Every losing season that the bills have is $$ off the top of the total franchise value. I have no absolute fact to prove my next statement, so just go with me: It costs more to ralph wilson and his family to have a cheap staff who loses than to have an expensive staff and to win.
Winning makes money, no matter how much it costs. Losing loses money, no matter how little you put into it.
Basically, the conspiracy theory is just a stupid grasp. Hell, maybe they hired Jauron cause he's THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE BILLS! I mean, he's a defensive mind... Our defense sucks, and gray is leaving. Perhaps he's going to bring in a good OC to run the offense (or wyche is the guy).
I had a bad taste on this hire last night because it was down to sherman and the other guy, with the other guy getting the nod. Today, i'm fine with it. Hell, the defense sure will improve from last year. This is the guy who put brian urlacher on the map.
