His size and speed even earned him the nickname “Mouse” in the back yards of Kenmore. Jim began his coaching career as an assistant with UB until the school ended their football program, Jim moved on to other other college programs including Marshall, Boston College, and Wake Forest before being hired as the offensive line coach with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL. Jim would spend 15 years with Cincinnati coaching a line anchored by Pro Football Hall of Famer, Anthony Munoz. After leaving Cincinnati in 1994, Jim signed on as offensive line coach for the NFL expansion franchise, Carolina Panthers and then would hold the same position for the New York Giants during their 2000 appearance in the Super Bowl. Jim then got the opportunity to come back home to Western New York and coach for his hometown Bills. In 2007, after four years with the Bills and over 30 years of coaching, McNally retired. Jim is a member of the Kenmore West Athletic Hall of Fame and a 2008 inductee to the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the UB Athletic Hall of Fame in 1982.

INTRODUCTION The genesis for this article comes from a conversation with a National Football League (NFL) club executive who complained that the information he had at his disposal related to coaching compensation and contract terms was incomplete, and he felt that it put him at a competitive disadvantage in preparing for and handling negotiations with both his head coach and his assistant coaches alike. A bit of investigation indicated that this executive was far from alone in this feeling. It is in the negotiation of NFL coaching contracts that clubs maintain less information and perhaps less leverage. This is a particularly uncomfortable position for NFL clubs used to having strong information and a standardized contract for their dealings with players.

  • 2004 NFL Season Tuesday Morning Quarterbacks
    Tuesday Morning Quarterback Page 1 of 13 Dumbledore returns, plus cheerleaders from the future travel backward in time to save Star Trek! By Gregg Easterbrook Special to NFL.com (Aug. 10, 2004) -- Thank goodness it's about to end -- that long, lonely NFL offseason will conclude, and the nutty artificial universe of pro football resumes. Not a moment too soon! All the madness, the hype, the ill-tempered gentlemen slamming into each other, the scantily attired cheer-babes. I don't know about you, but I can't wait. In a moment, my annual review of offseason highlights -- actually, lowlights. But first, a Tuesday Morning Quarterback public-policy proposal: uniform amnesty. All NFL teams that have adopted garish new color schemes or monochrome looks, TMQ is proclaiming an amnesty. Return to your old uniforms, and no questions asked. For my money, the Bills, Bolts, Broncos, Cowboys, Falcons, Giants, Jets, Patriots, Seahawks and Titans went downhill with their uniform alterations; only the Bucs, Eagles and Rams look better in their revisionist duds than those that came before.
