QB Bills Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I actually respect the fact that he's a classy guy and not an obnoxious ass like Rex Ryan, but unfortunately the bland personality we see through the media translates to his conservative approach to the game. He's a guy you want to see do well, but he just doesn't exude confidence. Although the players seem to like him, he doesn't seem to get the most out of them. I don't think the Bills are devoid of talent like some people do and a good coach would have got this team into the playoffs last year with that creampuff schedule. I hope he does well, but I don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyDingo Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 "Well...certainly an interesting day, quote-wise. I thought my quotes sounded good at practice on Friday. The players loved them. But the reporters asked some questions I didn't think of, and you can't prepare for that. We'll read the headlines Monday and go from there. It's hard to speak in the NFL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 "those players like working together" that one kills me. I don't know what the heck that means. a built in excuse for when things don't go the way they are supposed to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Quite honestly, I don't give a rat's ass what Jauron says. Criticizing his "coach speak" is nonsense, IMO. I just can't stand his passive approach on Game Day. The rest is bulls#it, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilcape Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Dean, its all tied in together man. his kitty-ass ultra-conversatism shows on both the field, and up at the podium. i wouldn't make fun of him, and care that hes a terrified coward if he didn't look that way on the field! he looks like poor 6 year old timmy with 8 year old billy picking on him. instead of me starting a new thread, just continue here......What are 3 good words to use to sum up Dick. 1. coward 2. afraid 3. passive other mentionable words for Dick are: confused, Dementia, kitty, Un-dead, petrified, overwhelmed, lack-luster, wimpy and slow. OH! but who cares guys? all his players and everyone in the organization loves him! and that makes up for all the previously mentioned words for him!!

Belicheat may be the most boring of them all. Both of those guys coached winning teams. Hate Jauron for his coaching, not his coach speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Oh wow....is the off-season over already? Guess it's time to start amping up the Jauron rancor. Might as well beat the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate Jauron for his coaching, not his coach speak. +1 There have been many coaches that could put a room full of heroin addicts to sleep, but win. OTOH, there have been many loud mouth tough guy coaches who sucked when it came to their overall record. It's one thing to not like a coach because of his on-field approach, but to criticize a guy for the way he speaks or the phrases he uses during a presser is bordering "playing for the other team". What's next, threads about the way he eats his food, or why he doesn't grow a beard, and how that "translates" to on-field play??

Please spare us I really can't figure out if some of these people think Jauron would all of a sudden be a better coach, if he said different things in a press conference, or that you can tell if a coach is good or bad by what they say to the press.

I hate to say this, and don't agree with it, but I think some people are just so angry with the lack of playoff appearances that they just want to see Dick go into a presser and rip anything and everything that moves, just to show he cares. Fact is, any man in his right mind would care about posting 7-9 records, and the fact Dick puts himself above being an A-hole in front of the press should be welcoming to fans. I don't know, some people are probably hoping for a T.O. like reaction, but I don't see how that would change anything, certainly not his gameplan...

The only change it would make is turning Dick from a crappy gentleman coach into a crappy douchebag coach. Truth is, at least IMO, is Dick isn't a terrible coach. He is just a very conservative/nervous gameday coach who limits the top end of the team. He is competent Monday-Saturday when the team prepares (and interpersonal skills and football acumen are important) , but kind of chokes on Sunday, when decisions need to be made under fire. This has little to do with his post-game demeanor. And, yes you are correct, some here simply want to rail against anything and everything, because the Bills have been losing. They want to see the coach (and the players, judging by many posts over the past year or so) sound as frustrated and pissed off as they do. That's a fairly useless reaction, IMO. It is important to tackle the things that don't work in an organization, while preserving the things that do. Indiscriminate finger pointing gets you nowhere. And, in my experience, public admonishment of players (or coaches) is counterproductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your opinion of our coach is dead on, and even though most won't admit to it, is probably the consensus of most fans. On another note, I was up your way last weekend. My wife teaches 4th grade and takes her kids their each year. She's been bugging me to go to learn some "Florida History". I kept telling her there wasn't any but finally caved in and went (5 year anniversary). I must say I was extremely impressed! Flagler College is the most beautiful College I've ever seen. We were able to take a tour of it, very impressive. Also toured the Fort, and took the Trolley Tour. Had a fantastic time learning about the area, seeing all the sites, and it was cool having someone explain it all to me. Learned a lot and can't wait to go back. Thought I'd share, I'm sure you know all of this, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well, when your strategy is to take the air out of the ball, keep the score close, and kick a FG as time runs out, then your strategy is to just have a chance. Of course that isn't really aspiring towards greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd share, I'm sure you know all of this, though. I agree with your opinion of St Augustine. My sister (and her family) has lived here for well over 20 years. While I don't think much of Florida for the most part, St Augustine is pretty tolerable and very historic. It almost seems civil and urbane (to a degree). But I can assure you that face is thin veneer. Travel 10-15 miles in any direction (except East, of course) and you will realize you are in the heart of redneck country. Well, when your strategy is to take the air out of the ball, keep the score close, and kick a FG as time runs out, then your strategy is to just have a chance. Of course that isn't really aspiring towards greatness. Hard to argue with that, Sis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 There have been many coaches that could put a room full of heroin addicts to sleep, but win. That's true, but I don't think it applies here. Guys like Belichick (or Lou Holtz as the best example) may downplay the team to the press, but with their team they have instilled confidence as a result of solid preparation and smart game planning. Jauron's teams don't tend to look confident or particularly well prepared, so it's easy to assume that his dour attitude isn't just a ruse for the media, but the manifestation of his true shortcomings as coach.

I whole-heartedly disagree with the team not looking prepared. Play calling, yes, that is sub-par and often times just plain wrong. But the players themselves have said that they are fully prepared each and every game (I know, what else would they say). Aside from the Willis comment regarding not knowing what down it was, I have not seen a game where the players looked "unprepared" OR lacking confidence. I would think the appearance of these would be a direct result of bad play calling by the coaches, but that's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
