We'd like to welcome a new writer to the Bills Zone. Erik Dolan will contribute for us on a regular basis. Make him feel welcome and enjoy his first article:
The "Is Dick Jauron a good coach?" debate is certainly an interesting one. Some will give reasons why he "could be," some will give reasons why he is not. Detractors will say supporters are using excuses or bad comparisons in Jauron’s defense. Going into 2005, Dick Jauron had the same five-year record as Bill Belichick did in his first five seasons as a head coach. Of course we can always point out that Belichick was also a well-regarded defensive coordinator. He was widely considered the best defensive coordinator in football. So, why the losing five-year stint in Cleveland? Talent? Support staff? The detractors will use similar excuses for why some success-story coaches were once "poor" head coaches. Maybe it was just that the great Bill Belichick wasn’t quite ready. Who knows?
