I love the Bills' move of hiring Dick Jauron as their new head coach. He is a defensive guru and a brilliant man, Jauron got a raw deal in Chicago. He never really had a chance to stay with the Bears long term when the club hired Jerry Angelo during the Jauron regime. Angelo wanted to hire his own man. And Jauron made a good hire with Steve Fairchild as his offensive coordinator. In talking to the new coach on Monday, Jauron says he will have an active voice in shaping the roster. This is a good thing as players seem to like playing for him.

Re: Comment about Jauron on Fox Sports
what qualifications do you need to be deemed a "defensive guru"?
apparently having a good defense at some point in history isnt one of the requirements."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie HoweComment

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.
In his "glory year" (2001) the teams they kept to 12.7 (13 pts) or below were:
Vikings: #24 in points scored, 5-11 record
Atlanta: #23 in points scored, 7-9 record
Cards: #20 in points scored, 7-9 record
Cincy: #31 in points scored, 6-10 record
Vikings: #24 in points scored, 5-11 record
Lions: #26 in points scored, 2-14 record
Bucs: #15 in points scored (although 25th overall off ranking), 9-7 record
Lions: #26 in points scored, 2-14 record
Jags: #22 in points scored, 6-10 record
So, that is 9 games against losing teams (except tampa) who had an average points scored ranking of #23.4. Not to mention the Browns scored 21 on them and they were #25 in points scored with an overall off ranking of 30.
One season of shutting down poor offenses is not nearly enough to convince me.
Hmmm...yeah, I can see why he's considered a defensive guru.Comment
