Re: 5 reasons why the Bills wont fire Gailey
I don't understand the Houston Texans point. Aren't you comparing the Bills favorably to the Houston Texans situation? With how you worded that parragraph I get that you are endorsing Chan's work on offense and that he only needs a competent playcaller on defense.

Yeah....I strongly disagree with this.

The only reason Chan has job security is that Ralph and Buddy are asleep at the wheel.
Re: 5 reasons why the Bills wont fire Gailey
Okay, the whole Wannstedt scape goat thing is an over-exaggeration. The problem with the Bills defense is not the defensive coordinator. We have the wrong player personnel to run a Wannstedt defense properly. Since Gailey took over as head coach, this team has struggled to figure out what type of defense it wants to run. So the player personnel has become a reflection of that. That's why it's a mess. Gailey's head coaching focus on offense only strategy is why this team is failing. JMO

I'm still reminded of this quote from Vic Carucci about the coaching search of 2009:
"This is his (Wilson's) last coach and (he) is going to do everything it takes to get it right," the insider told Carucci.
He got it so wrong that he's going to outlive his choice.

What he's saying is that these are the reasons he hears for keeping Gailey, not that he agrees with them.

Good. They're all awful reasons and that's the point of the article.

These are just excuses as to why they wont fire him. They can use the Texans as a way of saying "See what happens when you are patient and you dont fire coaches?"
Bills podcast and Sunday's staff predictions
http://www.buffalowins.com/buffalo-b...ills-pats.html
Joe: 52-21, Pats: The 2nd time around against the Pats normally means a blow out. The Bills have lost by an average of 22 points when they meet the Pats the 2nd time. The secondary -which has been a disaster- is now battling injuries. Leodis McKelvin as your 2nd corner? Shoot me. In their last 3 meetings, the Pats have had a WR or a RB go over 100 yards eight times.
Re: Bills podcast and Sunday's staff predictions
21 points is pretty generous.
Re: 5 reasons why the Bills wont fire Gailey
When the team is something like 4-18 within the division during Gaileys tenure, saying "Stay the course" sinks like a stone.
How ****ty the Bills are against the Pats
http://www.buffalowins.com/buffalo-b...s-goliath.html
Indeed, I couldn't escape the feeling that the Patriots seem to let the Bills hang around in the first game of the season (and sometimes, the Bills may even win! Gasp!), but in the second matchup the gloves are off and we're gonna get stomped.
My ****ty Bills/Pats recap
http://www.buffalowins.com/buffalo-b...cap-37-31.html
"I had given up on this stupid team going into this game and was expecting a blowout. Yet, they gave a valiant effort. To channel Whitney Houston, I really wanted to believe for one stupid moment in time that they were going to score on the last drive. I actually had the audacity to believe in them. Silly me.
The Pats are just better. Great teams like them always find ways to win while losing teams like the Bills find ways to lose (See: Penalties, throwing too much, turnovers, dropping interceptions and defense sucks). It is as simple as that. I just wish it was simple for me to get over losses like these. You'd think after so many heart-breakers, it would be."

Re: 5 reasons why the Bills wont fire Gailey
Except the Bills won't replace him with any decent coach, except other retreads or bad coordinators.

When you drop eleventy billion dollars and multiple Top 10 picks on your defense then you build your scheme around them. That's the difference between good coaches and bad coaches. Good coaches recognize what their players can do and adapt to them. Bad ones try to force square pegs through round holes and complain they don't have the right talent when it fails.

You give Chump Gailey too much credit. His divisional record is 2-13 with one win over New England last year and one win over Miami the previous season. He's 0-5 against the Jets.

You never know what you're getting unless the guy is a proven winner like when Bill Parcells & our own Chuck Knox would jump from team to team, never getting fired but leaving for greener pastures. With a retread you can luck out & get a Marv Levy or you can get Romeo Crennel who looks like he's 1 & done in KC. With an assistant, you can get a Mike Sherman or you can get a Jim Ringo, Kay Stephenson or Hank Bullough.
If the coach has had 3 years & wins 33% of his games, you have to take a shot that you can get the next Levy or Sherman because if you keep the status quo and keep winning 33% of your games, it's not significantly better than what a Crennel or Bullough would get you-and if you end up with a Crennel or Bullough, at least he'll get you a high enough pick to help turn the team around when you fire him. Gailey doesn't win enough to be a credible head coach, but he wins just enough to be both bad & screw up your draft.
