Rubes Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 My brother-in-law is a lifelong fan, has season tix. Hated Jauron. Feels really bad for me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yeah, but the season he took them to the playoffs they actually had a song about him that they played on the radio, so take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Paulson Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 i lived in Chicago during the end of Wanny and the beginning of the DICK JAURON reigns of errors DICK JAURON is hated there. all my Chicago contacts are laughing that he has made it this far as the Bills choice. the still play a funny clip on AM 670 the good sports station in Chicago where Eddie Obramawiszc (sp) is asked something like: whats the Bears problem? and he screams: DICK JAURON!!!! when i left Chicago i moved to N.E. Wisconsin where i got to witness the last 5 years of the Mike Sherman experience. he did nothing except run that team into the ground. now all my Packer fan neighbors also get to laugh at me. this is truely pick your poison as neither is the 'must have' guy like Saban or Mora Jr were when they were hired. who knows maybe it will be better the 2nd time around for whoever we hire but i'm not counting on it.

The Bills team is already in the ground, I'm not sure why your friends aren't laughing at you already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favre pulling games out of his A$$ skewed those records and he finally hit the wall this year they were terrible in the playoffs- if success is a winning season than getting spanked in the 1st round of the playoffs than yes they were very successful under sherman. (and please don't rebut that they made into the 2nd round round once or twice because my point is once in the playoffs they did little except get embarrassed) look, i really don't have avendetta against sherman but it appears the board is going overboard thnikng this guy is some great coach- he was an average coach at best and a bad G.M. at best maybe he will do better in buffalo but my hopes are not high.

Alaska Darin Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 How many coaches have you hired? 574696[/snapback] None. Which is why I'm not qualified to criticize any of these men. I'll root for whoever gets hired because that's pretty much all I can do. I know both Jauron and Sherman are pretty good guys and each has had some experience running fugged up organizations, which the BILLS definitely are. Simply put there isn't ONE guy out there who's a no doubt homerun. We had the chance to hire one the last time (Weis) but didn't for whatever reason (probably money). Now we are where we are.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a fairly critical guy, right? Or do you just criticize the critics, which is good work if you can find it, since most critics (professional ones, anyway) are usually dip-*****.

That said, every situation is different and just because a guy failed in one situation doesn't mean that's going to happen in EVERY situation. Will either of these guys be successful in Buffalo? Probably not, but like most who came before them the blame should probably be placed MUCH higher. I'm not sure anyone short of Parcells or Gibbs could fix the BILLS while Ralph is in charge.
