NFL Quick Hits, Jan. 20: Could Michael Vick Follow Chan Gailey to Buffalo?

Chan Gailey Made Buffalo Bills Head Coach

The Buffalo Bills hired Georgie Tech's Chan Gailey as their new head coach.

Saying Gailey's name out loud doesn't quite erase the taste that Dick Jauron left in fans' mouths, and it doesn't necessarily get you thinking "playoffs," either.

Kurt Warner Retiring?

In a recent interview, Warner admitted that the pressure of living up to his name and performing at a high level has gotten to him, saying that football wasn't as fun as it used to be.

This could be a strong sign that Warner has already made a decision to call it quits, and ESPN's Rick Reilly feels that he will.

However, it's noteworthy that Brett Favre said something very similar when he retired the first time, then returning just months later. And then again...

Michael Vick Headed for Buffalo?

The National Football Post's Mike Lombardi is pointing out Buffalo as a possible landing spot for Michael Vick, though no official reports of talks between the teams have been made.

All we know for sure is that Vick wants out, the Eagles are listening, and Gailey (the new Bills head coach) has a ton of experience using athletic quarterbacks.

Buffalo re-signing Terrell Owens and bringing in Vick could potentially turn their weak offense into a strength, as odd as that sounds.

Jonathan Stewart Has Foot Surgery

There's no real timetable for Stewart's return after having surgery done on his Achilles, but he should back back in time for training camp.

Stewart also reportedly had surgery on his pinkie, though we're pretty sure it's that foot most fantasy owners are worried about.

Oakland Pursuing Coaching Candidates

Despite still having head coach Tom Cable under contract (for now), owner Al Davis is reportedly aggressively seeking outside help.

It appears Davis doesn't mind ruffling Cable's feathers and making him sweat, but, at the same time, he doesn't want to risk losing Cable if he can't get "his guy" and upgrade his coaching staff.

Jim Fassel and Marc Trestman are two of the supposed frontrunners, while Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh has also been rumored to be in the mix.

Deuce McAllister Retires

Just days after re-signing with New Orleans and giving the entire team a jolt of energy, McAllister officially retired as a member of the Saints.

Apparently, that was the plan all along. All of the Saints' top backs appear to be in full health, so McAllister wasn't really needed, anyway. The former star running back is expected to stay on with the team for the rest of their playoff run as an honorary captain.
