Guess the "Turk" came for Turk!

[Jeff Wright's Mullet]

Bold move by Dick Jauron. Based on what we all saw in the preseason I think this is a good move.

[Fewell733]

glad they make the move now rather than 6 weeks from now. It's always a worse mistake to do nothing when you know the result of doing nothing will be failure. But its not like its a new system its just really a new play-caller. Which may be good enough. Turk showed he didn't seem to have much/any common-sense calling plays.

You know, I hate it when people like us posters suggest the team does something like this "because other teams do it". Now I'm wondering if DJ is on this board somewhere and/or if he's doing this because it's the trendy thing to do.

 

Outside of that....wow. I'm a little taken aback by this. Maybe Jauron is feeling the heat already.

Wait a minute...Turk sucked but firing him is somehow worse for us? Not saying Van Pelt will be better but Turk was pretty freakin' bad.

Agreed. But you have to figure that the system and the plays they practiced etc. are going to be what they run this year. No time to install anything new. So, basically AVP now calls the plays and we look stupid for firing our OC on the eve of the season. They could have given playcalling to AVP anyway. I just feel like we are a completely disorganized mess on the eve of the season. Very disheartening.

[Dan]

Well, with the successful installation of the no huddle attack, Trent calls all his own plays. So I'm guessin' they just realized we really don't need an OC anyways.

Jauron might be a lot of things, but trendy isn't one of them.

Is this legit?

If so, good for AVP!

[BillsVet]

For the record, most NFL coaches do not get to hire as many OC's/DC's are DJ has. Normally, when you're not able to pick new coordinators (unless of course they're hired for a HC gig) you get the boot eventually.

[Cynical]

what does this mean?

are we the 3rd team to can an OC before the season starts?

 

EDIT:

 

apparently, yes:

I'll believe it when I "see" it, and not when it appears on a rumor site.

PTF is pretty accurate.

[Kettle Creek Football]

AVP will be Head Coach next season, I believe... no matter how the team finishes the season.

 

I guess AVP is to Ralph what Jason Garrett is to Jerry Jones!

[Fewell733]

PTF is pretty accurate.

 

with something like this they're pretty accurate

[Endzone Animal]

This just adds to the well earned perception of the franchise in a state of utter chaos, desperation and incompetence.

Hang on here....people are actually UPSET by this news??

 

 

This offense couldn't possibly be worse if they let Trent just diagram plays on his stomach (you know, nerf football style).
