Report: Gailey expected to be next Bills head coach | ProFootballTalk.com
"Gailey, 58, would not be a particularly splashy pick for the Bills. But he would fit G.M. Buddy Nix's profile; he's an offensive coach with head coaching experience. Gailey ran the Cowboys in the late '90s and has offensive coordinator stints in Pittsburgh, Miami, and last with Kansas City. He also was the head coach at Georgia Tech from 2002 through 2007, and he is known for a run-first approach."
