I haven't commented on the Chan Gailey hiring yet. I gave it some time to settle in and try and make sense of it. I really think this move is about winning now, Nix knows the Bills fans are not going to be patient, so he brought in a coach that gives us the best chance to win games with our current roster. What does this mean?
Gailey and Nix are going to bring in a QB that can create time and move in the pocket, I think this can only be one of two guys.... Tebow or McNabb.
Gailey has had success with a rollout style passing attack, it will help give us time to finish rebuilding our line, it's an offense that can be put in place with minimal roster moves... basically plug in a QB and bring in one or two more possession type receivers (with Parrish and Owens gone this is a must anyway). Jackson provides a great screen option, I think when healthy we have the TE's to be able to work with this type of play calling.
I think Gailey is young enough and smart enough that he isn't going to be stubborn is his style of football it will grow and adapt with this team, and that's what Nix was looking for. A guy like Billick would probably want to clean house and do things his way, setting us back even further... The Gailey hire, was an attempt to avoid that.
All and all, I am on board. Go get em' Chan.
***Does anyone think that maybe just for a second Ralph Wilson thought he was signing Champ Bailey?****
