PromoTheRobot Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Gotta think Nix will go, too, seeing as how he went on record saying he wanted continuity with Gailey. Can't imagine he'd throw him under the bus just to stay on. People say stuff all the time. PTR
Acantha Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Yes. I don't think Nix is being fired though. I hope that's the way it works out.
5 Wide Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Does this imply Wannstedt also? I feel his job on defense was the worst part of the team this past year. He also does not have the "good guy" image that Gailey has, so even though I feel that Gailey tried hard and deserves to be treated with respect, I have less of those feelings in regard to Wannstedt. Yes, Wanny would likely be gone too.... New HC usually brings his own guys
MDH Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 So the rebuilding begins. So the re-re-re-re-re building begins. I'm not sure how many times it's going to take until the building is actually built.
GaryPinC Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Thanks for your efforts Chan. I liked you a lot more in the 2010 and most of the 2011 season. Somewhere along the way you turned into a Dick Jauron-style decision maker. Got to take chances and do your own thing. You also needed to kick Wannstedt in the ass instead of leaving him alone on his island. That's what a head coach would have done.
South Jersey Bills Fan Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Yes, Wanny would likely be gone too.... New HC usually brings his own guys unless (GULP) he IS the next head coach (I already bit my tongue)
26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 @JaySkurski Chan Gailey will address the media at 11:30.
Pittsburgh Flutie Flakes Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Does this imply Wannstedt also? I feel his job on defense was the worst part of the team this past year. He also does not have the "good guy" image that Gailey has, so even though I feel that Gailey tried hard and deserves to be treated with respect, I have less of those feelings in regard to Wannstedt. I actually think Dave Wannstedt is a person with a lot of character. He just didn't get the job done from a coaching perspective. With a head coach leaving, assistants will be gone as well.
KeisterHollow Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 That, at least, makes this season bearable! However, there are apparently LOTS of H.C.'s being fired - Bears, Carolina, K.C., Philly, S.D., Cleveland, and Buffalo. There could be more. So, which teams are more desirable for potential coaches? Certainly S.D., Chicago, Philly, and Carolina. K.C. and Cleveland are about on par with us. I'd guess Gruden to Philly, and Cowher to Carolina. I don't know how extensive the list is of H.C.'s who we would WANT to have, but I'm going to begin making one.
Acantha Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The Bills need to move fast on whatever's happening. So many coach firings means everyone is going to be fighting over a few names. We're already behind the 8 ball as far as luring coaches.
TAinLack. Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 unless (GULP) he IS the next head coach (I already bit my tongue) heaven help us!!!!
CodeMonkey Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) I just got the text from the Bills. Gailey fired. Edited December 31, 2012 by CodeMonkey
voodoo poonani Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 whew! i wouldn't have been surprised if they had kept him for continuity, but man I am glad he's gone.
bisonbrigade Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 My short list for the new HC, John Gruden, Andy Reid, Jay Gruden and Lovie Smith.
Patience Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 As expected. Nix is meeting with Bills' officials as we speak.
NoName Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Honestly!! As unrealistic as this sounds, I wish he could be retained as the O.C. I think he could do well in that capacity under the direction of the right head coach. Chan is not a head coach he is a coordinator. Well, I hope Nix is safe.
SDS Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 “The age-old thing – and they’ve done it around here for years – is to start over about every three years,” Nix said. “What that does is make damn sure you don’t make it. ... You change every three years and you never quite get there. That’s my take.” That doesn't sound like a man with a future in the organization.
Malazan Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Ralph is cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dorkington Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Again. Yet, the roster doesn't need as much of an overhaul as in the past. Just better direction and play calling. If the roster was any good, we would have won more games with the schedule we had.
