BillsNYC Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I asked Mort via Twitter if the Bills turned him down: mortreport @MattKabel He definitely did not turn down Bills. He wasn't offered. And league rules wouldn't allow that to happen but they wanted HC experience

And league rules wouldn't allow that to happen but they wanted HC experience He may not have turned them down, but I think there's the possibility that something happened sunday night that made the Bills go with Gailey. Maybe there was some indication that Frazier was having second thoughts about taking the job if offered. The sheer quickness of going with Gailey is just too weird after hearing how much Frazier blew them away in the interview. I get the feeling that this isn't so cut and dry with them choosing Gailey over Frazier.

PromoTheRobot Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 And yet the majority of posters hated the idea of Frazier as HC. What did we call him? The offensive version of Dick Jauron?So is this good or bad news? PTR

PTR Last week it was good news but now that we've hired someone else it's bad news because Frazier is suddenly a future HOF head coach.

Thanks God they did the same when they extended Dick since he was such a hot commodity.

Well before the media starts calling the Bills racists, this matter of whether Frazier wanted the job hopefully will be cleared up. ...and if he did "shy" away from the only head coaching job ever offered to him at his age than he's truly a moron. I'm so glad he's not going to be our coach.
thewildrabbit Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 It was stated earlier in the week that the Bills were looking to an offensive mind rather then going defense again. The only winning record this franchise has had in almost 10 years was with Mike Mularkey at 9-7, Wade went 8-8 in 2000. I have no idea why Nix didn't even interview Brian Billick or Steve Marriucci, then again perhaps he did inquire about them and was rejected. It seems that the Bills searching process was kept on the down low after Brian Schottenheimer turn them down. Who really knows how far down the list Chan Gailey was... The Bills front office will blow more smoke about Gailey being "their guy" all along

Bflojohn Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 The talks with Cowher produced this according to some, he (Cowher) was singing the praises of Chan Gailey and when it became apparent that he was staying at CBS, the Bills, supposedly, turned their attention to Chan Gailey exclusively! Well, they got their man, so let's see who he hires to run the offnese and defense, going forward?!?!

The Bills front office will blow more smoke about Gailey being "their guy" all along So, they wanted an offensive minded coach, because Mike Mularkey (offensive) went a game over .500, while the last defensive coach, Wade Phillips, went a mere .500? Jeez... this club is unbelievably screwed up... I would have much preferred either Frazier or Fewell to this...but, we shall see. Sometimes, more of the same, morphs into something better...we hope.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Whe ndid the Bills ever state they wanted Fraizer? Everyone in the media was stating that. The Bills didn't say they didn't want him, so then was just assumed they did.

Explain to me how Steve Marriucci is an upgrade from Chan Gailey??? PTR
PromoTheRobot Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Waiting for Frazier meant possibly waiting 3 weeks for him. You are really taking a huge gamble is he decides he doesn't want the job. PTR
dgrid Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Waiting for Frazier meant possibly waiting 3 weeks for him. You are really taking a huge gamble is he decides he doesn't want the job. PTR no, he could have been hired after the NFC Champnship game
