Fan in San Diego Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Didn't think Gruden was ready to get back in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Huh. Well if that's accurate, at least it shows they actually ARE offering the job to high-caliber coaches and it isn't just a smokescreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm more surprised by this.... News 4 Sports reported Thursday that the Bills offered Jauron the chance to remain as the head coach for the rest of the season. He declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 He really seems to be having a lot of fun. Best MNF in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Does that mean RW got out of paying him some of the contract? That's the way I would fight it if he wants to go to court for full pay. "Hey judge, we asked him to stay, but he didn't want to, so we consider that him quitting."

Ralph basically said, as a courtesy, that Dick would be fired at the end of the season and Dick declined. Seems like a logical choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Does that mean RW got out of paying him some of the contract? Nah. They asked him not just if he wanted to stay, but if he wanted to stay as a lame duck. I'm betting Jauron and Wilson will work out some compromise on the contract anyway.

Flbillsfan#1 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Ralph must have known that Dick would turn him down. I think Ralph would have been fine with Dick staying until the end of the season, but he wanted to begin the process of replacing him NOW so he had to tell him he was going to be fired.

DarthICE Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Ah so it has begun...good HC's not wanting to coach in Buffalo and or work for Ralph. Hey Ralph, how about you work hard to find a new owner to sell the team to and let him find the new GM/HC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Ralph, how about you work hard to find a new owner to sell the team to and let him find the new GM/HC? That new owner will probably be canadian and hungry for $$$$$.

Justice Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Who's the Master???? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...p;#entry1585563 At this point, with the Bills a putrid 1 & 3 and all, I would like nothing more than to see the Bills lose to the Browns on Sunday. Hell, I don't mind watching them lose just enough games to get Jauron and the entire FO fired! Even if it means we don't win another game all season. Nothing will ever change with these clowns running the show. Every time I watch the Bills play I see nothing but an inept, rag-tag, sorry ass, no game plan having, under-prepared bunch of buffoons. They run a sorry excuse of a program. It's an embarrassment. This is nothing new around here. The vast majority here already know these guys are responsible for all the losing and would like nothing more than to see some guys that are good at what they do wearing Buffalo blue, white, and red. These guys, although intelligent off the field, are complete morons on it. I cant wait to see them go! I will throw a freaking party that starts on Friday and ends on Monday when this finally happens! I know I'll get flamed for saying this, but I'd like to see the Bills lose, and you know what, I don't care. You can question my loyalty to the Bills all you want. I know it's not true. I'm not shy to say I want the Bills to tank it-bad! As a matter of fact, I want to make a prediction. Jauron will not be fired, he will resign. Whether it's by force or not, I don't know. I'm not even sure it will happen during the season or later in the off season. Every time the Bills lose this season I will have a smile on my face. And so should you.
