Just talked with a source within the NFL and he told me that he doesn't think Gailey keeps his job following the season and has heard that the Bills are high on Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson.

Sounds like BS. Who's high on Tyler Wilson? Gailey? Or the next football coach? If Gailey is let go, probably so will Nix. Many of the scouts and most of the coaches will be donzo. Yet, their "high" on Wilson? Yawn.
Impossible is Nothing.
I don't think Buddy will be fired if he has the balls to fire Gailey.

Obviously you trust him/her quite a bit to post this, how connected would you consider this source T-long?
On a separate note, Wilson is projected to go in the mid-first round. Right around where we should be picking.
That's interesting. If true, it's a bit surprising actually. I don't expect Nix is on a hotseat, but I really didn't think Gailey was either.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
This is a very trusted source....I don't have many these days now that I have 3 kids and barely have time to go to the bathroom myself. But I 100% trust this guy...he is very well connected, especially with the Bills.
He is under the impression that Nix stays but Gailey will go barring a 4-1 or 5-0 finish. Ralph trusts Nix but also knows how bad for business keeping Gailey will be.
I personally thought both would be back, but I guess we will wait and see.

Can't comment on the Gailey thing, but...Wilson is a VERY highly though of QB prospect among NFL eval guys, fans have him under rated. No doubt Bills are interested, expect him to be a Bills visitor at OBD without a doubt.
COMING SOON...

I hope he's right. Getting a new coach and a new QB are two biggest steps in turning the ship around.

For short term gain, even possibly going to the playoff next year, you keep Gailey. For long term bigger things, you get a new HC.
Fitz, regardless what Gailey and Nix said this past week, is certainly on the list to be upgraded. I don't know why fans/wgr hosts are so up in arms about having to hear Gailey/Nix to make any statement about Fitz NOW. If you are people management business, and just cannot act like a fan and throw emotion left and right.
If I'm Nix, I'd have to line up candidates before I fire Gailey. And I'd prefer minimum philosophical changes both offensively or defensively.

I still don't believe you reach for a QB. Just remember picking a wrong guy is worse than not picking one.
I really believe Nix went the safe route not picking a development QB, and I believe it's about to change this time around. But if there is a almost sure fire MLB in the 1st round that can transform this defense into a stingy, top 5 one, you have to go this route.

At this point, whatever.
Bye Bye Brady...
T-Long I trust what you say. You are one of the few I actually do.
Makes a ton of sense in my book. I can't see how the Bills will keep Gailey after this season.
The interesting thing will be who is the next coach?
I really like Tyler Wilson a lot, I think the Arkansas situation was just a mess this year. They were a top 10 team going in. The I'd can throw the rock no doubt and I luv his attitude..... Sort of Cutler like....
GO Gators!!!!!!
GO GATORS!!

I was just about to post just about everything you've said. I've know T-Long a long time and while he's no Pat Moran (j/k), I've never known him to post BS and it all does make sense. Nix has a team that can win, but there's two major flaws, QB and coach. Retaining Gailey would kill a lot of fan support and it goes the same for Fitz.
I've been high on Tyler Wilson since the season started, he's big, tough and has a strong arm, he has the physical tools and his faults can be corrected with coaching and patience. Some rankings have him ahead of Barkley and just behind Smith. He will not last to the 2nd round and while a stud LB sounds good, this team needs a QB that can put points on the board, a top 5 or 10 defense doesn't do any good if you can't score, look at Arizona. This is not the 80's you need an offense to win.

I think Gailey does keep his job as long as Nix keeps his, and I've heard they really like E.J. Manuel of Florida St. I'm not certain that they draft a QB earlier than the 2nd round though. It depends strongly on who they have graded highest regardless of position on their draft board when they pick in the first round. They have been pretty consistent in that respect since Nix took over as GM. JMO
This more than anything screams of being true.
Ralph doesn't approach things in terms of what is good for the football organization.
He also historically only does just enough to keep the horde buying tickets.
and we lap it up... year after year. Just look at this thread. Some are already wondering about our next coach and what QB were going to draft.
Until Bills fans smarten up... we'll get the team we deserve.
