i liked Chan Gailey.....he got us to the playoffs and cleaned up the Crack Wagon....the big issue was Aikman couldnt adjust to his system....
Romo is young and just beginning...I say bring back Gailey as our OC and give him another chance....I bet he could work wonders....too bad we couldn't have gotten Mike Martz.....then guys like Austin and Hurd could have come out of nowhere and had 1000 yd seasons.
Now you're speaking my language. Maybe Georgia Tech will let Chan loose after that 2nd half collapse in the Gator Bowl yesterday. Ahh, wishful thinking.
5 wides with Owens, Glenn, Crayton, Hurd, and Austin in Gailey's system would be sweet. Not to mention the occasional option play with Julius and/or Barber. Speaking of Julius and how a lot of us on here have been saying that he needs someone to "resurrect" him again---look at Gailey's work with both Emmitt in '98 and '99 and Lamar Smith in '00 and '01 when he was the 'Fins offensive coordinator. His system helped both backs enjoy excellent years. In Emmitt's case, he even had a very complimentary quote on Gailey's website some time back saying that Gailey helped revitalize his career.
Would Chan ever want to work for Jerry again though? He stood up to him last time and got canned for it, and he felt betrayed because of his belief that Jerry let Aikman talk him into giving him the ultimatum of changing offensive systems or being fired.
Incidentally,
@ "cleaned up the Crack Wagon". Very true, but an interesting way to put it!
