Coach Tuesday Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 If Wilson says he is going to solve the problem of our offensive game management with continuity in his staff, there's no way he's firing Turk. See, I keep re-reading his quote. Does he mean that the game management is offensive? Or that the offensive game management is offensive? I'm not sure... (The fact that both are true is further evidence of this organization's suckitude). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 IMO...they were Turk's calls. The same for the throws at the goal line instead of running. Dick is too gracious to allow Turk to take the fall for his stupidity. Dick is too gracious to allow a player to ever take the fall for his stupidity. That's why he's so well liked. He'll fall on his sword for you and won't demand anything from you. Dick The Gracious NFL Head Coach Ya know... I was thinking this during some of those press conferences. Kinda like Dick knew his job was safe, so he took the heat for his staff in some grand gesture. In the end, .. oh who the hell cares.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWVaBeach Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 People who renew their seasons after this - bigger f/aggots. I'd rather have the team move. Makes me wonder if that's maybe what he's trying to accomplish. RW: "Look Roger the fans have bailed on me, now I have to move". Wouldn't be surprised.

OCinBuffalo Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Bottom line is the head coach is responsible. You don't let a coordinator continue to f*** up game after game after game and just sit there and do nothing. It is 99.6% Jauron's fault. This is the point that trumps the "Dick is a good guy/won't "throw people under the bus"(god I am getting sick of that saying)". There are soooo many people who think that "supporting their people" rises above all priorities, even getting results, and it crushes them in the end, every time. I have had to learn this the hard way. There's a time for loyalty but it should never take on a higher priority than accountability. Clearly, it's time for Jauron to focus on the latter. Also, how do we know that this isn't a "you can stay, but Fewell and Schonert have to go....Mularkey/Jauron quits 3 days later" scenario? I almost guarantee there is more to come....

Lofton80 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 All it says it they don't want to pay Jauron for not coaching. The spin will be Edwards injury set the team back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauron gave up Turk et al to keep his job. Not sure how I feel about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Ah well. I thought they might dump him, but I was wrong. I'll hope for the best. It's no use getting angry--I'm used to losing and will always follow them obsessively. He's due for another blind-luck 13-3 season, you know ...

Cookiemonster Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Not really a shock...I do believe they fire Turk though, which is still a step in the right direction because he was a joke... Maybe next year when DJ has another losing season we fire him and bring in Cowher who will be ready to coach again then. You know, I thought the same thing, maybe we could get Kelly and his group to pull the trigger, offer Cowher some minority ownership interest in the team to sweeten the deal, and full control, gotta love the chin.Go Bills! I am all for trying anything to kill the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutie Flakes Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Jauron being retained is really not a big surprise unfortunately. From what I have read, it sounds like Ralph's plan was to retain Jauron, but require a major shake-up in his coaching staff. The feeling was that Jauron would resist making these required moves and possibly quit. I am purely speculating here (because I do not have the inside sources like Scooby), but I see Schonert and many of his O-assistants gone tomorrow. They may even release Fewell but I doubt it. If the release of Schonert or other offensive assistants did not happen, I would be very surprised. Again, purely speculation but from past history, this seems to be how Ralph operates, especially in light of the fact that Jauron appeared to have renewed his coaching contract earlier in the season and if Wilson fires him at this point, he is on the hook to pay the guy.
