    Dick knows defense?

    Let's take a look at his "vaunted" defense's overall rankings:

    As DC in Jax, it ranked 19th, 15th, 24th and 25th.
    As HC in Chicago it ranked 30th, 16th, 13th, 25th and 12th.
    As DC In Detroit it ranked 20th.

    Not once was his defense in the top 10.

    Hmmm...yeah, I can see why he's considered a defensive guru.

    Sounds like Mularkey as an offensive guru.

        It's his job. He's cynical.

          thanks for doing that Mr. C... i didnt want to put in the time or effort to look that up.. but i figured as much.. i never heard his name mentioned once as a defensive guru prior to his head coaching job in chicago.. and i knew he defense in chicago and detriot were nothing to write home about..

          man.. this whole thing just has me so completely baffled.. i just can see why they hired the guy unless he is just sitting down with marvs hand up his ass.. and if the bills were truely interviewing coordinators as well already.. i cant imagine that ANY head coach that wasnt just completely desperate to get back into a HC job would look at buffalo as an option..

          the raiders look more appealing at this point, as a head coach.. ralph is just as meddling as old Al is .. but at least the gm and his hall of fame greatness wouldnt be hanging over your head.

          blah.. this is just so old already.. and it was just weeks ago that we were so happy TD was gone..

            Do you know how many threads I'm going to resurrect if the Bills right the ship under Jauron?

                    I couldn't agree more. During this whole coaching search, I didn't think for a minute that Jauron would be the guy. I thought it was definitely either Haslett or Sherman. Sherman, to me, just made too much sense. A guy with prior GM experience could lend a helping hand to Marv and has been a very good coach for a few years. Instead, we go with Jauron. I can only pray that Martz is the OC cause Jauron's coordinators in Chi-town were down right putrid.

                      I am looking for that silver lining somehwere to try and get excited for Jauron as head coach and I can't other than one year he went 13-3. In all the other years he sucked, he has done nothing great as a defensive coordinator.
                      I truly worry this could be the beginning of the end of football in Buffalo. Like it or not many Bills fans will not re-new there season tickets. Single game buyers will be less inclined to buy since there is nothing to get excited about. Many fans don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars to see there team be a whipping stick.
                      Call them fair weather fans but it is reality.
                      Fans stop coming so the market is unattractive for a potential new owner. Who is to say Wilson's family will take less money when they sell the team to a local buyer. My guess is the team will be worth more if it is moved so it will sell more to a potential buyer who wants to move the team.
                      Call it a sky is falling mentality but the pieces are in place unfortunately.

                        I thought you were leaving?
                        You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
