Now that Chris Ault has retired as Nevada's HC could he be a possibility for OC if Geno is our target for QBOTF?

This is why I think Chan Gailey is the best candidate as an OC if he gets fired in Buffalo.

He's shown an ability and willingness to adapt scheme to talent.

I don't think he's HC material, but he's as innovative and creative as any OC in the league.

I hadn't thought of this. You, sir, are brilliant!

Always liked ol' Mr. Chan

Elements of the spread/spread quarterbacks will never work in the NFL\ CP braintrust.

Still hasn't won a title yet.

I can already hear the "retread" groans, but you're absolutely right... i could get behind him as an OC.

The only caveat i would have to add with him, is that i would want a top flight QB coach to work hand in glove with him.

He's a solid schemer, but i have doubts about how well he can communicate those ideas to his QB... yes, he made thiggy look atleast competitive, but aikman was known to have hated working with him and he didnt exactly make fitzpatrick shine - like weis did with cassel to an extent - either.

He's good, but needs a great HC to keep an eye on things and a quarterback coach to keep his guy focused and on the right track.

The Pats do not run a typical pro style offense. They run a "whatever the **** Belicheck wants to run this down" style offense.
