History of the Buffalo Bills 2010

2010–future: The Buddy Nix Era
Buddy Nix, a former assistant general manager of the San Diego Chargers, was named general manager in the final week of the 2009 season. One of his first personnel moves was to cut ties with Owens (ironically, a man he had recruited during his time in college football).

On January 20, the team named Chan Gailey as head coach. Gailey was previously the offensive coordinator of Kansas City and head coach of Georgia Tech and the Dallas Cowboys, going 8-0 in the division in 1998, and leading the team to the postseason in both 1998 and 1999.

With the expiration of Terrell Owens' contract in March 2010, the Bills chose to not re-sign him.
