Josh Allen: Assistant Offensive Coordinator?

Recommended Posts

Anyone remember in 2009 when Dick Jauron, under renowned football mind and general manager Russ Brandon, decided to celebrate the 50th year of the Bills' existence by asking Trent Edwards to run a no-huddle offense? This happened. Alex Van Pelt was the offensive coordinator, and everyone was just kind of like "Hey, remember when the Bills were good? They ran a no-huddle! Perhaps we should run a no-huddle THIS year! It can't fail!"

It was a big deal. Articles were written. Predictions of a return to glory -- behind players like the newly signed Terrell Owens and second year breakout candidate James Hardy (RIP) and speedy tight end Sean Nelson -- were made. This all happened. I swear it wasn't just a fever dream. Here, let me find proof...

Do mean A-Gun?   

 

Nope. The K-Gun was named for tight end Keith McKeller. So the new "Gun" name would be for Dawson or Dalton. It could be both, which would make it the DD-Gun. And I think many would agree, double-D is better than D.

Everything I can find says the K Gun was named for Jim Kelly.

Yes it happened - a monumentally stupid coaching decision to plan for a no huddle offense with the personnel at hand. To this day, I haven't understood what Jauron saw in the players you think this would work. It failed, miserably

You have ONE blog article citing the K-Gun being other than Jim Kelly. You'll need more than that to convince me.

 

Whether you're convinced or not, it is considered an historical fact that the K was indeed in reference to Keith McKeller.
