Jauron needs to go!

[reddogblitz]

You seem way too comfortable with the "jock" humor my man. A bit lonely are we?

 

 

 

 

I'm not going to ague with you all night on this...btw, Ozzie Newsome built that team not Billick.

 

 

I hope the Bills are open minded about hiring a guy like Morris and I'm certainly glad you are not making the decision.

 

Alphadawg7 - Please don't confuse this guy with facts!

 

billsfan1, who are you anyway, Morris' father-in-law or something. For crying out loud, I heard Troy Aikman gushing over Gregg Williams while he was DC in Washington saying he was going to be a great HC someday. This was after his tenure in Buffalo.

 

I'm glad you're not making the decision.

 

Give me someone who's actually won something in the NFL before. They're out there.

 

Oh, and you didn't have a snide comment about Martz.

[DrDawkinstein]

im not for replacing Jauron.

 

Im not pleased with the coaching staff over the past few weeks. but if we are going to enter ANOTHER rebuilding stage before this one is complete, then it better be only for a few select coaches. Cowher... well i guess thats it.

 

im not going to support blowing the entire thing up just to bring in a guy who has been a DB coach on an "ok" Tampa team.

 

thatll get us right back to where we started.

[8-8 Forever?]

i do not want to start over with all new coaches. that starts the whole 3 yr cycle over again. we have a very tough schedule next tr and you morons want to start with all new offense and defense ? sure lets just go 5-11 and write it off to "rebuilding"?? NO

exactly. i think our chances of winning against next year's schedule are much greater with a group of guys (players AND coaches) who have been working together and been through some ups and (major) downs TOGETHER, than they are with a staff still trying to figure each other out and players still trying to re-learn their jobs.

i'm as sick as anyone of Jauron and i am sick of the perpetual rebuilding phase...but i wouldn't say anyone is a moron for wanting to go back to the drawing board with this team. What is the benefit of sticking with the offense currently being offered? You mean to tell me that ZERO touches for Fred Jackson is a good use of personnel?

 

but can we please do better than retreads like Marty Schottenheimer? The only "name" guy i'd be beating the drum for is cowher.

 

and for what it's worth...everyone here is looking for the next Marv Levy. Marv was a great guy...wonderful locker room presence...great motivator and a good head coach. But I wouldn't put him in the Pantheon of great NFL head coaches. In at least 2 of the 4 SBs, he was outcoached by teams with better gameplans. He was not exactly one for innovation or adaptation.

 

I want the guy who gets the most out of his players, understands the basic requirements of his position (like when to call time outs or challenge), as a resume that includes winning...not just longevity...and is innovative.

the benefit is seeing what happens when you give people (both players and coaches) who are so young in their careers a chance to learn and grow, instead of being so impatient that you find yourself in a perpetual cycle of starting over every 3 years.

 

before anyone explodes, im well aware that jauron isnt a "new" coach. but he is in this organization and with this team. and more importantly, the rest of the staff is extremely green in their careers, as are 90% of his players.

That's a risky proposition. You're betting that DJ can develop young talent into a winner before they all get to free agency. Who's willing to make that bet? Maybe Ralph. I doubt he will. I really believe that at 6-10 or 7-9 he makes a change. At that point Jauron will have done nothing to justify another year IMO.

true. but on the flipside, are you willing to bet that a new coach (especially a first year, former position coach) can turn this team around next year? or the year after? or the year after that?

 

cause if not, then he is gone too and we're back to rebuilding through 2015

I'd take my chances that a better coach than DJ could be hired. Looks like a good bet to me, but you'd have to be willing to compete in the hiring process. There will be a lot of coaches hired this off season.

I don't get the love for Jauron. HE CALLED HIMSELF OUT DURING PRESEASON, SAYING ANYTHING LESS THAN THE PLAYOFFS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I agree with him, this season is just UNACCEPTABLE. Dick MUST GO.

IT CAN BE DONE!!!!! Look at Miami & Atlanta.

There is no guarantee that, that coach will do well with the players we have. Coaching success I think has more to do with the players than with how good the coaches are. I think DJ gets bum rap because we don't think he is fiery enough. I am not sure that is a reason to fire him. I remember when a lot of you wanted the guy from Green Bay to be the next coach, yet he hasn't even be asked to coach again in the NFL. A lot of the people calling for Dj's head didn't even want him in the first place.

