I had a chance to speak with Buffalo Bills coach Chan Gailey this afternoon. A story on Marcus Easley is coming up in Sunday’s paper (hint, hint…plug, plug) but Gailey had some interesting thoughts on the UConn program as a whole.
Asked about the fact that most NFL teams “stop in” to check out the Husky players every year now, Gailey said that was an understatement.
“More than that. You make sure you go in there,” Gailey said. “It’s not if they’re going to have one. They’re going to have one every year.”
Gailey knows UConn coach Randy Edsall fairly well, from their days in the NFL (Gailey was in Pittsburgh when Edsall was in Jacksonville) and the two also met when Georgia Tech and UConn squared off.
“We played in the old stadium,” Gailey said, recalling a game at 16,000-seat Memorial Stadium in Storrs in 2002. “That’s how far back we go.”
“I think the world of Randy and I think they do a great job of coaching,” Gailey added.
