BLZFAN4LIFE Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jan/20/1s20canepa/ There has been plenty of turmoil in the quarter-century the Spanos family has owned the team, but not much lately. Smith and Spanos have a great relationship, and Smith and Turner have a great relationship. When I see a Chan Gailey getting hired in Buffalo, I can only shake my head. Peace and harmony can be a wonderful thing. Just throwing it out there FWIW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Might want to fix your headline. That's SD U-T columnist Nick Canepa's opinion, not Spanos'. Edit: already done, I see. Never mind ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is he saying that Gailey will bring discord? And if so, based on what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind ... Yeah, I caught that, it was the columnists opinion sandwiched between a series of Spanos' quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a very descriptive line but I assume he's taking a shot at the calibre of head coach that a guy like Chan Gailey is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's not a very descriptive line but I assume he's taking a shot at the calibre of head coach that a guy like Chan Gailey is. How a guy praising Norv Turner after what we saw last weekend can have any credibility in criticizing other teams' hires is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Even moreso since Turner was given an exension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBSS151 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Good point. Even moreso since Turner was given an exension. Spanos has been in "lust" of Pete Carroll for 5+ years Alas, when Pete becomes available, Norv has the Chargers on an 11 game win streak and Spanos doesn't dare So. give him an extention It's a stange world - stranger in California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynical Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's not a very descriptive line but I assume he's taking a shot at the calibre of head coach that a guy like Chan Gailey is. I read the whole article 3 times. I am still not sure what Nick was getting at with that comment. If the comment was a diss against Gailey, he needs to recheck the Chargers coaching staff. For the sake of Charger fans, I hope Nick doesn't think Norv Turner is some great catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Norv Turner was 53-82-1 when the Chargers hired him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catskillbill Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 This columnist just throws in the Gailey hiring off the cuff like it has anything to do with the article he is writing about. Just a cheap shot at the Bills. Read down in the comments after the column and somebody is trashing AJ and his recent drafts, saying they should bring back Nix. I think we just have to let this play out and watch the coaching staff that gets hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I just emailed him asking for clarification of his Gailey comment...I will let you know if he provides clarification... I read the whole article 3 times. I am still not sure what Nick was getting at with that comment. If the comment was a diss against Gailey, he needs to recheck the Chargers coaching staff. For the sake of Charger fans, I hope Nick doesn't think Norv Turner is some great catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 here is the reply i got from the columnist...still not sure why it was included in the article.... PJ: What I'm saying is that Gailey is yet another recycled coach, probably the ninth guy the Bills offered the job to. I wish him the best. Nick I read the whole article 3 times. I am still not sure what Nick was getting at with that comment. If the comment was a diss against Gailey, he needs to recheck the Chargers coaching staff. For the sake of Charger fans, I hope Nick doesn't think Norv Turner is some great catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to find out what the columnists in Idaho, Montana and Oregon are saying. Then we can get real concensus of the country's opinion.

The Poojer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 to be fair, buddy nix has very strong ties to the chargers organization, so hearing opinions from that area is somewhat relevant and interesting...at least to me I think we need to find out what the columnists in Idaho, Montana and Oregon are saying. Then we can get real concensus of the country's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is he saying that Gailey will bring discord? And if so, based on what? He's saying that when you have owner/FO harmony, you don't end up having to hire a guy like Chan Gailey as HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 yeah exactly He's saying that when you have owner/FO harmony, you don't end up having to hire a guy like Chan Gailey as HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just for the obvious reasons of being a Bills fan, but I also want Gailey to win a lot to make these guys look stupid. I can't wait to read the columns about what a great coach he is in a few years, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Norv Turner was 53-82-1 when the Chargers hired him. I thought they were 0-0 when they hired him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
