lets_go_bills Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Someone posted a Matt Bowen article a while back, can't remember what about but it was blasphemy and it irked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry if already posted. This is a great site btw: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/0...h-jauron-bills/ Great article. The part about T.O. making the defense better particular caught my eye. I wonder how his presence will effect McKelvin and Mcgee. I would imagine a 2nd year guy like LeoMac will learn a lot lining up across from either Evans or T.O. everyday in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 For those who think Jauron is simply a push-over, Bowen disagrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Someone posted a Matt Bowen article a while back, can't remember what about but it was blasphemy and it irked me. Well, that's good enough for me. How do these people even get jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 For those who think Jauron is simply a push-over, Bowen disagrees. Interesting. But I sure wish I knew how DJ holds his players "accountable": "Yes, he’s a coach you want to play for and want to win for, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t hold you accountable — because he does." What does that mean? The player does not get a gold star next to his name for the week? The player gets sent to bed without dessert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 That's an excellent article from a guy who knows. That should be required reading for all Bills fans as well as all the national pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I respect Jauron more after reading that article. Gives you a better understanding that he's a stand-up guy. His clock-mismanagement still drives me nuts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that mean? The player does not get a gold star next to his name for the week? The player gets sent to bed without dessert? I think it means he deals with the issues, in private, behind closed doors, the way professionals do. Some of you guys think if a guy isn't screaming, or calling out players in front of reporters, then he isn't holding them responsible. I'm not crazy about Jauron's decisions (or non decisions), and I wasn't happy that he was retained, but that has nothing to do with his ability to manage players.

Dan Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 "...but Jauron won’t let that “character” dismantle his view of winning." I'm sorry, but that's exactly what I would hope TO can do. Because Jauron's view of winning has been killing us for 3 years sand counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Jauron's view of winning has been killing us for 3 years sand counting. Players love that Dick treats them as men. unfortunately, most NFL players don't produce at their peak level when treated this way. they respond as the prima donnas and thugs that they are - ' That's why coaches like Parcells get the most out of his players by not being their bud and allowing them to manlike slackers. I've had enough of the politically correct way to coach and would much prefer a butt-kicker who wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry if already posted. This is a great site btw: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/0...h-jauron-bills/ I really liked the article ... well written and a bit of an "insiders view." Interesting that he pointed to Roscoe in the slot an not Reed ... small point. Liked the idea that having T.O. around could help to make the D better.

I've had enough of the politically correct way to coach and would much prefer a butt-kicker who wins It has nothing to do with "political correctness" or "being their bud". Tom Coughlin, always a good technical coach, couldn't succeed, because he didn't treat his players as men. He had to change...the result? Super Bowl, in the first year of the new attitude. Players will ruin a coach they don't respect, or one they hate. You have to be respected first, and no coach is going to get respect if he treats his players like dogs (or assumes they are thugs). Now, of course that isn't the only thing that mattered, but even he admits it went a long way (saved his job, to be frank). Parcells isn't the bully that he is made out to be, either. The point it to treat men like men. Tell them what they need to do, and hold them accountable for their actions. Jauron's problem isn't that he is to soft on his players. His problem is he makes s#itty gameday decisions and lets his offense, and defensive, play too passively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you disagree. Of course Jauron is involved in the draft. I think there are very few, if any, head coaches who aren't actively involved with the draft.
