If Williams and Gilbride do get fired

[Rude American]

will they ever work in the NFL again, or are their careers doomed?

[Jan Reimers]

They may work in the NFL again - as ticket takers, ushers, or locker room attendants.

PLEASE don't say "IF".

GW will not have a problem finding a DC job. I wouldn't mind having him as a DC. I know some guys just want him gone , period. I on the other hand want what's best for this team and GW is a good DC. HC is just too much for him.

[timfromjersey]

I don't think firing a head coach and then making him a DC is ever gonna happen. Won't work, the coach is damaged goods. Egos are involved, player's respect are an issue, an the fan's like myself, freakin hate him.

Query: Has this ever occured in the History of the NFL and was it succesful?

Personally, I'd like to see him and Gilbride run out of town on a rail.

Both guys will eventually have NFL jobs again. Regardless of "work product" they do have "experience," so that will go in their favor. We won't have to worry about these guys collecting unemployment.

Gray needs to figure out some schemes to force sacks and turnovers!!!!

[Dozerdog]

Williams will go back to being a DC somewhere- maybe even the titans if their staff gets plundered if they go far in the playoffs. Gillbride is done as an OC- if he wants to stay in the NFL it will be as a QB coach or something. I can see him as a head coach in the NCAA at one of those smaller Div 1 programs out west that might still use the run & shoot-

[Earthquake Enyart]

I think both will end up HC in college football. GW at some sorry program like Kansas, and Gilbride at some Texas or California school.

I think we all need to get something straight about GW. His contract is up this year. The Bills don't need to fire him at the end of the season. KG does have a contract next season.

[Throne Logic]

GW will have a DC job somewhere.

Gilbride will also find work, unfortunately, 'cuz he's one of those golden boys who can't seem to do wrong enough for some people. Why TD allowed him to come to Buffalo was beyond me when it happened and really beyond me now.

We know that. When we say "Fire GW," we mean, like yesterday. That won't happen before the end of the season. Letting GW finish the season allows him to save face a bit. By not extending his contract, or offering a new one, it is tantamount to "firing" him.

Tom Donahoe should be forced to leave too, for bringing those morons in. That was really poor decision making.

Those scemes are known as DEs. Lebeu was bought in for just that purpose and he "Invented" the zone blitz. If we had End rush the Blitz Schemes would work, and opposing QB's would be forced into interceptions and fumbles. ACC

[juice]

Gray has built a top three defense, could be #1 if our line rush could get some pressure on so the DBs can get Int. I'd keep him no matter what happens.

[caveboy]

Rude pray tell, I think their lives in professional sports would in fact be over, forcing them to return to academia, or perhaps their research work in the private sector in hopes of discovering a cure for cancer. Or perhaps they may return to coaching Pop Warner.

Someone will be desperate enough to use them. Heck, look at how RJ has latched onto the Raiders after all his failures.
