Is there a real possibility of Gailey getting fired this season? (1 Viewer)

Passing on Vick when all you have is Edwards, Fitzpatrick & Brohm is reason enough

There has been no talk of him getting let go.
GM Buddy Nix is in his first year, and Gailey (with whom he apparently goes back awhile) was his coaching hire. Nix has come out publicly - just this week - and said that if the team didn't have problems, he and Chan wouldn't be here. They are here to do damage control and try to rebuild a team that has been broken for nearly 10 years by the previous regimes.
The Bills bafflingly poor performances cannot be put on Gailey. The Bills suck....they flat-out suck. The players are just not good.
Gailey was outcoached today, and I'm certainly not on the "OMG Gailey is the best coach ever!!!" bandwagon, but the Bills SHOULD give the guy a real chance. And from what I hear, they will do just that, and give him a little time to develop the team.
Maybe if the Bills go 1-15 or 0-16, which is a real possibility, but I'd put the odds of Gailey being let go at less than 10%.

What does that have to do with Chan Gailey?

The answer is no. The Bills couldn't find anybody else to take this job in the offseason. Hard to think anything's any different now.
If Wilson dies, then yeah there's probably a complete housecleaning by whoever takes over the team.

I agree - if Ralph dies, everything changes.Assuming Ralph doesn't die, I'd think Gailey gets at least 2 years. If the Bills don't show serious improvement next year, he might be gone.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that wonder a bit at his decision to not give Spiller a chance. Some people would say that constitutes a really poor coaching decision, especially since he is the type of playmaker who could at least give the fans something to watch if not some wins.

The coaching staff has commented several times that Spiller has been slow to pick up the pass-blocking concepts and has been too impatient when he has the ball.Jackson is the starting RB - and should've been all season, but there was that whole Lynch thing. Spiller is the change-of-pace back, and will be the back of the future.This isn't fantasy football; Spiller is a good back, but he's just not NFL-ready from an "every-down back" standpoint. Jackson is that back. Gailey is bringing Spiller up slowly, and I have no problem with it. This is a lost season anyway.

Truthfully, if you're a Bills fan you WANT this team to go 0-16.
Nothing could be better for the organization.
I'm more concerned about the talent scouts than Gailey's ineffectiveness at this point.
Losing Fewell was a mistake but there's not much that can be done about it now.

The only thing I really blame him for is bringing in a defensive coordinator that insisted on running the 3-4 even though the team doesn't have the personnel for it. Granted, the defense has had a lot of key injuries and just wasn't all that talented to begin with, but giving up 30+ points every game is awful. The defense was actually the #12 ranked overall defense last year and is just getting raped this year. Get a guy in there that will actually design a defense to the strength of a the guys he has now. Great, if he wants to eventually go to the 3-4 and draft talent to get to that point, go that route. But trying to do too much of that in one year has made this an atrocious defense.
Also, the McCargo and Maybin picks are KILLING this team. Watching Orakpo and Matthews crush it every week while knowing that Maybin has a 100% chance of being cut before next season is gut wrenching.

Seriously, I would have thought that if the Bills could score 21, they would have a chance to win, but giving up over 30 every week? Ughhh.And I still blame Modrak for all the picks.

You left out the obligatory Whitner-Ngata reference, but that's okay. I drink to forget that pick too.

I think I'm going to go throwup now.You know, Marshawn Lynch over Darrelle Revis aint looking so good either. Or remember how in 2004 the Bills traded away their 2005 first round pick so that they could move up and get JP Losman. And then didn't have a first round pick in 2005 when they could have had Aaron Rodgers?

Yeah, but but the ones that really hurt are the "live" options that we had going back in the pre-draft mocks. For example, a ton of mocks had us taking Ngata and Orakpo. I don't remember any that had us taking Revis or Matthews, so those don't feel as bad. Not that Maybin was a good pick or anything. I disliked that pick at the time and posted about it in the draft thread.

It all started with Big Fat Mike Williams. And I got his jersey!
I still have my Derrick Dockery jersey.
