Why is Chan Gailey still employed?

by Steve

Granted, if a mediocrity of a president can get reelected because he runs against a baffoon, a racist electorate and a record of accomplishing very little, I guess anything is possible.  But why is Chanwhick Gailey still employed?  I guess it will be more appropriate to ask this question September 2013 when we have zero hope/faith and at least another full season with ol' Chanwhick but I'm asking today.

Offensive genius?  How can anyone with a straight face refer to Chanwhick as a genius of anything let alone an offense in the National Football League?  Afraid to run the ball because (gasp) there is a base defense on the field!!?  A running back who is breaking YPC records dating back to the 60s and only gets 11 total touches and 6 total carries?

A coach that watches Trent Edwards, determines he is the quarterback he is going to latch his sinking ship to only to cut him after 2 games?  The same coach that has seen Ryan Fitz-noodle-arm-Fitzpatrick for 2.5 years and still believes he can win with him?  This is a quarterback that appears to be stroking out on every single pass and can not throw the ball more than 25 yards down field EVER even just to try and get a pass interference?

How yeah, his record is 13-27 as the starting head coach in Buffalo.  Maybe I should have just started with that and copy and pasted it a few times. his record is 13-27 his record is 13-27 his record is 13-27 his record is 13-27 his record is 13-27 his record is 13-27. his record is 13-27 his record is 13-27.

That is far worse than Dick Jauron.  In addition, he is starting to sound more and more like Jauron.  He doesn't have answers, he sounds dejected and ready to give up (until the pay check is direct deposited).

He doesn't appear to be any type of leader, he doesn't appear to motivate or inspire anyone.  How about things that are quantifiable?  Half time adjustments.  Do the Bills ever come out of half time and take over the game?  Or even come out competently?  The Bills have been outscored in the second half 152-86.
The Bills have been outscored in the second half 152-86.
The Bills have been outscored in the second half 152-86.
The Bills have been outscored in the second half 152-86.
The Bills have been outscored in the second half 152-86.  In eight games. That is 19 points per game in the second half alone.  There are six teams that don't, on average, allow 19 points per game and the Bills do in the 2nd half!

Is there any objective measure to which Gailey is acceptable or even competent? Teams with interim coaches like the Colts and Saints (yes they have good QBs) are winning.  Doesn't that shoot down Bud Nix's argument that starting over with a new coach is kind of bunk?

He has no say in the defense which is half the game and apparently doesn't even care to have a say.  He refuses to consider firing Stachstedt.  He hates Cliff Spiller.  Well, hey, there are 4 more divisional games left and it isn't like the Bills are 2-13 vs the division under Chanwhick or anything right?

Time to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
