Nix may stick....which means Whaley may bolt elsewhere instead.

Assume nothing about Nix for the time being. One being gone means nothing about the other at this point.

Just a little mistake.

Oh, and picking Chan as the Head Coach.

Yup, Nix is the best 16-32 GM in NFL history.

Well, Chan was the best option Nix had with that crappy team he took over. NO GOOD Coach wanted to come to Buffalo with the roster that was in place.

Will not get excited until we see who is the next coach. Too many inferior coaches have been hired by the Bills recently.

I'd be thinking that Russ will be going after a few marquee guys and that if they want complete control Nix may be out at that point.

My thought is that Nix isn't the power hungry control freak that would scare away a big name HC.

Time will tell

I agree... he definitely has botched the QB thing, but I remember three years ago well. We were at that alter for a while without a bride.

we're so irrelevant that USAToday has an article on every teams firing so far, but the Bills. Lovie Smith and Reid got headlines.

There is a lot of coaching vacancies. Buyers market. Of course this always happens when we need a coach.

Same as QB - Bad draft class and weak FA class

Casserly thinks the firing was a mistake...need continuity.

McGinnis - team has talented players, he didn't like the hire to begin with.

Re: Fitzpatrick...Casserly says draft one, Vick isn't the answer for Buffalo. McGinnis thinks the team should keep Fitz and work to limit his opportunities to make mistakes.

My thoughts exactly. A GOOD HC will want some say over the roster. I don't think Nix will have a problem with that. Like Bruce Allen, a GOOD GM that works well with GOOD Coaches, Gruden in Tampa & now Shannahan in Washington.

Anyone that saw Vick yesterday knows he is not the answer for anyone.

3 straight years in the AFCE cellar (actually 5), but 3 w/ Chan is continuity.

Gailey will be hired as an OC somewhere and win a SB w/ them now.

Well, the Giants are a team that could use a new OC as well as the Jets.

If Buffalo is actually after guys like Jon Gruden, then I wouldn't expect Nix to be fired yet. The big names like Gruden would want control of personnel too, most likely. So what happens in the FO depends on who they get as coach.

Also, frankly, I would not be too upset with keeping Nix as long as we get a good HC.

Eagle Reid and Bear Lovie Smith and Chan .G are fire. So who next head coach get Fire. Maybe New york Jet Ryan maybe Cowboys head coach Jacksonville or K,C

Are you upset about this? You were one of the biggest supporters of keeping Gailey around and didn't hesitate to express it. Thank god this bum is gone.
