NewEraDawg Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 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.

Harry Buffalo Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 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.

Zombo Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Jauron is a much better get than Wanndestadt IMO. In fact, he took Wanndestadt's so-so defense in Chichago and turned it into a great one in 2001. His teams and defenses, have always been tough and disciplined. And they seem to get lots of turnovers. Always been a Jauron fan. Wandestadt has a gay mustache and I don't want to learn to spell his name correctly.

Canton Mike Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 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. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the head coach for the Buffalo Bills from 2006 until November 2009. Jauron has previously held head coaching positions with the Chicago Bears and, on an interim basis, with the Detroit Lions. Jauron was named the AP Coach of the Year in 2001 after leading the Bears to a 13-3 record, but this was his only winning season as a head coach in the NFL.

In football, he was a Parade All-American selection as a senior, and was featured in the November 1968 issue of Sport magazine as Teenage Athlete Of The Month. He has been honored as one of the top ten all-time Massachusetts high school football players by the Boston Globe.[2] [edit] College Jauron rushed for 2,947 yards at Yale, setting a school record that stood from 1973 to 2000,[3] and was three times named to the All-Ivy League First Team, the first Yale football athlete to be so honored. His school-record streak of 16 consecutive 100-yard rushing games was not broken until 2006.[4] Jauron was awarded the Nils V. "Swede" Nelson Award for sportsmanship following his junior season[5] and the Bulger Lowe Award, given to the best Division I-A/I-AA player in New England, after his senior season.[6] [edit] Professional After graduating from college, Jauron was selected in the fourth round of the 1973 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. He was also drafted as a shortstop by baseball's St. Louis Cardinals in the 25th round of the 1973 MLB Draft.[7] Jauron chose the NFL, and started at free safety as a rookie for the Lions. He was named to the 1974 Pro Bowl in his second season after leading the NFC in punt return average. Jauron played with the Lions for five seasons (1973–1977) and the Cincinnati Bengals for three seasons (1978–1980). He finished his playing career with 25 interceptions and two touchdowns.[8] [edit] Coaching career [edit] National Football League [edit] Assistant coach Jauron began his coaching career in the NFL in 1985 as the Buffalo Bills defensive backs coach. He was offered the position by Bills defensive coordinator Hank Bullough, who was the Bengals defensive coordinator when Jauron was a player. After one season with the Bills, Jauron was named the defensive backs coach for the Green Bay Packers. He worked with the team for eight seasons, serving under three different head coaches: Forrest Gregg, Lindy Infante, and Mike Holmgren. Jauron became the defensive coordinator for the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995 at the invitation of then-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin, whom he coached with at Green Bay. The Jaguars made the playoffs in three of Jauron's four seasons with the team, including an appearance in the 1996 AFC Championship Game. Following his first head-coaching job, Jauron served as the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions in 2004 and the first 11 games of the 2005 season before being named the team's interim head coach. [edit] Chicago Bears Jauron became the 12th head coach in Chicago Bears history on January 23, 1999, when he was hired to replace Dave Wannstedt, who was fired after two consecutive 4–12 seasons. Jauron coached the Bears for five seasons (1999–2003), finishing with a 35–45 regular season record and one playoff appearance. In his first two seasons, the Bears finished last in the NFC Central with 6–10 and 5–11 records. Jauron, however, led the greatest turnaround in team history during his third season. In their 13-3 2001 campaign, Chicago finished 8-0 in games decided by seven points or less, including back-to-back overtime victories. Jauron was named the 2001 AP Coach of the Year and became the third coach in team history to record at least 13 wins in a season, joining George Halas and Mike Ditka.[9] Current Bears head coach Lovie Smith joined that group following the Bears' 13-3 regular season in 2006. After earning their first division title in 11 years, however, Chicago lost a home game to the Philadelphia Eagles, 33-19, in the NFC Divisional Playoffs.[10] The Bears did not return to the playoffs under Jauron, finishing 4-12 and 7-9 in his last two seasons with the team. He was fired by the Bears after the 2003 season and replaced by current head coach Lovie Smith.[11] [edit] Detroit Lions Jauron was then hired by the Detroit Lions as a defensive coordinator. He was promoted to interim head coach of the Lions on November 28, 2005, after the mid-season firing of Steve Mariucci.[12] Detroit was 4-7 when Jauron took over and won only one of their last five games, finishing the season 5-11. Although Jauron was one of many candidates who interviewed for the head coaching position after the season, he was passed over for Rod Marinelli.[13] [edit] Buffalo Bills Jauron was named the 14th head coach in Buffalo Bills history on January 23, 2006, following the resignation of Mike Mularkey.[14] He has led the Bills to three consecutive 7-9 records, finishing respectively third, second and fourth in the AFC East. In 2008 the team started 5-1, but ended the season on a 2-8 skid. Bills owner Ralph Wilson announced on December 30, 2008, that Jauron will be brought back for the 2009 season despite the expiration of his three-year contract.[15] On the morning of Friday, September 4, 2009, Jauron fired his offensive coordinator, Turk Schonert, in a morning meeting before the regular season began. Two different viewpoints emerged, Jauron stating in a press conference the reason for his firing was a "lack of productivity", while Schonert claimed that Jauron told him that he "had too many formations, too many plays", and that he "didn't simplify it to his liking." [16] Schonert was replaced the same day by former Buffalo Bills quarterback and then quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt.[17] After taking over, Van Pelt brought back the no-huddle offense, in the form of Jim Kelly's "K-Gun" offense that led the team to four straight Super Bowls in the 1990s. Due to the declining performance of the Bills and despite player support for Jauron, many Buffalo fans wanted to see the removal of the coach. By using social networking sites such as Facebook, many fans have raised money for a digital billboard reading "It's Time to Clean House, Ralph" on the I-190 extension of the I-90 thruway to Buffalo. .[18] On November 17, 2009, Jauron was relieved of his coaching duties by the Buffalo Bills as announced by owner Ralph Wilson.[19] [edit] Philadelphia Eagles On February 2, 2010, Jauron was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as a senior assistant and defensive backs coach.

Zombo Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 So Jauron played for Paul Brown's Bengals, Coached under Mike Holmgren and Any Reid .... perfect fit, no? He's a Yale man, and he had solid defenses in Chicago and Buffalo. I like this fit. Seems we are going the "smart" route instead of splashy names. I like a smart defense. With an accurate passing offense. And huge holes for Hillis and Hardesty. I'm ready for the season! Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Erie Dawg Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 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.

daddybull1 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 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 T.Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erie Dawg Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's a shit hire, no doubt about it.

BrownsFan4Evr Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 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.

MoonlitKnight Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
