Lori Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=73757 "I just wanted to make sure I was clear that he (Nix) had not called," Billick said. "Why he had not called a coach with a Super Bowl ring, 10 wins a year for nine years, having orchestrated the highest-scoring offense and defense in the history of the league, is a question worth asking. But I never spoke with Mr. Nix." Someone's feelings are bent. But considering that Billick himself seemed to be the only one tying his name to the job, can't say this news shocks me. My reaction? *shrug* Apparently nobody else is calling him, either, despite the ring on his finger. Guessing there might be a reason for that.

You would think someone with his accomplishments would be sought after... but he is not. Because people who actually have followed what he has done and his role in that success - see him for what he is. A guy who lasted 7 years longer than he should have because he could talk his way out of an Al Qaeda prison camp.
Endzone Animal Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Why call anyone else when an absolute stud like Chan Gailey was somehow still available?
May Day 10 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 he has too strong of a personality for the jokers running this circus.
blzrul Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I think Ralph's a big fan of the movie "Major League". You know, the one where the owner wants to move the team out of Cleveland to a good city, so she makes sure she has bad players and a crummy manager, so the city of Cleveland will get sick of them and the league allow the move? Because it certainly seems like that's the path he's following.

Billick and him would never have been on the same page, IMO.
CountDorkula Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Why call anyone else when an absolute stud like Chan Gailey was somehow still available? he has too strong of a personality for the jokers running this circus. If you didnt know he has not gotten a call for the last 2 years from ANY team. There were 11 coaching vacancies last year and a few this year. It was not "just the Bills" not calling him. It was every team. That should tell you something about this guy.
May Day 10 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Why not interview these guys????!!!!! Is Chan Gailey going anywhere?
WVUFootball29 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The Kyle Boller Experiment is what was the nail in the coffin for Billick.
papazoid Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 tell billick to call chicago.... bears can't fill either coordinator jobs: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/1999979,CST...issey20.article

prissythecat Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Why not interview these guys????!!!!! Is Chan Gailey going anywhere? You only interview folks if you are seriously interested in them.... As folks have already said, there is a reason why Billick has not been contacted by anyone.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Why call anyone else when an absolute stud like Chan Gailey was somehow still available? Worst HC job in the NFL and he gets no interest? That's gotta sting. PTR
Endzone Animal Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 If you didnt know he has not gotten a call for the last 2 years from ANY team. Even better, the Bills were the first NFL team in 11 years to call on Gailey. You know what they say...washed up coaches, like fine wines, only get better with age.

May Day 10 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Has he not been contacted by anyone? Has he been offered coordinator positions and turned them down?
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Not surprising. He simply doesn't have the sort of personality and reputation that Wilson would want coaching his team. He isn't the relatively low key ego like a Marv, Wade, Dick, or Chan.

Because it certainly seems like that's the path he's following. I can't believe I'm actually arguing this, but in Major League, the owner wanted to get below a certain number in ticket sales to trigger an out clause in her lease. If Ralph wanted to move the team, he could have done so at any number of times over the past five decades.
