The "cheap" argument doesn't wash for player salaries since each team has to spend most if not all of it's cap.
As far as coaches, scouting and front office go, is Ralph cheap or just spending what the Bills bring in? Teams like Washington, Dallas, and New England, through loopholes in the NFL revenue sharing rules, bring in $100 million more a year than the Bills do.
They can spend an extra $10-$20 mil and not care. A couple extra mil spent by the Bills could put the Bills in the red. Oh sure, Ralph could subsidize the team, after all that's his money, not yours. You're all for Ralph spending his own money to make you happy!
Maybe the next owner of the Bills will spend more on coaches. Of course, he will also have to double ticket prices, increase parking to $45, double concession prices, and start forcing people to pay for PSL's for the privialge of buying season tickets, just like the rest of the NFL does. Would that make you happy?

I gotta believe Wyche is Levy's kind of coach. Maybe Wyche himself felt he isn't able to be an OC. (Helps to be able to talk.) What's wrong with the role he plays now?

Most of the good NFL teams have players the Bills drafted but TD let walk. What an astute judge of talent he was!

The team will be buried with Ralph, like the Pharohs did.

No one mentioned the Bills cut Upper Deck Corner seats by $3. So my Rockpile seats will cost $20 more. ($250 to $270) You can't buy 3 tickets for one Patriots game for $270! You should see my Pats fan buddies jaws hit the floor when I tell them what my seasons cost.

Where did the 80% figure come from? Thin Air? Jerry Sullivan? A poll of 10 drunken idiots at a bar? I am not thrilled with the choice of Jauron but it wasn't my decision.
Players play. Coaches coach. General Managers general manage. Owners pay the bills (no pun intended) and Fans watch all of the above and second guess everything.
80% probably is based on e-mails they receive. That could mean 8 out of 10 they got.

If we won't let one rookie QB develop, why would you draft another, especially when we need O-liners so badly???

We're just cutting the red tape, and going to the inevitable conclusion...tears, lots of tears.

What he said:
Well, most people here would say he's a bad coach. Most would say the 13-3 team in 2001 won in spite of him and not because of him. Here's some examples: He's not the first coach in history to be a bad evaluator of talent, but there were plenty of instances where he and his staff just couldn't put players in the best position for success...namely, assigning Brian Urlacher to OLB where he struggled before eventually realizing his lateral pursuit strength made him an ideal middle line backer. Ol Dick was loyal to his coaches, definitely to a fault in his sticking with Offensive idiot Coordinator John Shoop, who came with no experience other than as QB coach...and whose playcalling was so woeful, the calls for his head came early and often....and Jauron wouldn't budge.
Let's se, where else can I criticise...Well, let's put it still another way...He was the D coach for D-town, and interim coach, which gave him the inside track for that job, in addition to Millen knowing him from the Chicago days in the division...and where's he now? AFC. Buffalo. Even Millen wouldn't take a chance.
No...Jauron's a phony...I'd be bitter up there if I were ya'll too...
What happened to the last guy? he wasn't there very long at all...
Not my words...all his.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...all I heard was a reporter asking him if he learned anything in terms of hiring guys like Schoop (which I took it as saying how much of a failure Schoop was) and Jauron said "Yes".
NOTHING about bringing Schoop in, if anything he acknowledged hiring Schoop was a mistake in Chicago.
What he said was they are hiring Mike Schopp and the Bulldog as coordinators and Jerry Sullivan as asst. HC. They are, after all, the smartest football minds in town.

I think he was joking a bit...but yeah, Ralph ought to use a script. The ad-libs not working today.

Hook line and sinker! I wanted that scenario to be true so badly, that I believed every word.

I follow the NFL, watch as many games as possible on Direct TV, follow all teams, read many publications and have a good working knowledge of issues and history.
Dick Jauron is a complete and absolute joke. If this is an attempt to brings the Bills back from the dead, then the attempt was badly misguided.
Jauron is a total loser as a head coach, the Bears under his regime were the most offensively inept team in the league. The one "miracle season" was only because of the luckiest set of defensive plays that you could immagine. Remember the Browns and 49 games back to back. Even in that year, the Eagles went to Chicago and "B word-slapped" the pathetic Bears and then they went back to the 4-21, 5-11 team they really were.
In addition, this clown believes in the west coast offense and if left to his own hiring of assistants will bring in a Mike Schoop type of offensive coordinator who believes in the three-yard pass, no matter the situation.
This is an awful hire, the Bills will sink to the bottom of both the AFC East and the NFL within three years the name Buffalo Bills will be tied to the "on-the-clock" for the 1st pick in the 2009 NFL draft.
I am sorry and I love the Bills, but this hire has taken any hope away that the team may turn around and feel that we will be the biggest laughingstock in the NFL, starting with today's press conference.
Sorry to see you go. Have fun rooting for the Pats or Steelers or whoever you hitch your bandwagon to.

In all his years, Ralph has really never spent for a coach (with the possible omission of Chuck Knox) - so this is no surprise. Jauron will work within the structure, not cause waves or question Marv/Ralph. Sherman has more experience than Marv as a general manager and we couldn't have that. I think the pick should have been Sherman (who would have brought better people with him), but he may have doomed his own candidacy with his demands. But hey, I thought the pick of Marv Levy (who?) was a loser in 1986 and that worked out pretty well. We'll see who his offensive coordinator ... safe to say though, that free agents will hardly be lining up to come here. I bet Cincy looks pretty good to Takeo now.
Except the money arguement doesn't apply here. Sherman was guarenteed $3.2 mil a year from GB. No matter what Ralph paid him!! Ralph could pay Sherman $1 and he would still get $3.2 mil a year!!!

Yeah...we need a GM from the Pittsburgh oragnization to set this team right!

I wasn't a big Sherman guy to start, but as the process advances, and his W-L record was discussed, I got pretty excited. It really was going to be like when Chuck Knox came to the Bills...a HC with a winning record.
Now that Jauron will be HC, I don't know how to feel. Disappointed, yes. His W-L record is not good. But does that mean he isn't a good coach? Those were pretty pitiful Bears teams talent-wise in those years.
And if Soprano's source is correct, on how Sherman tried a power play and pissed of Levy & Wilson, all I can think about is how easily things can slip through your fingers.

From last night's show: Brad & Ed wonder aloud why would MM walk away from $1 mil, unless he knew he had a gig waiting for him. Hmmmmm.
