nick in* england Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Good for Alex. Fingers crossed he gets it. Shame for the Bills to lose him.
JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 why would alex leave the bills? isnt he our qb coach?
OnTheRocks Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 why would alex leave the bills? isnt he our qb coach? Though someone else — Miami's Jason Garrett or possibly Buffalo's offensive quality control coach Alex Van Pelt
JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 why would alex leave the bills? isnt he our qb coach? whoops he is our offensive quality coach,but i stil think he would stay here.i am sure that since he spent his career here he would like to move up the bills coaching staff tree.

A) It's a promotion B) Sometimes you have to leave the environment that you're comfortable in order to truly flourish.

silvermike Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 You gotta figure that it's 50-50 Gilbride will be fired within 10 games. Then Alex could step up...
Arkady Renko Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I guess it's too bad we don't know which coach was most responsible for Losman's growth this season.
marauderswr80 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 yeah I say good for Alex....I wish him the best!
X. Benedict Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Good luck, Alex. Gilbride - holy moses, how is he still in the league?
Rubes Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I guess it's too bad we don't know which coach was most responsible for Losman's growth this season. True, but I'd be willing to bet that Fairchild and Schonert had more to do with it than Alex.
Buftex Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 You gotta figure that it's 50-50 Gilbride will be fired within 10 games. Then Alex could step up... As much as we all laugh at Gilbride, he has overseen some fairly prolific offenses in the last 20 years...lets face it, cooridinators are the easiest to scapegoat. You can't fire all the players (even if they all suck, salary cap ramifications) and a coach will usually throw an assistant under the bus, to save his own job. Not saying Gilbride is the best, but like Dan Henning before him, his success was at least, in part, affected by what he had to work with. Gilbride and Couglin did pretty well together in Jacksonville, and whatever we think, QB's seem to love playing in Gilbrides' offense.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 True, but I'd be willing to bet that Fairchild and Schonert had more to do with it than Alex. Agree. Quality control coaches only break down film, from what I've read. AVP might have helped JP on the side, but I doubt it was part of his job. btw, if you're AVP, you've got to leave for that job--QB Coach is the next big step up the coaching ladder.
eball Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Gilbride - holy moses, how is he still in the league? I ask myself that same question EVERY time I read or hear his name.
JimBob2232 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 This is how you succeed in many jobs. Just keep moving around, proving your worth every step of the way. At some point, someone likes you enough to bring you in for a promotion. Keep lateraling around.... eventually you wind up on top.
