I'd say those comments were probably written by Mark Weiler. J/K

I think he is a good coach. It's not like he inherited a good team, when he came here. He has had only 1 offseason to get players for his system, and so far he has done a fantastic job of doing so. I guess Marv, Modrak and Co. deserve some credit for that also. As long as I keep seeing improvements and the players playing hard for him, he can stay.

imo, DJ is more of an unknown commodity than JP right now.

I'm not thrilled with Jauron at all so far. He's been outcoached in every game. And the team has no discipline- too many turnovers and penalties.

Better players might turn him into a genius. It's happened before.

It can't be. His 2000/2001 previews prove that it doesn't mean anything.

I'm curious what the same guy said about his 2002 and 2003 seasons.

Tough division Jauron had to work in too. lol

He had nothing to say about the high priced nothings brought in this offseason?

Unlike a lot of posters here, I don't know a lot about how much lattitude - or money - Ralph allows Marv and DJ to have in the FA process. I do think the draft was pretty good, and that we're in kind of a mess from the Donahoe era, and that we might give DJ (and Marv) more than one offseason and 8 weeks of the regular season to turn the mess around.

yes. I fully agree that it's too early to render judgment on Jauron. especially since he has a team trying to grasp a new system, an inexperienced QB, a relatively untalented OL, and a combination of questionable talent and youth at the DT position.

it's really hard to say that he's been outcoached at this point. it may very well be a matter of execution, as you can only tell the guys how to do it so many times; once they get out there, it's up to them. I'm not saying that he deserves to be excused for the 2-5 start, but I do think that there's a very good chance that the boys on the field just aren't quite getting it yet.

23. Gregg Williams, Buffalo Bills. He has prepared his whole life to be an NFL head coach, so don't expect Williams to blow it. He works as hard as anybody and appears to have a solid grasp of the fine line between pushing too much and pushing not enough. As a defensive coach, he's one of the best. He likes to be aggressive, which is a plus with all the speed in the NFL these days. He has a chance to be a real good one.

RATING THE COACHES - 2000 SEASON

12. Dick Jauron
Chicago Bears
Second year
Career record: 6-10
Comment: Don't be fooled by the record. Jauron has the Bears on the verge of the playoffs with a wide-open offense. He gets players to respond.

20. Bill Belichick
New England Patriots
First year
Career record: 36-44
Comment: Everyone keeps waiting for all those years working with Bill Parcells to rub off on Belichick. Guess what? It ain't happenin'.

RATING THE COACHES - 2001 SEASON

27. Dick Jauron, Chicago Bears. When he was named the Bears coach, there were many in the league who thought he'd be a better head coach than coordinator. So far, that hasn't proved to be true, although he has been limited by poor quarterback play. Jauron's players love him. His cerebral approach -- as a Yale graduate, he might be the league's smartest coach -- is a calming influence in a league of screaming, ranting coaches. Yet he's stern enough to get his point across. The 2001 season is make-or-break for Jauron.

30. Bill Belichick, New England Patriots. His players don't like him, the media doesn't like him, and his inflexibility is tiring. So why is he back running an NFL team? It's because he's a great defensive coordinator who is from the Bill Parcells' tree. Belichick is a much better coordinator than head coach, which the Patriots will find out.

That's a key difference IMO. At least BB was/is a defensive genius. Dick has nothing to hang his hat on except his Yale diploma. Not one of his defenses were ever in the top 10.

Dick sucks and will be gone in three years.
