Let me say first that I like Gailey as a coach more than I dislike him. What he did in the first seven weeks was now obviously one of the best smoke and mirror tricks in Bills history. He got a decent amount out of marginal talent... at least on offense.
That said, he has not shored up the D at all in two years time (better talent but same results), and he seems to have lost his sway with some on the team during this miserable skid.
I know he's Nix' boy and all, and I wouldn't be pissed if he came back, but can OBD justify giving a coach a third year when he has had an 8 and 9 game losing streak in consecutive seasons? Don't results speak for themselves at that point? Would Ralph step in and spend more of his money to try and upgrade the HC position?
I have to think he won't and that Gailey will be right back at the helm to start the 2012 season. But you know the writers and fans are going to start clamoring for his dismissal loud and clear come 1.2.12 if we finish 5-11. And it would be pretty hard to blame them.
