Bills Fan in MD Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...bills-wish-list If the Bills PR unit was smart (emphasis on the word "if"), this was intentionally leaked to make Gailey look like the next coming of Lombardi by comparison.

Brand J Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...bills-wish-list This is old news, but had that actually went down, the Bills would have imploded. You don't hire a coach who almost went winless, to lead your team to the promise land. Sporano took that same roster and went 11-5 the following year. If that's not direct proof of coaching (and the Bill Parcells effect), then I don't know what is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 You mean he WAS on the wish list. Maybe his appearance on the wish list is to add more positives to the Gailey hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 If the Bills PR unit was smart (emphasis on the word "if"), this was intentionally leaked to make Gailey look like the next coming of Lombardi by comparison. Gailey and Cameron are the same type of coach in my opinion. Bright offensive coordinators and play callers, but lacking the charisma and leadership qualities to be a HC.

Bright offensive coordinators and play callers, but lacking the charisma and leadership qualities to be a HC. Yes, because all successful head coaches in the NFL ooze charisma. Like Bill Belichick. And Tony Dungy. Look, I have no idea what Chan will do here -- he wasn't a sexy hire or someone I coveted for the job. But the ridiculousness about needing a "charismatic" guy to win needs to stop. And by whom has Chan's leadership been questioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's funny how the more talented players a HC has the more charisma the HC gets. So true. Ask Chuck Noll, or that loquacious scene-stealer, Tom Landry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yawn. Another coach from the Schottenheimer tree? Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'll agree that hiring Cam Cameron would have been a marketing disaster! Yea, even worse then Gailey, at least Gailey has won before as a head coach at the NFL level. The Bills fans did implode already this year once they found that Martyball wanted to coach the Bills, but RW wasn't "comfortable" with him, which was a rumor I simply don't believe. As I stated in another post, Marty couldn't get along with A.J.Smith while at SD and A.J. fired him. Nix and A.J. Smith are friends, and Nix worked for him at SD as a scout, so he is familiar with what happened between Marty and A.J. Smith. If anyone was not comfortable with Marty it was Nix. Going back to Cam Cameron, I think the guy is far and away one of the best OC's in the NFL today. He has tutored Drew Brees , Phillip Rivers, Trent Green and Joe Flacco, so he knows how to develop a QB no question. Nix and Gailey's hire will be defined by the coordinators and assistant coaches they bring in, and schemes they will run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright offensive coordinators and play callers, but lacking the charisma and leadership qualities to be a HC. Yes, but Chan will put his trust in Jesus and that will save us. Personally I don't think Jesus gives a rats a$$ about football, to save this team I'd prefer a stout O line and D line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
