Chuckknox Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 His running back coach is not a Offensive coordinator. They should start looking for on (not named Alex Van Pelt). How about Jim kelly?
The Senator Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) Don't know that he would be interested (he's said repeatedly that he's not), but Jim certainly knew how to run an effective offense. So does... Mike Leach Edited September 19, 2010 by The Senator
eSJayDee Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 What's an OC gonna do other than call plays outta Chan's playbook? Granted, having an extra coach might lighten the workload on the existing coaches, but so what? I'm not too optimistic that being able to devote MORE time to preparation is gonna solve anything. I'll concede that our offense looks more "innovative" than what we've seen over the last few yrs, but its appears equally or perhaps even more inept. To what extent it's personnel &/or scheme IDK. I don't know that if you FREQUENTLY fail to make effective blocks on multiple defenders, it makes it very difficult to be productive.

I don't know that if you FREQUENTLY fail to make effective blocks on multiple defenders, it makes it very difficult to be productive. I know that our players are making errors, but at what point do we not say "hey, who's coaching these guys to play like this?" I think Chan has been far too permissive with Trent and he is simply an enabler; allowing TE to be the passive, scared QB we all know he is. Coaching needs to answer for the way the last two games have gone as much as the players. Check-downs and ball-less play calling go hand-in-hand. Edited September 19, 2010 by VanCity
BillsVet Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Chan is an offensive genius who was kind enough to enlist an understudy like Curtis Modkins. Then again, Belichick doesn't have an OC or DC. Does that make Chan half as good as BB?
thewildrabbit Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 The ONLY way a new OC is going to help this team is ...if he can block as RT or LT This team needs two tackles, granted the left tackle isn't as bad as the right, but both stink and wouldn't start on any other team in the NFL
The Senator Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) They said he was an offensive guru? Georgia Tech 1999 Offense (pre-Gailey) - #1 in the nation Georgia Tech 2002 Offense (Chan's 1st year) - 57th in the nation Georgia Tech 2003 Offense (Chan's 2nd year) - 94th in the nation A guru, or just offensive??? Discuss... "Damn it all to hell!!! I thought running it on 3rd & 20 would work!!!!" Edited September 19, 2010 by The Senator

If Chan really was an offensive genius, then why was he fired last season as OC and wasn't rehired until the Bills offered him a job. will you still call this guy a genius after the Bills lose another 10 games? Belichick does have both an OC and DC, trust me as good as he is, he isn't calling both offensive and defensive plays, he just didn't give them titles because other teams keep stealing his coordinators

CodeMonkey Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Wow it sure did not take long from "Chan Gailey is a proven winner and offensive genius" to this thread and others like it.

Buffalo Billy Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Ya Senator, Chan should have talked those players from the '99 team out of graduating or moving onto the NFL.
Dr. Fong Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I'm really tired of the Buffalo Bills' nickel and dime approach to the NFL.
bonechiller Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Gailey needs some time! He cant get everything right coming out of the gate. He will find out what works....eventually. Besides he wasnt given a heck of a lot to work with. One draft and an unwillingness to sign free agents! Edited September 20, 2010 by bonechiller
The Senator Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Ya Senator, Chan should have talked those players from the '99 team out of graduating or moving onto the NFL. A lot of people go to college for seven years... link (Get your abacus out and subtract 57 from 94 - that's how far Chan's offense dropped in 1 year)
lets_go_bills Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Gailey has nothing to work with. How do you call a game when your QB sucks, you OL sucks and your receiving corps sucks? No play will ever work when there's no blocking. It's up to the players to execute.
