Something I've been thinking about the past few days......
We still have no confirmation either way of whether or not Dick Jauron's contract has been signed. However, we do know that if the two sides hadn't signed it, they at the least were very close to an agreement......at the most agreed to terms, but didn't ink it.
So, here's the moral dilemma scenario (which is totally plausible). Let's say both sides agreed to terms. They had every little detail ironed out. They even shook hands on the deal.....they just didn't actually sign it that day.
Then the Bills lose to Miami and Russ Brandon/Jim Overdorf basically said to Jauron, "let's wait another week," because they didn't want to make it official and make that sort of anmouncement after a loss to our arch-rivals.
Then, after the Jets loss, they basically said, "let's hold off" again.
Two more losses later, the contract is still not signed. But that handshake agreement was still made five weeks ago.
Bills fail to make the playoffs and DJ is fired.
My questions to all of you: If this is the scenario (again, completely possible):
**What are your feelings about the organization not honoring the handshake agreement and conducting business like that?
**Is it morally and ethically wrong?
**If we are ok with it as fans, are we being hypocritical of our normal standards for the organization?
**And finaly, what if it was a player who did that to the organization? Say, Lee Evans had done that, for example. Would there be a double-standard as far as how you react?
I'll post my own response to my questions in my next post.
