"The Players Love Jauron"

[OpIv37]

I'm really sick of hearing this.

Yes, it's one of the few positives about this guy. But the players loving him DOESN'T make him qualified to do his job.

He cuts practices short. He cuts OTA's short. He gives them days off after losses. He lets them practice inside in winter.

I've had managers who were the same way. They didn't care if we got there late or left early. We didn't need advance notice to use leave. They didn't make us keep up with documentation, etc. It was a very relaxed work environment.

The problem was that we never got anything done. The guy treated the client the same way, never got the information we needed out of them, never clearly communicated our status to them, etc, and the project was a complete mess. That manager is a good guy and he makes a great drinking buddy, but he sucks at his job.

So, it could very well be that the players like him because he doesn't make them DO anything. From all indications, Jauron is the anti-Bellicheck in terms of personality and how he treats people, which is a good thing, but it doesn't make him qualified to coach an NFL team.

Then he's completely outcoached on gameday against any team with a .500 record or better.

Spot on. It's Club Jauron over there.

Children would love the parent that lets them eat candy for dinner and stay up all night.

And whose fault is it when they get bad grades at school and have their teeth rotted out by age 13?

I don't know but we fans are Toby. We're the only ones trying to do the right thing, and we're constantly made to look like fools because of it.

Re: "The Players Love Jauron"

the biggest reason they love him is because a lot of them wouldnt have starting jobs or jobs at all for that matter with a different coach.

Re: "The Players Love Jauron"

He's probably a good guy. He's just a career loser as a game time coach.

Re: "The Players Love Jauron"

these players must really LOVE LOSING then, becasue they are never gonna win anything under this idiot.

Re: "The Players Love Jauron"

The work analogy is perfect.

Who wouldn't love a boss who always supported them, no matter how poor their performance? There are no consequences for these guys which, to them, is surely awesome. All the players live on Easy St.

Kelsay loves Dick the best. He became the team Capt. and got a huge raise under Dick for doing nothing.

Re: "The Players Love Jauron"

This is what pissed me off the most about this whole situation. All of these players coming out in full support of Jauron just shows that they are satisfied with losing year in and year out. Especially Kelsay who keeps whining about being in the league for 6 years now and never seeing the playoffs, but yet he wants to keep playing for the incompetent Jauron.

What makes me even MORE mad is they don't realize hos incompetent Jauran is.

Re: "The Players Love Jauron"

Jauron is like that uncle you had when you were a kid that let you get away with anything you wanted to. Horrible parent, but you loved him because you would never get in trouble for doing things wrong.

It's easy for players to love Dick when he never yells, screams, or disciplines the players. Players love Wade Phillips, for the same reasons. Look how he's doing.

No ****, half of our starters would be backups on 25 other teams...

Re: "The Players Love Jauron"

The other quote that I'd add to that is "we played hard" or "we play hard for him".

Well isn't that nice. Thanks for putting forth an effort. I guess though, looking back on it, that is something we should admire in some sense. With your coach screwing everything up during the game at least you still play hard to overcome that type of incompetence.
