57 years old, uh and he isn't Leslie Frazier? KC was 26th in scoring in 2008, In his first five years at Georgia Tech, he had compiled a 37-27 recordLeague sources say the Bills’ head-coaching search could come to a quick conclusion – within a day or two - and that Minnesota V
ikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier is not going to be the choice for the job.
Gailey meets the preference of Bills General Manager Buddy Nix of having a man who has prior head-coaching experience. He also fills the Bills’ desire of getting an offensive-minded coach.
Gailey most recently served as offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008. The Chiefs changed coaching staffs after the 2008 season and Gailey was retained. But he was fired by new coach Todd Haley just two weeks before the start of the regular season. Haley, an offensive coach, apparently had philosophical differences with Gailey and decided he wanted to call the plays himself.
And here is an article on him:
He knows a lot about football. You could do worse than having him around. But you could also do better.
Georgia Tech learned as much last fall. In six seasons Gailey never had a losing record but never beat Georgia. He could take a team so far — in 2006 the Jackets won the ACC Coastal but lost the conference title to Wake Forest in the worst game ever played — but no further. If he wasn’t quite the definition of mediocrity, he was close.
Never heard of this guy, if he's our next head coach I'm gonna kill myself
ReplyDeleteOMG... for the love of Christ, wait for Leslie Frazier.
