All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Please help with some info... What is Chan Gailey's contract duration with teh Bills? I've searched on and off for 6 months to no avail.
I swear I remeber him signing a 5 year deal. He never appears in any list of lame duck coaches. But many other posters on various boards think it's a 3 year deal.
Anyone else who has 2 cents on this topic... Please provide a link.
Thanks for your research MBJ... But if that link is all there is out there, and Gailey never appears on a list of lame duck HC's, it's still inconclusive in my book.
since this is his third year as the HC, and if his contract was for three years, there would have been alot more talk about whether or not to extend him and going into the season with a lame duck coach. therefore I think there must be at least another year on his contract.

You would think. It's weird how hush hush chan's contract is
it would be so shocking if they gave out more than a 3 year deal. it's not like a player contract. it's guaranteed. So i would think they'd give him the standard length so they can keep refreshing at lower and lower rates.
that's the cynical side of me talking, but from a business standpoint, if you really did go after the big coaches and they all said no, you are settling for a second choice. and if you are settling for a second choice, why would you break the bank for something you know has some warts on it. if it didn't, it would have been your top choice.

I don't think this is cynical- I think it's the reality.
ESPN had an article that's already been posted here several times. It discusses how a losing team can be more profitable than a winning one. With years of going cheap on coaching hires, "cash to cap," and avoiding big long-term contracts, Ralph is clearly concerned about managing expenses. They deviated from the formula a little this year, but Gailey wasn't hired this year.
