His big winning season with the Bears was a result of horseshoes falling out of their butts in half the games. The rest of his record offers nothing over what we've seen in the last five years.

Omar Little Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Exactly. He's a horrible head coach. I'd much rather have an assistant like Donnie Henderson than Jauron. However, Sherman is far and away my top choice. I've always been a huge fan of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofton80 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Donnie Henderson, Mooch, Fassel, Wade, Martz, AL Saunders, Haslett all would excite me more than Jauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 You guys aren't giving Jauron enough credit. The guy really can coach and he'd be great for the Bills. I thought that last time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgg Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The Bears had horrible personnel. They had no offensive weapons, their defense didn't have the players that they have now. Jauron did what he could with that talent. People once thought Bellichick sucked after his stint with Cleveland. If Marv thinks he'd be a good coach, I wouldn't mind seeing him come to Buffalo. ...to produce any better results than Mularkey did? It's a mystery to me.

Olaf Fub Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Jauron is my first choice. Levy watched him for years when he was with the Bears so he knows what kind coach he is. Going 13-3 with the talent they gave him in Chicago is amazing. Shane Matthews, for crying out loud, was his starting QB for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Now its the "oh, he was lucky" talk to spin around the issue of whay Jouron has done. Amazing. ALL this talk could have been applied to one Bill Belichick after his stint in Cleveland. All of it. Maybe if Jouron wore a headband you folks would like him more.

BuffOrange Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 ...to produce any better results than Mularkey did? 572309[/snapback] Because nothing is ever the players' fault. We got destroyed by 28 pts at home vs. our biggest rival because of playcalling, didn't you hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradRiter Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I wasn't excited about either Sherman or Jauron until I asked Hub Arkush (Pro Football Weekly) about them and now I'm OK, good even, with either one of them.

Of course, sometimes our little failures preface us growing into even bigger failures as well. Who knows how Jauron would turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a lil skit called Levy almost killed by the Bulldog. Then they went back and changed the name to Bulldog almost hurts Marv Levy. What's that all about? Are they bored or just can't come up with decent, original material. That's lame. And I'm sure they lost some fans with pulling crap like this. If you have'nt heard it listen to this.....

JDG Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I guess we ought to reserve judgment until we know more. At least I will back off on this. 573247[/snapback] Good to hear. Especially if Jauron is hired, there's nothing worse than not believing in the new Head Coach. I think Jauron is an interesting choice. Yes, the Bears got a ton of breaks in their 13-3 year - but every NFL team gets some breaks during the year. So maybe with some different bounces the Bears lose the Browns and 49ers games. That's still 11-5... with a roster that really should have been 4-12. On offense they had Jim Miller and Anthony Thomas - two guys who very quickly became NFL backups, and their only WR was Marty Booker, with a bunch of nobodies lining up on the other side of the field. Their TE's were probably the biggest collection of no-names since the Bills lined up Lonnie Johnson, Rob Coons, and Tony Cline. Yes, the defense carried this team, but their defensive roster doesn't exactly evince evidence of being loaded with great players. Looking closer at the Bears personnel during the Jauron era, the Bears look like they had some really weak drafts during that time. In his first year, they drafted Cade McNown in the 1st Round - one of the worst 1st Round QB's ever, and their second rounder, Russell Davis, was off the team after just one season. The 2000 draft was a winner with Urlacher and Mike Brown, but by 2001 they were drafting the likes of David Terrell and Marc Colombo, both first round busts. So, while Jauron definitely has fewer playoff seasons and wins than Mike Sherman, Jauron seems to have been operating with significantly less talent at his disposal - the difference between Brett Favre and Ahman Green vs. Jim Miller and Anthony Thomas. And 13-3 is still 13-3.... that's the best record Marv Levy ever achieved with the Bills. Its also worth noting that before the 2001 season, the Bears' GM resigned. The new GM, Angelo, wanted to get rid of Jauron, but couldn't after the 13-3 season, but took the opportunity to do so after subsequebt 4-12 and 7-9 seasons. While some people talk about Jauron being upset in the playoffs by a solid Philadelphia Eagles team, the truth of the matter is that coaches with tons of playoff wins generally aren't available.
