uticaclub Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I want gailey. If he's the OC he's still gonna call terrible plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 I want gailey. If he's the OC he's still gonna call terrible plays I still believe Gailey can be a solid OC but he can't handle the HC role. Much like Wade Phillips is a great DC but a horrible HC. With a little supervision, and someone to say "Chan, WTF, hand the ball to CJ" I think he can be a solid OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 In no way would that work out for many reasons. You can dream but not many coaches will step down to a lower position, come back to a team they worked with before at the same position, or step back down to a scout Nix could be a consultant. But the rest wont happen. If I were the Bills id make a quiet bit contact to Arians and see if we could get him here and feel him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I cannot recall a single coach ever having been demoted to a coordinator's position after serving for years as the head coach. You move somewhere else to take an OC position after you're let go. Why in hell would Gailey want to stay somewhere where the organization has voiced doubts about his ability to do the job? I get it that he has the Cowher connection but I think him staying on in a lesser role is even less likely than bringing in Cowher in the first place. I like the guy from Stanford, could live with Saban, and really wouldn't mind seeing Wade come back, provided Ralph could thaw that relationship with money.

Mr. WEO Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 There is no evidence supporting the return of Gailey as OC. The rigors of being HC are not what are causing him to call games as poorly as he does on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBUffalo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 You can't be fired from the head coaching position then stick around to take a lesser job, that just doesn't happen in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas!!! That's not even a dream, more of a ridiculous fantasy. Just one question though, Chan Gailey as OC. He more or less is now, at least he calls the plays, so why would you want him. The offensive play calling has been putrid all year. We also had Dick Lebeau here not that long ago as an assistant, they didn't even make him the DC.

Merry Christmas!!! Who is the QB? If Chan runs that offense with Fitz as the QB, we are not going anywhere even if the defense improves. Chan and Fitz must go.

boyst Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 How about Cuts: Kelsay Barnett All the QBs FA: Michael Johnson DE Williams Moore SS Brent Grimes CB Jake Long T Denario Alexander WR Delanie Walker TE Trade: Jon Beason LB Alex Smith QB Kirk Cousins QB Draft: Teo LB Nassib QB Lattimore RB Long, don't want to kick those tires at all. They are about to fall off. I am happy with our line and the direction it is going and would not want to risk pulling Langston Walker. Beason I have mixed emotions about. I do not think he's headed in the direction we want to go in. T'eo - something about me just doesn't sit right. It reminds me of Aaron Curry. Everyone loves the guy, he's very good, but he's on a team that is not normally identified for defense, and something just isn't right. I do not know much about Lattimore, but I am glad to see people believe adding an RB to this team is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas!!! I would love to see the 'chin" coaching the Buffalo Bills next year. Let Cowher decide who he wants as GM, DC, director of scouting. Nix, Gailey & wannstooge- Boss hog crap, cooter, booger all gotta go. Edited December 26, 2012 by FeartheLosing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Whaley - GM Bill Cowher - HC Chan Gailey - OC Dick LaBeau - DC Nix - Director of College Scouting I could live with that but it'll never happen. Merry Christmas!!! As you noted, it's a dream. In reality, most people unwilling to accept a demotion within the same organization. Even if they are, it is problematic for numerous reasons which can be summarized as "organizational psychology" So I would have to say those aspects of your dream are undesireable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
