Bill Cowher on Chan Gailey

[BillsWin]

“Of all the coordinators that I’ve had work for me, Chan Gailey was, if not the best, one of the best, and as resourceful an offensive mind that I’ve been around,” former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher said of Gailey. “Moreover, his teaching skills are second to none.”

Look at ALL the coaches in the league, they have ALL been fired from somebody somewhere at some point.

And who fired Cowher?

Re: Bill Cowher on Chan Gailey

I saw this article earlier and I'm still firmly not on the Chan Gailey bandwagon. His success in the mid-90s with the Steelers is almost offset by his failings or mediocrity at GT and KC.

He had a Dallas team with a significant number of Pro Bowlers (yes I know they were old) and was mediocre and even lost to Jake Plummer in the playoffs.

He may turn out decent and he's probably an upgrade over Jauron, but it's a very uninspired pick and it smells of more mediocrity. There's a reason he's bounced around all over and got fired in KC prior to the season.

Re: Bill Cowher on Chan Gailey

I'd feel better if he was brought in as an OC, but will have to settle for a wait-and-see on how he does as a HC for us.

Re: Bill Cowher on Chan Gailey

Cowher was promoted from the Browns to the Chiefs to the Steelers and then stepped down after winning the super bowl..he was never fired, only promoted..

Re: Bill Cowher on Chan Gailey

And cowher played linebacker and coached special teams, linebackers, and was DC, so his opinion of offensive brillance is suspect...
