Kyyle23 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I cannot think of a coach that has put himself in a position to fail more times than Jauron. Following Wannstedt in Chicago, following Mariucci in Detroit, and just plain going to Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Ditka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I can't believe this guy was a head coach three times. Next up Mangini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yeah, that took too long. And the Bills have had enough high and sometimes even successful draft picks that they could have at least pulled out a playoff birth one of these last few years if the coaching staff had anything together.

You could blame injuries in the past, but when injuries become the norm and not freakish, there has to be something wrong with the conditioning, scheme, or players being brought in. A lot of times, that falls on the head coach, and it was definitely time for Jauron to go. I predicted he'd get fired in week 2 after he started 2-5. It was after he fell to 3-6. So sue me.

nitetrain8601 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 As stated earlier, he doesn't know how to pick jobs. He basically goes where he knows they will be rebuilding and are not expecting to do anything whatsoever. He's a lameduck type of coach.

Balta1701 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 One day after firing Dick Jauron, the Buffalo Bills have wasted no time identifying a potential replacement. Buffalo has contacted and is in the process of arranging a meeting with former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, according to two NFL sources. ... For now, the Bills have appointed defensive coordinator Perry Fewell as interim head coach. Fewell is well-respected within the organization and will be given every opportunity to earn the full-time job. The Bills also will investigate options expected to include Florida Tuskers coach Jim Haslett and New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride, both of whom has ties to the Bills. Haslett played linebacker for Buffalo from 1979 to 1985. Gilbride was the Bills offensive coordinator during 2002-03, when quarterback Drew Bledsoe had his most productive seasons with the team. Another candidate on the Bills radar is Marc Trestman, coach of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, who posted a CFL-best 15-3 regular season record and has his team one win from the Grey Cup final. Ironically, Trestman once succeeded Shanahan as the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. One thing I will say about the Bills/Shanahan matchup. I'm not sure that they can pull off the money issue, but there shouldn't be any other team in the league that would have less trouble giving him 100% control over personnel decisions than the Bills. He can't possibly do worse than how they've done the last decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Oh, and they just benched Trent Edwards. Man, that kid showed a world of promise for a 3rd round pick when he first got the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shoulder surgery, a vanilla offense, and another offensive coordinator change to an even more conservative offense will make any QB look bad.

Balta1701 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Bills meet with Shanahan. They might be serious about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
