A tidbit about Catavolos

[patmoran2006]

Don't be shocked to see Chan Gailey retain/promote "former" Bills secondary coach George Catavolos to his defensive coordinator.

He's been a terrific secondary coach for Buffalo the past two years and especially in 2009.

Having said that, this is the Buffalo Bills we're talking about and EVERY move they ever make has a business influence on it. As a first time coordinator he'd come with less of a price tag.

And it would also probably mean the retention of the same defense he learned under Fewell; which would most likely mean significant less defensive roster manuevering would be needed.

My thinking all along was he would join Fewell on the NYG staff

I see him being retained but not as DC. I think they want someone with experience since Chan is an offensive guy. And I think they want a guy that can bring a creative, aggressive defense with more size.

I don't see this happening.

You know how at the State of the Union speeches, they pick one cabinet secretary to not go, in case there's a catastrophic attack and the whole government dies?

That's how the Bills work. The football equivalent of the Secretary of Agriculture becoming president.

Re: A tidbit about Cantovalos

Only thing confirmed right now is that Herm Edwards will not be the defensive coordinator.

BTW, I don't even remember who said he would be?

Exactly! I don't see this happening. We just hired a veteran coach that will be running the offense. There's no way he would want to have a rookie as his defensive coordinator. Also, each time I listened to him...Gailey sounds like he wants to do some kind of 4-3/3-4 defense. I can't see a first timer coming up with something like that. But I definitely see Catavolos getting retained, as long as he wants to stay.

Re: A tidbit about Cantovalos

Na, I dont think George will be the DC. It seems clear to me that both Buddy and Chan want to get bigger and more aggressive.

Re: A tidbit about Cantovalos

I didn't say he was.

I said "don't be shocked" thats all.

Just a little Thursday message board chatter?

Now I would not be surprised at if it's Clancy Pendergast. Worked together in both dallas and KC.

so, since it is chatter then it is just your opinion, right? nothing to back it up?
