thebug Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 People, people, calm down this is not over. Jauron is likely to challenge the firing. He's just having a hard time getting the challenge flag out.
MattyT Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Hopefully Fewell can have the same success as Singletary did with the 49ers after he took over as interim HC last year. That's extremely optimistic. Singletary is a master motivator. Fewell...not so much.
Fan in Chicago Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Yeah, been listening to talk radio all day and they've had alot of NFL Guys on discussing Jauron; Basically, according to them, Jauron is a popular guy in NFL circles. He'll get another job. Popular with opposing teams ...
MattyT Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Dick's probably just relieved that he doesn't have to figure out who the hell to put at LT next Sunday.
The Big Cat Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 That's extremely optimistic. Singletary is a master motivator. Fewell...not so much. What is this based on? Him consistently keeping injury plagued defenses in the thick of competition until the offense ***** the bed? EDIT: That's twice today, are we allowed to say **** now? EDIT2: Evidently not. Apparently **** doesn't get flagged if it's conjugated.

EDIT: That's twice today, are we allowed to say **** now? EDIT2: Evidently not. Apparently **** doesn't get flagged if it's conjugated. It's based on Singletary being one of the all-time biggest badasses in the NFL and Perry Fewell being a guy that get's called "Fewell Perry" in an article kicking off potentially one of the most important moments in his coaching career.
Bufcomments Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Man I cant wait to see FORMER Coach Jauron in a Coors beer commerical
Heels20X6 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 It's based on Singletary being one of the all-time biggest badasses in the NFL and Perry Fewell being a guy that get's called "Fewell Perry" in an article kicking off potentially one of the most important moments in his coaching career. Well said Matty, I remember 49er players saying that the minute Singletary was put in charge every player in that locker room (save for Vernon Davis) knew you do not mess with Samurai Mike. The man's legend on the field was probably bigger than his play but he immediately got the mix of fear and respect. Not to say Fewell won't but I'm guessing this mess of an offense doesn't respond to anything so he's already got an uphill battle.
rstencel Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Needed to happen. I am just hoping that the eventual full time replacement goes to a system that takes advantages of the strength of players on the team and/or drafting, rather than changing to a system that will take us 3+ years to bring in new players to play.
stuckincincy Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Dick's probably just relieved that he doesn't have to figure out who the hell to put at LT next Sunday. Odd as it may seem, I'd be working out McCargo there in practice.
MattyT Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Odd as it may seem, I'd be working out McCargo there in practice. You're hired!
Phlegm Alley Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I think Ralph has confused his prescriptions. He kept saying that he had to do something if Dick lasted longer than 4 hours.
stuckincincy Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 You're hired! I'd like the money! And the Bills should raid the B'gals PS for a '09 drafted player named Jason Shirley, from Fresno State. A DT, who played G during the preseason.
Fan in Chicago Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Not to say Fewell won't but I'm guessing this mess of an offense doesn't respond to anything so he's already got an uphill battle. Jauron's firing was to appease the now apathetic fan base. Not much will happen in the rest of the season to either salvage it or prepare for next season.
meazza Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Jauron's firing was to appease the now apathetic fan base. Not much will happen in the rest of the season to either salvage it or prepare for next season. And in 3 years we'll be calling for the next HC's head

canbuffan34 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Best news all season long!!!! Agreed! Someone needs to show me how to do a cartwheel, RIGHT NOW!!!
GrudginglyPessimistic Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Firing jauron is an OK step one but without taking a real step and getting a real GM in here, I suspect that the next HC will have the same success as MM and GW before him. The buck stops with the HC for a particular game and even for a particular season. However, the simple fact is that our 0 for about a decade record is one that Jauron is not the guilty party for the vast majority of this failure. If we are talking about a true road to rebuilding and some real change we need to get a GM in here with the smarts of a Polian and the authority of a Polian (Mr. Ralph gave TD this authority but did not manage this employee well enough to check and balance the negatives he had from being run out of Pitts). Mr. Ralph needs to man up and admit the Polian error and give Shanahan, Holmgren, Cpwher or some one who has done this before the authority that they need to get it done. He also needs to analyze things as we go to provide the appropriate check he never managed TD to do.
