dave mcbride Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 "Keeping Coach Jauron shows that at the end of the day this team is trying to win and ultimately go in the right direction towards making the playoffs," tight end Robert Royal said. "Having the same guy fighting with the players who have been here and striving for the same goal, it's a great feeling." The players believe that overhauling the coaching staff usually means a change of philosophy and personnel. And minus a few exceptions (see Atlanta, Baltimore and Miami), bringing in a new coach doesn't typically lead to instant success. In fact, teams with new coaches often take a step back before they move forward. "When you're changing coaches, it's like you are starting all over again," McGee said. "I don't want to see us go back to a rebuilding mode," Moorman added. "New head coaches tend to want their own players in. Now you're looking at a couple years [before the team is ready to win]. I think our best chance to get in the playoffs is to keep Coach Jauron. I think we need to stay the course and continue to build on what we have here." Safety Bryan Scott said a big concern among players when a coaching change is made is they don't know what to expect from the new guy. "There are so many question marks when you bring in a new staff," Scott said. "Obviously some teams that do that get going right away. But I think when you keep a good staff in place, everyone's familiar with the system, and they know the personnel well and what it can do. You don't have a period of time where they have to feel everyone out." http://www.buffalonews.com/453/story/536501.html Translated: My contract is not guaranteed, and I don't wanna get cut.

Sisyphean Bills Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 You mean a new coach may expect accountability from the players? Not only that. A new staff might try to replace them when they suck. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hey, Robert Royal - STFU and count your blessings. You should be ecstatic that Jauron is coming back. He's probably the only HC who has been fooled into thinking you are a viable pass-catching TE in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
