Albany,n.y. Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 In all the "When does Jauron get fired?" strings everyone seems to be forgetting one thing: THE ROONEY RULE All the big names cannot come in like Marv did in 1986 because the league will only allow an interim coach, unless Ralph is set on naming Fewell as permanent head coach. Just look at what happened with Haslett in STL last year. He had a clause that if he won a certain # of games, he'd get the HC job permanently-the NFL disallowed it. So if Jauron gets fired, all we get is an interim coach. If you want April, you can have him audition, but that's about it. So, if Ralph is even considering going for a name, or some other team's assistant, forget Dick getting fired in season.
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Even if the Bills could hire someone mid-season it would likely be a lost cause. Imagine someone coaching without knowing the players or coaches. I'd be SHOCKED if he's fired during the season, unless it's like week #14 and we've already been eliminated from playoff contention. There's no-one on the staff I would want to audition.
