ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

[patmoran2006]

On ESPN's "The Herd" show; host Colin Cowerd (whatever the F his name is) just gave out his awards. For coach of the year, he mentioned Jack Del Rio, and then said Dick Jauron is his coach of the year.

Just heard it... and IF... BIG IF... we make the playoffs... YES, I agree.

If not, then, I'd give it to Rio or even Bellichek.

Re: ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

why is he doing this with 3 weeks left in the season? seems a little premature.

Re: ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

Hes definately gotta be in the top 3 selections considering he lost 3/4 of his players on an already somewhat weak team, had a tough schedule, and dealt with a QB circus. Through it all, he has us fighting for a playoff spot which would be even closer to a reality if it wasnt for two field goals as time expired

Really? Does he have 13 players on IR? And most of the season many starters missed a game here and a game there. Winning record with a rookie QB. Id say Jauron has done alot better job. Crennell has been there longer than Jauron has.

Bellicheck.... I realize they are undefeated and may end up so,,,, but there are coaches doing really well with half the talent BB has.

Re: ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

I would consider Gruden for COY. He runs a great team and system in Tampa and they are having a pretty good year.

I would also consider Mike McCarthy who turned the pack around and back to glory days or even better.

Other possibilities...

Brad Childress (especially if they make the playoffs)

Jeff Fisher (the future looked bleak for the Titans but they have been solid)

Hypocrite. Coward blasted the Bills for the Jauron hire and kept the Sunshine Boys( Wilson,Marv ) bit alive for months last year. He is such an A-Hole.

Re: ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

I know Gruden will get consideration. Tampa had a rough year in '06. They were more devastated by injuries than Buffalo or Miami this season. I think much of Tampa's improvement is due to the fact that Tampa has stayed far healthier, as opposed to genius level coaching on Gruden's part. He's definitely a good coach though.

Im giving it to McCarthey

Re: ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

Obviously this game has playoff implications but I think this game also decides COY.

Re: ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

You think his name is even known if we didnt have our primetime games?

I think it's great we had the primetime, we got out players out there, they're known, and Buffalo is known as a tough team at home, despite losing the way we did, both games. We got some respect, wouldve gotten ALOT more if we won but hey...

Without the primetime games, Coach Dick would just be a name people would use for Bellichick.

I nominate Bobby Petrino!

Re: ESPN's "The Herd": Jauron coach of the year

Jauron's done a good-to-great job so far this year, but there are others out there that deserve the award before him at this point in the season.

McCarthy or Phillips would be my choices, but if the Bills make the play-offs it would be hard not to give DJ as much consideration as them.
