Jauron 2nd-Best Coach we ever had??

[Lexwhat]

Ralph thinks so....


"The 87-year-old team owner, who has employed 14 head coaches — two of them twice — in his franchise’s 47-year history, offered a telling observation.


“After Marv Levy, (Dick Jauron) is the best coach this team has ever had,” Wilson said.

Levy’s position, given his presence in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the fact he guided the Bills to five AFC Championship Games and four Super Bowls, is understandable.


But that’s hefty praise from an owner who once wrote checks to Lou Saban and Chuck Knox."

Ummm...I like Jauron.....always have.

But Lou Saban is the only Coach to ever win a league title here.

They say the memory is the first thing to go....after the old joystick.

Way too early for those kind of accolades in reality. Nice to see the confidence in the staff extend all the way to the top, though

Don't Ralph and Lou have a long standing grudge with each other?

Yes. Wish I knew the true story. As I've said before, Ralph and Lou should write books.

Sounds like a bad attempt to pull a TD pump up the crap...RW is a senile old man.

It's not really that hard to figure out is it?

Ralph's a meddler, and can be a hothead.

Meddled with Collier, meddled with Rauch, meddled with Knox, probably even meddled with Levy.

Ran Polian and Butler out of town.

Now you can say, Hey, it's his team, he can do what he wants with it.

Okay, that may be true.

Just don't expect to win a lot of Super Bowls that way.

Well when you have the likes of Gregg Williams, Mike Mularkey, Kay Stephenson, Hank Bullough, etc. it's not hard to move up the ranks...

With all the talent he had, I never thought Marv was all that hot.

1. Marv
2. Lou
3. Dick

Re: Jauron 2nd-Best Coach we ever had??

I have to admit that Jauron has been a pleasant surprise- while he's done some stupid things, he's also been a lot better than I thought he'd be and he's done a lot without much talent or experience.

That being said, he's had 14 games and he has a .500 record over that span- I think calling him the second best coach in team history is premature at this point. Hopefully Ralph is right, but time will tell.
