Chiefs hire Gailey as offensive coordinator
By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star

Chan Gailey was hired today as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator.

Gailey, 56, is a veteran coordinator, having served in that capacity in the NFL with Denver, Pittsburgh and Miami. He also has been head coach for the Cowboys and Birmingham in the World League and in college for Troy State, Samford and Georgia Tech. He was fired this past fall after six seasons at Georgia Tech.

Chiefs coach Herm Edwards was immediately unavailable for comment.

Other candidates for the position included UTEP offensive coordinator Eric Price, former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel and Jacksonville quarterbacks coach Mike Shula.

Gailey will replace Mike Solari, who was fired after the Chiefs had one of their worst offensive seasons in team history. __________________

He was such a good puppet for Jones that Herm couldn't pass him up.

The very guy I said yesterday I don't want to be our new oc.

Two thumbs WAY down.

All I know is that if Herm hired him, he can't be the right man for the job.

I hope I eat so much crow next season, I crap feathers for a week!

This is ridiculous.

He sounded like the best OC to me and fassel was 2nd. We cant doubt him til we see him in action.

Yeah, but Herm hired him. I knew he would. That is enough for me to doubt him now.

Are you serious? I mean, we are getting an OC that was fired from the college ranks. It doesn't get much better than that.
