that he'd be hired, but rather, would Gailey be satisfied with just the OC position. I'm leaning towards a massive YES.

KD in CA Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Why would we even consider Chan Gailey for any type of coaching position? Maybe because he has a track record of success at coaching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if he took an OC position at KC and didn't last, he would jump at OC position here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murra Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Maybe because he has a track record of success at coaching? Wow. I didn't think you'd support this move KD. Interesting. So what track record of success are you referring to, exactly? Zero superbowl championships, zero BCS bowl championships, never having an offense ranked in the top 5 in the league. I don't mean to snippy, but really, I would like you to talk me into liking this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Maybe because he has a track record of success at coaching? Dude that was the late 90s (cowboys), with his most succesful season at GT being a 9 win season (2006) - not much to brag about in todays ACC. Coaches, just like everything else in life, have their time at the top. Gaileys seems to be over a decade ago. No one else would take the job, thats my thinking.
