Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix understands that the team he now runs has needs at a number of positions.

And his hope over the next couple of days is that he can find some players in the NFL draft who will fill those spots.

But when it came time to execute the ninth overall pick in the first round Thursday night, Nix could not ignore what he believes to be the most pressing issue for the Bills.

The Buffalo Bills have hired former Dallas Cowboys and Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey as their new coach, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The team announced it would hold a news conference at its facility in Orchard Park, N.Y. at 2 p.m. ET.

The Bills are said to be impressed with how Gailey has brought teams to the playoffs with quarterbacks such as Mike Tomczak, Kordell Stewart and Jay Fiedler. In fact, Bill Cowher — whom the Bills had been courting to replace the fired Dick Jauron — highly recommended Gailey to the Bills.

Cowher planned to make Gailey his assistant head coach/offensive coordinator if he came back. Gailey has coached in four Super Bowls and has had his teams go to the playoffs in 11 of his 15 NFL seasons.

Buffalo Bills starting defensive tackle Marcus Stroud has been ruled out because of a knee injury, meaning the NFL’s worst run defense could be without both starting defensive tackles against Jacksonville this weekend.


Kyle Williams has missed three games because of a knee injury, and was listed as questionable by interim head coach Perry Fewell on Friday. Williams has practiced sparingly this weekend.

The Bills (3-6) have only two other defensive tackles on their roster — reserves Spencer Johnson and John McCargo.

Their defense is allowing an NFL-worst 173 yards rushing this season. Buffalo prepares to face the run-happy Jaguars led by Maurice Jones-Drew, who’s tied for fourth in the league with 860 yards rushing and has scored seven of his 12 touchdowns in the past four games.

Tony Dungy says Michael Vick could potentially wind up in Buffalo, which he says previously discussed signing the quarterback.


Dungy has served as an adviser to Vick since the Super Bowl-winning coach retired from the Colts after last season. Now a commentator for NBC, Dungy confirmed during the pregame show Sunday night before Philadelphia hosted Dallas that the Bills and Vick “talked originally” when Vick was searching for a team after serving 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring.

The Eagles signed Vick to a $1.6 million contract for 2009, with a team option for the second year at $5.2 million. But he has played sparingly.

“I told Michael to just worry about this year,” Dungy said. “It’s technically up to Philadelphia. If they want him back, he has to stay there. If they don’t, there are some teams looking for quarterbacks: Cleveland, St. Louis and Washington.

The Buffalo Bills’ logjam at wide receiver will soon get a little more crowded.

The team is expected to add second-year man James Hardy to the 53-man roster by Wednesday. That’s when the 21-day window in which he can practice with the team while still on the reserve/physically unable to perform list ends.

Hardy has been practicing fully since Oct. 21.

“James has done a real nice job,” Bills coach Dick Jauron said this week. “We have that 21-day window, and my understanding is that it runs through next Wednesday. So we’ll keep looking at it and look at our roster and see what we can do and what we think at that point. We’ll run it right up to that time.”

Bills quarterback Trent Edwards requires further evaluation after sustaining the second concussion of his NFL career. The starter’s status is uncertain for the game at Carolina this weekend.

Coach Dick Jauron said Monday that Edwards was healthy enough to travel home with the team after he was knocked out in the second quarter of a 16-13 overtime win at the New York Jets on Sunday. “We’ll take that day to day and see how he comes out of this thing,” Jauron said.

Bills players are off until Wednesday.

Edwards also sustained a concussion in a loss at Arizona on Oct. 5.

A day after watching arguably the worst professional football game ever played, the Buffalo Bills 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns, along came two teams that restored my love for the game.


The New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins slugged it out on Monday Night Football, the Jets clinging to a 13-10 lead after three quarters. Then in a blaze of short-circuiting scoreboard bulbs, the teams erupted for a combined 35 points over the final 15 minutes.
The Dolphins won 31-27.

“Oh yeah, I remember this,” I muttered. “The NFL really can be exciting.”

I thought of something else, too.

About just how far the AFC East Division has run away from the Bills, even further it seems than last season when Buffalo couldn’t win a single game against its chief rivals.

An offense’s job is to score points. Failing that, it should at least control the ball long enough to give its defense a chance to rest.

The Buffalo Bills are having a hard time doing either.

Heading into Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, the Bills are 23rd in the NFL in scoring average and last in time of possession.

With Terrell Owens teaming with Lee Evans at wide receiver and Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch in the backfield, the Bills expected to have a no-huddle offense that creates scoring opportunities and wears down defenses.
