According to some mouthpiece on NFLN, Gregg Williams is also a top choice. Hot coordiator who knows the system in buffalo.

 

 

 

He failed to mention a few things though: Sucked even worse than DJ as the bills head coach, was already fired once by Ralph Wilson.

With the news that Dick Jauron has been canned, the obvious question involves replacing him.

 

Experts have been discussing for weeks now how viable the notion is that an owner who was sure to fire his coach might just do it sooner rather than later. That would be so the organization would have a better shot at landing one of the big names floating around. Those include Bill Cowher, Mike Holmgren and Mike Shanahan. (We'll give Jon Gruden a day off since he just re-inked for broadcasting duty.) That said, nobody has ever associated the Bills with the "big-name coach" idea. This is, after all, a franchise that hired Dick Jauron to get them back to respectability.

 

So the question looms: Are Marv Levy and Ralph Wilson ready to make a bold move? The early line? Well, SI's Peter King does note that Gruden's commitment to the booth leaves Mike Shanahan in prime position. "Shanahan," he writes, "is atop the heap of the certain returnees to the coaching sideline in January."

 

Nothing new here, move along...unless you want to comment on the fact that the writer thinks that Marv is still involved in the decision making process.

Not according to record.

Gregg Williams 3 seasons w/ Buffalo - 3-13, 8-8, 6-10 for a total of 17-31= win % of .354

 

Mike Mularkey 2 seasons w/ Buffalo - 9-7, 5-11 for a total of 14-18= win % of .438

 

Dick Jauron 3 1/2 seasons w/ Buffalo - 7-9, 7-9, 7-9, 3-6 for a total of 24-33= win % 0f .421

 

So Mularkey was best, than Jauron, last is Williams.

 

Conclusion: All three stink.
