Buffalo news reporting JAURON IS STAYING

http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/536303.html

Dick Jauron is back as the Buffalo Bills head coach.

Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. told The News this afternoon that Jauron has a contract extension with the team.

"Dick's going to be retained," Wilson said from his home in Detroit.

Wilson had no further comment on Jauron but the team will be releasing a statement later today.

Jauron's extension is for three years, sources told The News back in October.

Jauron flew to Detroit today to meet with Wilson.

I am honestly surprised

Marv, you know I wasn’t on the fire Jauron bandwagon but I wasn’t on the retain DJ bandwagon either.

Maybe he will be in the front office. When we have a tenured administrator or teacher who they want to get rid of they promote him or her because of hiring laws instead of firing them…. maybe the same here. We’ll have to wait and see.

BREAKING NEWS

Wilson had no further comment on Jauron to The News but the team released a statement today in which Wilson said: “It is well known that I share many of the fans’ dissatisfaction with our offensive game management. That being said, I believe that this team, at this time, is better served by continuity in the coaching staff rather than a disruptive overhaul. The team played hard all year long and there are many positives to build on. This is not to say that we will be complacent. In my discussions with Dick and our senior football people the issues are recognized and I am confident they will be addressed.”

Wilson added, "I believe in the last few years we have gotten close personnel wise and look forward to another strong draft, more ass

ertive veteran leadership and continued improvement from our young quarterback."

Clueless!!

Continuity in a clueless coaching staff, great decision. This team didn’t play hard all year, if that was the case they wouldn’t have pushed around by Cleveland, SF, the Jets and other crap teams. I’m sick of hearing credit being given to him for the team playing hard, as if it was his doing if they did play hard….

Close personnel wise? You said a few weeks back, Ralphie, that we had no talent….

I have

never seen so many Bills fans this irate.

I will say this and I’m sure we’ll get to it more in the next days but they know about the offensive shortcomings. I am guessing changes will be made at OC. The inept gameday management on the offensive side of the ball needs to be addressed. I do think a new OC, and splashes in FA and the draft and come August hope will spring eternal.
