This might be some sort of record.

In early balloting Monday afternoon, Buffalo Bills coach Dick Jauron is pulling down a four percent in the latest ESPN SportsNation head coach approval ratings.

That's dead last in the NFL and the worst number in the two years SportsNation has conducted the polls.

Four percent.

Genghis Khan wasn't that despised. Idi Amin was embraced more by his people. Spencer Pratt is adored by comparison.

Four percent.

Jauron's rating is 20 points lower than when Richard Nixon left office.

Bills fans loathed the guy last year, but his lowest rating for 2008 was eight percent. So he was twice as popular then.

The Bills were manhandled 38-10 by the winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Dolphins coach Tony Sparano, a darling last year, so far has skyrocketed from 43 percent to 75 percent with the victory.

To be fair he's in a no win situation. Have you seen the Bills play? No coach could turn that bunch into winners.

I'm thinking a few AFC East teams fans voted about 4% of the time.

Players still need to perform on the field. No coach can throw the ball for them.

How come Bellicheck never won in Cleveland if he's so great of a coach?

AGREE.

There IS talent on this team.

Jackson, Lynch, TO, Evans, Nelson, The interior OL. The DL, The CB's....

Hell I still think Trent can be a GOOD QB.

But they ALL need to play in a REAL system. Scrap the garbage no huddle. Scrap this HORRIFIC Cover-2. Get ina some REAL coaches who can realize who is killing us, scout some free agents, and actually get a team ready... and this could be a WINNING team.

Just cast my vote. Probably wont matter but hey these types of things are all that we have to show our disgust!

The 4% must be part of Dick's "friends and family" network.

this is just another case of you going against what everyone else is saying...

do we have a ton of talent? no, especially with all the injuries we are facing. but jauron is not the answer, and never has been. he is not a winning coach and cant be superior teams

Don't get me wrong, Dick should have never of been hired in the first place, he needs to go soon. But he's only the coach, football games are won/lost on the field and that's on the players/GM.

Re: Jauron's approval rating a comical 4 percent

Is it Dick's fault Edwards over throws a wide open TO?

Is it Dick's fault Bell, Chambers both blow?

Is it Dick's fault we are starting 2 rookies and 5 new o-linemen from last year?

Is it Dick's fault Whitner blows?

Is it Dick's fault McKelvin took the ball out of the endzone or that he got hurt?

Is it Dick's fault the Lynch is a thug and was suspended for 3 games?

Is it Dick's fault that Edwards blows?

Is it Dicks fault that Mitchell is blows?

Is it Dick's fault we picked the busts Whitner/Poz?

Is it Dicks fault the Bills weren't bad enough to be able to draft Patrick Willis instead of Lynch?

etc....

I blame the GM and the players on the field. Dick has his share of the blame but we would be running Cowher out of town if he was here the past 10 years.

it appears we wont agree on this but id say the coach has just as much of an effect on the game as the players...

with the talent they have in Dallas, why arent they playing better? With the talent SD has, why havent they been a true juggernaut the past few years?

coaching.

Romo blows. Choker.

3 years in a row and 4 out of the past 5 years they have made the playoffs. That pretty damn good.

yes, romo does blow games but most people will agree that they have under-performed.

and san diego plays in arguably the worst division in football.

again, we wont agree on this but coaching does play a pretty good sized role in how well a team performs.
