Do players on the Bills actually listen to Dick Jauron’s press conferences? I’d guess they’re doing other things, like hitting the showers, or driving home to their families.

It’s too much praise if we’re assuming that Jauron has the same things to say to his team behind closed doors as he does when he addresses the media. My assumption has always been that Jauron defends his team publically and actually coaches them when we’re not listening, which happens to be like 99% of the time. You’re assuming that since Jauron doesn’t convey dissatisfaction during press conferences and doesn’t rip into guys on the sidelines that he’s never critical of his players and I can’t imagine that an NFL head coach could actually be that bad.

“Anyway you get 20pts, anyway that you can get a win is fine”. I understand the statement but not week in and week out.

Does he say that when they score 20 points, but lose? Because unless he does, to me, it looks like the kind of thing that most coaches would say after an ugly win.

The reality is the Bills have not found a consistent way to win yet this year, so I think he is probably telling the players, “Look, we will figure out a way to win, but for now do whatever you have to in order to get the W.”

Anyway, just some outside perspective on it.

i don’t have any issue with Jauron and his press conferences. are they ever note-worthy, no, but that’s intention on his part. Jauron probably isn’t as nice in a setting where the press isn’t allowed (practices).
my guess is the position coaches are the one’s who dole out tough love when needed. they are the ones who know the players in and out.

I’m guessing he has critical things to say to them in private, and in the locker room. That is probably another reason players like him, is because is not prone to public bashing, and that is probably another reason the players don’t throw him under the bus as well.
He is a teacher and a mentor….and while his coaching on gameday is questionable, and for whatver reason we are playing at a low level….injuries?….I think Dicky J does criticize his players in a mature and dignified manner.

This post was not about his press conferences nor him needing to scream at anybody.

And by the way, if a coach says one thing to the media and another to the players then he’s just a lyar and a 2-face. There needs to be some consistency in the message.

And that is exactly why the players love him.

What Jauron lacks is the ability to convey his dissatisfaction but in a positive way, he needs to show the players of this team that he is not content with the way we are playing and that he expects better, that he expects improvement in certain areas.

I couldn’t agree more! While watching the press conference, all I could think about is how he should be stating the positive, but then say “but we got to do a lot of things better to beat the teams ahead.” His team has pulled out two ugly road victories, and hey we’ll take it, but he needs to change his attitude stat. You don’t lead teams into the playoffs with the attitude portrayed in the statement below… It is basically reinforcing mediocre performances, and the Bills need to snap out of that mediocre nightmare they have been in the past decade if they think they are ever going to make the playoffs!

“Anyway you get 20pts, anyway that you can get a win is fine”

Its pretty simple gentlemen. He is one of the worst HC with over 50 games coached in the league ever just look at his overall record. Its just that simple there is no need to go back and forth, that’s why they keep track of those things so they can properly judge things. His terrible and we need to part ways with him eithier now or at the end of the season.
