Should Bills Fire Chan Gailey?
Does he deserve another year. One thing to point, I feel that outside of QB this team can be decent -at least on offense. I like Chan's offensive capacities and I think the game plans are there and mostly executed by everyone but the QB -WR are getting open, Line is top notch, TE is good, RBs are excellent. Defensively the Bills suck. I say get a QB and another DC.
Please Make Sense
He gets the rest of the season to turn it around, but then, time's up.

If this team is 2-6 which they very well could be before facing the easy part of the schedule, yes he should be fired.
Give him the year and he's gonna go 7-9, it's gonna be spun that he's slowly making progress and sold to the fanbase as such.

Chan needs his defensive coordinator to match his production thats all. We don't need to tear this thing apart and rebuild again. If a new owner comes in though, gotta wonder if that is exactly what he does though. New owner wants new GM, new GM wants new HC, new HC wants his own coordinators and QB.
You do realize protecting the football is part of the offense right?Originally Posted by Mahdi
29th in the league in INTs, 24th in the league in Fumbles Lost.
You ain't winning consistently in this league when your offense can't protect the football.

Gailey can't really control the turnover aspect. My point is he has coached this team up to become a potent offensive unit when we literally had nothing before he came.
No!
I don't want Pornstache to take over.
Just give Gailey the rest of the season to see how things unfold.
We're 0-2 in the division (par for the course), but at least we're all deadlocked at 2-2.
There are another 12 games to decide our fate.
A firing this early would be another odd, Brian Moorman type move.
For better or for worse, Yes We Chan (for now).
This.
Chan has certainly made mistakes and I have my doubts about him, but we have to see how this season plays out. Firing a coach mid-season is very disruptive and rarely results in any significant turnaround, and Chan simply hasn't been bad enough to warrant that.
Chan should not be fired.
The reason is that at this point with ownership literally on a day to day basis, no decent head coach is going to come here. So, what the guys in place are doing is just keeping the team in a holding pattern, trying to improve the personnel for the future while knowing they will not be in the team's long term plans. There's no point screwing up another guy's life by firing Gailey & bringing someone else in and any new system. We're going nowhere until there's a new owner, GM, coach & QB.

Absolutely not, the reason why we have been as bad as we have is because there is no continuity. You can not build a franchise when you blow the thing up every 3 years. I honestly feel like we are on the right track this time but its going to take time. I know that Sunday was horrible but let's see how the rest of the season goes. We are a defensive leader away from being able to contend.
You guys are both right
If he goes 8-8 and fires Wanny, I'd sign him to a one year deal.
I have my doubts about Chan.....but I don't think that he is the problem. Our defense is a train-wreck, and we only have one starting caliber WR. I feel that he has done a good job making something out of nothing (Fitz, scrub WR's.....yet our offense still appears competent). If Fitz would stop throwing the ball to the other team, and if our defense actually did anything, we could be good.
Wanny has no business in the NFL with the kind of talent to results ratio he's putting out.
I want a Chuck Knox type of coach to replace Chan who can win games. If Chuck was coaching the 90's Bills, I think they might have won a at least 1 SB. The problem is the Bills always hire soft coaches, Chuck wasn't that, he didn't have the talent around him and Ralph was the reason he didn't succeed and remain the problem today Ralph hiring mentally soft coaches. Chuck was a tough minded coach and he was my favorite Bills coach, sorry Marv. Back to main point, CAN CHAN and his staff!
Let's Go Bills, make it happen!!!
The main reason we've been bad is we've had a bad roster. Amos Alonzo Lombardi Walsh couldn't have won with our group. We've upgraded the talent to mediocre, sort of like Gailey.
Sure he can. He can start by limiting Fitz to 20 passes per game.
Let's be clear. Most of those stats you quoted came against two doormats and during garbage time in Game 1.My point is he has coached this team up to become a potent offensive unit when we literally had nothing before he came.
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

The problem with this question is: Who are we getting to replace Chan?
If we're going to get someone who is significantly better, then yes, I have no issues firing him yesterday. But, if we're gonna get a coach just because he comes cheap, or because Ralph recognizes his name on a list, what does firing Chan really accomplish?
Look at it this way: I'd about bet at least 95% of Bills fans were thrilled when Dick Jauron got fired. But, I'd also bet that most people were saying to themselves "ANYONE is better than Jauron."
Well, Jauron was 24-33. That's a .421 winning percentage. Gailey is currently 12-24 for a .333 winning percentage. So, did we reallly upgrade our coaching situation when we hired Gailey? I have to say we haven't... So, do we really want to get rid of Gailey under the "ANYONE is better than Gailey" philosophy...?

You don't just have continuity for the sake of continuity. By your logic we gave up on Gregg and Dick too quickly.
Chan Gailey and his staff are an outright disaster and the results on the field show it.
