    The entire coaching staff has been relieved of their duties as well. Good times, good times......

    Say what you want about Chan, but he did give opportunities to other players that otherwise wouldn't get them. I respect that.

    New theory: the Bills will hire Norv Turner as their next head coach.

    He'd fit perfectly into the Dick Jauron, Chan Gailey, "how the fuck did I get this job?" lineage.

    David Nelson? Ryan Fitzpatrick? Stevie Johnson?

    He does get most of the credit for making Stevie the #1 WR a few years ago!! But he totally bombed on Fitzpatrick. Remember he actually went with Edwards over Fitzpatrick to start the 2010 season but injuries changed that, do he didnt really give Fitzpatrick his "chance". That would be nothing to brag about anyway.

    Injuries had nothing to do with going with Fitz over Edwards after only 2 games..........Edwards sucking is why the move was made.........hence the reason he was cut before the 3rd game of the 2010 season.

    But Gailey still banked that season on Trent Edwards, the only reason Fitz was given a chance is because thats all we had behind Edwards.

    Also I'm convinced Trent's career was ruined after that Adrian Wilson hit that gave him a concussion. He never played the same after that. Would have been our best QB since Kelly IMHO.

    I understood your point, but CJ should clearly have been their guy this year. Chan failed to realize that, and thusly, was fired.......

    What is wrong with this franchise??? This is what it would like if James Dolan owned a football team.

    It's alot better then having a 90+ year old as the head of major football decesions. Maybe Brandon himself will give Fitz the boot. I will reserve judgement until I see what ki nd of coaching staff is brought in. He has stated that money won't be an issue in their search.

    I never said it was a bad move. I was commenting on the sad state of the franchise over the past decade. They were great in the 90's and then all of a sudden they fell off the face of the Earth. Similar to James Dolan taking over Madison Square Garden.

    Not even close. Dolan affected two franchises and brought down to the gutters so much more quickly and worse than the Bills are.
