Cleveland Browns will hire Dick Jauron as defensive coordinator, source says

 

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns are expected to hire former Philadelphia Eagles secondary coach Dick Jauron, 60, as their defensive coordinator soon, a league source told The Plain Dealer.

 

One of the other leading candidates for the Browns job, Dave Wannstedt, accepted a job today with the Buffalo Bills to be their assistant head coach/linebackers coach, according to reports.

 

Jauron formerly was the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears. He is the first coordinator hired by new head coach Pat Shurmur.

 

The Browns had also interviewed former Cardinals defensive coordinator Billy Davis for the position and still might offer him a job on the staff.

 

Jauron was also a candidate for the Eagles defensive coordinator position.

 

Jauron was a defensive coordinator with Jacksonville from 1995-98 before being named head coach of the Bears from 1999-2003.

 

He became defensive coordinator of the Lions in 2004 and was named interim head coach for the last five games of the 2005 season.

 

He was named Bills head coach in 2006 and held the job through 2009.

 

His record as a head coach is 60-82.

 

Jauron was a safety with the Lions and Bengals from 1973-80 and finished with 25 career interceptions.

Just read it. Sounds more like they are just hoping to get a call back. Nothing more. I hope we get Jauron. I wanted him more than Wannstedt anyway, but we have to compete with the Eagles. Shit we just lost a guy to the Bills so I am not putting to much into taking Jauron from the Eagles.

 

Looks Like Jauron will be announced as the hire today at noon. It is a done deal.

I'll remain skeptical until & unless the official word comes down. Jauron DID commit to talking to Reid if the Brown's offered. That, coupled with the Eagles firing of their DC shortly after Jauron's interview with the Browns was announced worries me that they may match. Hopefully speculation is correct & he comes aboard. We'll see.

The 3 - 4 was just not working here. We never got better with it.

 

When did we have time?

with so many other needs on this team past and present its kinda hard to get all the pieces in one shot.

Then you have savage who screwed this team up with his drafts and free agency.

look at the contenders year after year. Looks like more are 3-4 defense. Plus look how many are switching to the

3-4. Its versatility says why.

green bay made the switch this season looks like it worked out well for them. Why?

And when did they spend $ or a decent draft pick for a 3-4? 2010 with fujita.

Come on now I hope you don't say willie or shawn rogers He's a slob and willie was way past his prime

 

We tried putting a circle where a square fit with Corey Williams. And while I don't particularly like that we're switching because it's basically starting over for the front 7, but at this point, I have to say, I don't see any harm in it. We don't have the personnel for either, so it makes sense to switch now if we're going to switch. But it's easier to fill the holes in a 4-3 than it is in a 3-4.

Well either way I don't see dicky J being a good cordinator for us hope im wrong but once again were rebuilding after a couple years. Seems like just the hottest ticket out their to be had and its not very impressive to me. Any bets on where our defense will finish next year im going with 27th overall even with the cake schedule.

Two year plans seldom work when you have a rookie head coach and rookie coordinators...

 

Where would the Steelers be today if Rooney kicked Noll to the curb after 2 years of horrible football.... The smartest thing that Tomlin did when he was hired by the Steelers was to keep the coaching staff in place and continue with the system....

 

I'm as frustrated as anyone on this board, maybe more since I live in western Pa. but every year I'm optimistic only to become frustrated again by mid season....

 

I hope this regime is allowed to have a 5 year plan, stick with a system and draft fast, atheletic players to compete on the field.. I hate losing but would rather lose with young players learning the ropes rather than with over the hill free agents making a boat load of benjamins while representing my team....

 

We went through the San Francisco, Miami, New England and Jets pipeline and now will see former eagles players wearing our colors but to me, success will only be realized through the draft... Over the past 10 years how many of our #1 picks are still on the roster...

 

I'm more fortunate than most on this board, in that, I lived through the 50's and 60's domination by the Browns... As soon as one of these super bowl teams play for the championship 9 times in 10 years (yes our Brownies did that) then I'll give them some props...

 

Put a system in place, stick with it and get players that can play...................

 

Peace

Little difference between Davis and Dickless, both of their defenses are historically a joke.

 

 

 

 

 

Dickless Jauron isn't even a pimple on Wannestedts ass when it comes to defense. Wannestedt: Top 15 defenses 4 years out of 5 as DC, top 10 three out of those five and #1 once. Dickless: Bottomhalf of the NFL can't get it done defense all but one year, NEVER breaking top 10 at any time.

 

It's a shit hire, no doubt about it. We're going to flop over to the outdated 4-3 with a DC that sucks at running the 4-3, great.

You're a closet Steeler fan aren't ya? Take your negativity elsewhere.

one trend I am noticing...It must be an off shoot from the rough time we have had since coming back into the league, some Browns fans have become the biggest bitchers. Nothing is ever right,nothing can ever work, no one is ever good enough and on and on. Some of you folks need to run,not walk to your nearest mental health facility and get a scrip for something. Some of you need to give the new regime a shot and stop crying that the sky is falling at every hire, if your crystal balls are so fuc*king good why aren't you in the NFL leading this franchise? Hell why aren't you in the Bahamas living the high life on your Ohio lottery winnings? I'll tell ya why,cause neither you,nor you,nor I can tell the fuc*king future. Relax and lets see how the draft goes and then camp,and finally the season.

I think we had a coach who was going to build a winner but our czar wouldn't have received any of the credit, he would have been forced to sit and watch it. So I will stop bitching when I see some serious production. It would have been faster to keep the coaching staff and add players than to blow it up and rebuild according to a new offense and defense.
