Wade continued the mistake of starting Scrub Johnson, which basically flushed the season down the turlet. Firing Bruce DeHaven as the scapegoat for the Music City Forward Pass and hiring the inexperienced and incompetent "Pump it Up" Ronnie Jones as the new Special Teams coach caused the Bills Best Special Teams in the NFL to plunge to the absolute bottom. Flutie could not handle playing behind an inferior QB, and ripped the team apart because he should have been starting and wasn't. After the season ended, Wade refused to fire Ronnie Jones (he rolled over on starting Johnson in the Wild Card game, and rolled over on firing DeHaven, but he drew the line at firing Ronnie Jones ). Ralph promptly fired Wade (or did he resign? We may never know.), and proceeded to make arguably the worst hire in Bills coaching history, Gregggggggggggggggggggggggggg "The Bullhorn" Williams. And the drought was on.
