Gailey was out of work throughout the entire 2009 season, hadn't been an NFL head coach since 1999 and didn't have many alluring employment prospects. Multiple sources tell me Gailey likely would have taken over the new San Antonio franchise in the United Football League had the Bills not made him an offer.

Huyghue said it's a major concern in one particular state, Texas, which is where the league is looking to place one of two new expansion teams, considering the appeal of high school football across that state.
The likely location for the Texas UFL squad will be San Antonio, while one more team will be added within the next month. Salt Lake City appears to be a front-runner, while other cities mentioned have been Louisville (Ky.), Portland (Ore.) and Omaha (Neb.) as the UFL looks to move into areas without strong NFL-team ties.

UFL Expansion Teams Will Be San Antonio And Omaha
Billy Kirk of UFL Access is reporting that Omaha and San Antonio will be the UFL's two new cities in 2010. According to kirk, Portland and Salt Lake City were also considered. The two cities that were not picked may be turned into franchises in 2011.
UFL Access called San Antonio the second priority market for the UFL in 2008, with only Los Angeles ahead. If UFL Access' reports are true, the San Antonio franchise will overtake the Locos as the "Golden Franchise".
According to UFL Access here are the UFL's priorities heading into 2011
1.Los Angeles - Could the NFL beat them to it?
2.Oklahoma City - May get a franchise in 2011 that moves here
3.New York City - Bringing the Sentinels back in 2011 could be reality
4.Austin - Won't happen now that San Antonio gets a franchise
5.Portland - Surprised the Redwoods didn't move here
6.Memphis - Read number 8
7.Birmingham - Lots of football talent in this area
8.Louisville - The UFL seems to be focusing on expanding to the west
It must be noted that Salt Lake City was not listed.
