Eagles add Dick Jauron as DBs coach | ProFootballTalk.com
"In Philadelphia, Jauron will be charged with coaching up a pass defense that ranked No. 17 overall in 2009. The Eagles have a pair of top-flight cornerbacks in Sheldon Brown and Asante Samuel, as well as a reliable strong safety in Quintin Mikell. Free safety has been a trouble spot."

Gleason: Coming home is special for DeHaven : The Buffalo News
"I'm really looking forward to it," DeHaven said. "I'm looking forward to getting back there and seeing a hockey game. [The Sabres] are still my team. That never changed when I left. If I can watch a little hockey and have a Ted's hot dog, I'm excited."

Tasker likes talent DeHaven inherits - BuffaloBills.com
"The players will feel well prepared for their opponents under Bruce," said Tasker. "He’s a smart schemer, and sharp with a game plan. There were times where we just manhandled opponents because he had a better game plan and we were better prepared and he had us ready for everything that they did."

Kevin Steele will not be Bills’ defensive coordinator : Buffalo Sports Daily
"Steele almost became the University of Tennessee last month to become their defensive coordinator but unexpectedly pulled his name out to return to Clemson. By coincidence Steele changed his mind on the exact same day Chan Gailey became the Buffalo Bills head coach. It led to growing speculation Steele could be Gailey’s choice to run the defense. Not only is Steele not going to be the Bills next defensive coordinator, but according to him he was never contacted by the Bills organization at all."

Jauron hired by Eagles
Report: Jauron hired – Inside The Bills

"Jauron worked with Eagles coach Andy Reid in Green Bay on Mike Holmgren’s staff (1992-94) and becomes the latest member of Buffalo’s former coaching staff to catch on with another team this offseason. Jauron replaces Brian Stewart, who left the Eagles to become the defensive coordinator at the University of Houston."

Quite a come down for Dick Jauron. From head coach of Bills to DBs coach of Eagles per report. Well, then again, maybe not such a come down

Twitter / Scout.com's Adam Caplan
One of the best at coaching that position. RT @Mtrible: @caplannfl how much of an improvement is jauron? or how much of one could he be?

Twitter / Peter King
Strange story of the day: Eagles hire Jauron to coach DBs. I hear he tried for the Princeton head-coaching job and they went elsewhere. Odd.

BillBoard: Jauron landing softly
"This saves the Bills a little bit of money. The Bills still are believed to owe Jauron $3 million for each of the next two years. They now can subtract from that total whatever he's making with the Eagles, which might be in the $300,000 range per year."

Jauron reunites with Peters in Philly - AFC East Blog - ESPN
"The move puts Jauron in the same colors as former Bills left tackle Jason Peters, whose controversial offseason trade coupled with the Bills' reluctance to acquire an adequate replacement played a significant role in their offense's failures. Peters forced his way off the team through a contract standoff. He went to his third Pro Bowl this year. The Bills' offensive line was a jumble of inexperience and injuries."

Moorman credits good coaching – Inside The Bills

Bills punter Brian Moorman, who was named to the league’s All-Decade Team made sure to credit his coaches for his success. "That’s part of the reason why I was chosen," said Moorman. "I had good coaching the last nine seasons in Danny (Smith) and Bobby (April)."

Pro-football-reference.com blog " Blog Archive " All-decade team of the ’00s announced
"While the Chargers' Mike Scifres had another great season in '09, I'm happy with the selection of Moorman. He's been a hidden gem for years for the Bills, and while Saurbrun has been out of the league for a couple of seasons, Moorman set a career high in yards per punt in '09."

Buffalo Bills can't pass on Jimmy Clausen | Democrat and Chronicle

"The Buffalo Bills have the No. 9 overall pick in the NFL draft on April 22, and if they're fortunate, they'll have the opportunity to select Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. If he's available, and the Bills ignore him, it would be a huge mistake."
