So, unless something goes terribly awry at the last minute — and you never can tell when Ralph Wilson is gearing up for another public pronouncement — it looks as if Chan Gailey is poised to become the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
Really? Chan Gailey. It's an uninspiring pick, and if my math is correct, about their eighth choice. But after seeing the Bills snubbed by football coaches from sea to shining sea, it's a relief to know the search might finally come to an end, before the organization can embarrass itself further.
Gailey does fit their presumed criteria. He has been a head coach, albeit with modest success, with the Dallas Cowboys and Georgia Tech. He has been an offensive coordinator with the Steelers, Dolphins, Chiefs and Cowboys, where he had the dual role of head coach/coordinator in his two seasons.
No doubt, that will allow the Bills to claim that Gailey was their guy all along, the ideal man for the job. Never mind that they were rebuffed by no less than three NFL coordinators who have never been head coaches at any level.
