Dick Jauron is staying in Buffalo for another year, and much to the dismay of common sense he is signed until 2011 even though he is the sole reason that the Bills are not in the playoffs. This team has the young talent to make the playoffs, but seem to be missing one integral piece of the ever changing puzzle. This piece has become easily identifiable over the past 10 games, with things like game management, the easiest training camp in the NFL, and an attitude that seems more grandparent like then head coach like. For nine years the Bills have been no better then the Detroit Lions, I’m serious. It shows me that to Ralph Wilson, 7-9 is good enough, and that’s what separates the Bills from other, playoff bound, organizations. Eric Mangini was fired from the Jets after going 9-7, but if Dick Jauron went 9-7 Ralph would most likely make him coach for life, speaking of which, former Denver Broncos “coach for life” Mike Shanahan was given the axe after finishing 8-8 and missing the playoffs for three straight years. Imagine how much trouble very Bills coach would be in if Ralph Wilson followed the same standards.
So what is the answer? The Bills play dead men football with an uninspired coach and a bunch of people who don’t care about winning unless they get paid. Who could possibly be the Buffalo savior if not Jauron? Well if I could just steal Cleveland’s thunder for a second [and who hasn’t been doing that in the last 40 or so years] and make a call to one Bill Cowher , and officially declare it Cowher time in Buffalo. It makes perfect sense , Cowher wants to go to a team with a young base already built. Enter the three headed monster of Edwards, Evans, and Lynch who are all three not yet in their primes. He has a team with a playoff caliber core, and if Ralph Wilson has any brains left in his 90 year old head he will give full personal duties to Cowher. Who would you rather have picking your players, Russ Brandon or Bill Cowher? I would pick the ladder. Cowher also expressed an interest in going to a city that he likes, and while I don’t know his personal feelings on Buffalo as a city, if you can live in Pittsburgh you come to appreciate a city like Buffalo. A tough, grind it out, cold city. If you like Pittsburgh then you will probably find Buffalo just as charming. While Cowher has not expressed interest in coaching in 2009 we have seen sparks of intrigue at mentions of the Browns and Jets, but the Bills are a more perfect fit. The Jets are too old, the Browns to bad, the Bills are a piece away. Bill Cowher will put these guys through a real training camp, you know, one with two a days and stuff. If you notice the Bills last three 7-9 seasons they have all shown bursts of unbridled potential, the first two years it came after the half way point when the Bills would play flawless after a disastrous start, and then this year they started 5-1 before going 2-8 in the last 10. God looking at that makes me just want to throw up in my hand and throw it at someone. The Loins weren’t much worse in the last ten, and if your compared to the Lions twice in the same post you know something is wrong. The Bills haven’t had the strength to play a full season in the last three years. It does not take a genius to realize that the Bills have one of the easiest training camps in the NFL while I bet there are war stories not as gruesome as some of the stuff that comes out of a Cowher camp. That would be what the Bills need, someone to remind them that it has been nine god damn years since they made the playoffs.
Mike Shanahan would also be a nice fit, he’s a guy who will yell when you need to yell, and act professional when the time dictates, he is another guy that Ralph is going to want to give full responsibilities to. There is a reoccurring theme that I’ve noticed in this post, the fact that Russ Brandon is NOT the right guy to give control of an NFL franchise. That’s all I’ll say about that, other then GET HIS ASS OUT OF THERE FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! Now I’m done. When I herd that a decision would be made on Wednesday I was almost excited, but then they made an announcement 24 hours before they where supposed to, what eats at me is that I thought the Bills would take after the model of our president elect and focus on change. What has happened in the last nine years that would make Ralph think his football model is working? Why on God’s green earth would you not change things up? It has been nine long years, change should have happened a while ago.
Just a thought.
