Maddog69 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Him and Gailey careers have intertwined. Bates was his DC when Gailey was Dallas' HC. I thought Campo was his DC in Dallas ?
mrpunchy Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 there was a time not that long ago when this very board was clamoring for Bates. He would be a great hire.

Tipster19 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 I thought Campo was his DC in Dallas ? Oops, I screwed that up! Bates was the DC at Miami in 2000-2001 when Gailey was there as a OC. Man, I hope that I didn't screw that up again, I'm at work and going by memory.
RayFinkle Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I'm expecting Jim Bates to be named the DC. I'm expecting you to be very disappointed.
Lori Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The list in that Wiki cite, as usual, is incorrect. Instead of returning to Cleveland, Bates was indeed with Gailey in Dallas from 1998-99. Not the DC, though -- he was the LB coach, but Gailey promoted him to assistant HC/d-line when he took over.
FightClub Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Him and Gailey careers have intertwined. Bates was his DC when Gailey was Dallas' HC. Don't be so sure: Gailey was on local sports talk radio in Atlanta this afternoon with Dan Reeves. Nice interview between two old football coaches. Anyway, after the interview, one of the hosts (former Georgia QB from the Herschel Walker days Buck Belue) said he had heard a rumor that Gailey was interested in George Edwards as Def. Coordinator. Maybe he's reading ESPN Insider, not sure - maybe he had a legitimate source.
FluffHead Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 anyone know who george edwards is and what system he runs?
Albany,n.y.

He coached a long time before 1991. He was the head coach of San Antonio in the USFL's last season in 1985. " Bates began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Tennessee, in 1968. He later had stops at Southern Mississippi, Villanova, Kansas State, West Virginia and Texas Tech. After working for three seasons in the USFL with the San Antonio Gunslingers (for whom he was the head coach in 1985) and the Arizona Outlaws, Bates returned to the collegiate level at Tennessee in 1989 and then Florida in 1990." http://www.buccaneers.com/news/newsdetail.aspx?newsid=6922
prenzoni Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Don't be so sure: Wasn't Edwards just hired as Florida's DC?
bills_red Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Wasn't Edwards just hired as Florida's DC? yes
FightClub Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Wasn't Edwards just hired as Florida's DC? Yes, but given the recent history of college coaches jumping for better jobs, I wouldn't be surprised if he took an NFL job over college if given the chance. anyone know who george edwards is and what system he runs? I believe the only time he was a DC in the NFL was the Redskins in 2003 (when Spurrier was there). I don't think the defense was very good. I can't recall their style, but it was one of the years that Lavar Arrington was a beast for them
bkc Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I was thinking that last nigth but be dosen't match what nix laid out at his press conf/ if anything nix has stuck to him word
