Stevie Johnson backs Gailey

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson wants Chan Gailey to return as Head Coach next year, despite the team's 5-9 record.

"I don't want to see him go," said Johnson. "I don’t want to get too emotional and all that stuff but he gave me the opportunity to play here. I want to do what I can or do my part to ensure that he will be here."

Johnson remains loyal to Gailey, in part because he is the one who gave Johnson a chance to become a star.  Johnson had just 12 catches in the two seasons before Gailey arrived. This year, he is on pace for his third straight 1,000 yard season.

"I think it is very evident what Coach Gailey has done for me. I guess these next two week are going to be the ones that are going to make or break all of us," said Johnson.

The Bills visit Miami this week, before returning home to face the Jets in Week 17.