[Rico]

Jauron needs to go!, His most likely replacement...

Perry Fewell. Right place at the right time.

In February 2006, Sherman was hired by the Houstan Texans to be assistant head coach/offense coach.

In January 2007, Sherman was promoted to OC of the The Houston Texans, and still remained an assistant HC.

In November 2007, Sherman accepted the job as head coach of the Texas A & M Aggies.

 

So now we know you were wrong about Sherman, I suppose you can tell us how many teams had interviewed or were interested in interviewing Dick Jauron after the Lions cut him loose?

 

I'll give you a clue. It is less than 2.

Miami could very well win the division coming off a 1-15 record. Must be the 53 All-Pros that they added in the off-season.

I have been reading that players will react poorly if Jauron gets fired. First off, Jauron is a player's coach so off course the players will be upset. Let's face it, players for the most part enjoy less rules and easier practises. He holds practise sessions indoors for heaven's sake. He is turning the players soft and this is becoming a huge problem on the field. They need an ass kickin rather than an ass leakin' from gutless Jauron,

 

Consistency is obviously a cocnern. What has worked for the Bills the past few years? Special teams. Why? Bobby April is the reason and he would make the most sense to replace Jauron. Levy had a special teams background as well. He will come cheap which would make pathetic wilson happy. April is a great motivator and pushes his players, hence the great results over the years. He reacts and yells but also gets excited rather than stand there and pick his nose like jauron. For the players sake, he will also provide the consistency rather than a total makeover which could set the Bills back (even though I don't agree with that arguement as well). Wilson will never pay for a hotshot coach. I would rather have April than some supposed up and coming coordinator or staffer who will stink the place up like gregg williams or mike mularky. The bills already have the guy in the organization.

I asked the same question in a earlier post. If Wilson is gonna hire somebody from within it got to be April

Besides isnt he assistant head coach right now anyway??

This team could used a spark

Plus i think Jauron could even stay as a DB coach, but i doubt that would happen.Jauron best use is would be an assistant coach, not head coach.

Not true at all............

Falcons and Miami are examples of turning it around it one year.

Both teams have rookies and young talent..it can be done

Most important, they have great coaches how can motivate men....

Jauron has had 3 years.........average

dont see it getting better soon

[Paulfw]

If Ralph was smart he'd break the bank and hire Bill Cowher as head coach, give him free and total reign. Then in a year or so when we're looking good and in the playoffs-the value of the team will increase. When the team gets sold-the money spent on Cowher and staff will pay for itself plus much more. He'll be doing his family a favor! Do the Bills really think that hiring ANOTHER coordinator as a head coach will fill seats? No, Russ Brandon is smarter than that. They have to have a proven commodity and really show they're committed to winning. I really like Bobby April, but the time to win is now.

[1billsfan]

wait... so after all this campaigning against Jauron that 1billsfan has been doing for the past year and a half, and his idea for a replacement is...

 

(drum roll please)

 

 

RAHEEM MORRIS!?!?!?

 

 

 

you just want to make sure you have something to complain about, right? youre not serious about the bills entering ANOTHER rebuilding stage for... Raheem Morris, are you?

 

 

Yes. See, I'm not a small minded person like yourself who is clearly afraid of change. I believe that Morris would be a 1000 times better than Dick Jauron. I don't even think it's a risky proposition. The reason I believe this is from reading the comments by the players and his coaches, including his mentor Monte Kiffin. BTW, this is not a rebuilding stage for the Buffalo Bills. The core of young players have now been here three years now. This is a time that they need a real football coach to light a freaking fire under their ass and win this division next year. Just Like Miami is going to do with a rookie head coach who was hired from a position coach, taking a 1-15 team and winning the AFC East THIS year. See, that's the difference between you and me. You think small and I think big. This team has the talent, they certainly have the same amount of talent that Miami has. The thing that is most wrong with the Bills is the thing that you want to keep here, Dick Jauron. He's what is holding them back. So I do understand why you are so confused by my suggestion of Raheem Morris for the next Bills head coach. The very fact that you are on board with sticking with Dick Jauron says all I need to know about your intelligence.
