Coach Tuesday Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry if already posted. This is a great site btw: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/0...h-jauron-bills/
lets_go_bills Posted March 9, 2009 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.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 9, 2009 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.
The Dean Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 For those who think Jauron is simply a push-over, Bowen disagrees.
dave mcbride Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry if already posted. This is a great site btw: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/0...h-jauron-bills/ Terrific - thanks. This should be on the TBD front page.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2009 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?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry if already posted. This is a great site btw: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/2009/0...h-jauron-bills/ Hadn't seen it so thank you Coach Tuesday.
Cynical Posted March 9, 2009 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?
Kelly the Dog Posted March 9, 2009 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.
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 9, 2009 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.
The Dean Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Interesting.

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.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 That's an excellent article from a guy who knows. That should be required reading for all Bulls fans as well as all the national pundits. Chicago or UB?
Fingon Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Wow, don't think i've ever read a more gushing article about a coach.... ever.
Dan Posted March 9, 2009 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.
spartacus Posted March 9, 2009 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. 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
BuffaloBill Posted March 9, 2009 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.

His problem is he makes s#itty gameday decisions and lets his offense, and defensive, play too passively. According to TG (and I fully believe this), he also had lots of say wrt the drafts.
The Dean Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 According to TG (and I fully believe this), he also had lots of say wrt the drafts. Which, I believe, have been pretty-to-very good. 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.
