Chan Gailey is the most overrated coach (by some fans) in Buffalo Bills history.

 

The BIGGEST myth is that his offense "moved the ball" and "scored points" more than Hackett's.

 

In truth, the numbers are almost identical. Even worse for the legend of Chan Gailey is that he had "his guy." He had his "franchise QB", while Hackett had to cobble together a QB group of Manuel, who got hurt 3 times, Tuel, who was a UDFA rookie, and Thad Lewis.

 

2012 (Gailey with his "franchise QB")

 

5,486 yards

344 total points (21.5 PPG)

offense ranked 21/32 in PPG

 

3,269 pass yards

2,217 rush yards

34 turnovers

 

2013 (Hackett with a constantly changing QB lineup featuring 2 rookies and Thad Lewis)

 

5,410 yards

339 points scored (21.2 PPG)

offense ranked 22/32 in PPG

 

3,103 pass yards

2,307 rush yards

27 turnovers

 

 

***************************************************************

 

Let's end this "legend of Chan" crap. His offense did not do anything special, as evidenced by the fact that it was no better than Hackett did with a constantly changing group of QBs.

 

"But fun! but fun! Gailey and Fitzy were SO EXCITING to watch! The offense was GREAT!"

 

Nope. Sorry, you just remember the off game or two when they did well. The bulk of Chan's games here were bottom 1/3 type offensive performances. And that was with the guy HE WANTED and did everything in his power to protect from any competition.

 

Teams beat New England*. Miami just did it two weeks ago, and it wasn't by 3 points on a day where Brady threw 4 picks and the refs forgot who to favor.

Chan was better at one thing, and that's utilizing CJ, that's about it. If he could come in as a "screen designer" or "guy who tells Hackett to not power run CJ up the gut" guy, I'd support it. The rest is different scheming, but as above shows, mostly the same.
