Buffalo Bills and head coach Dick Jauron agree to part ways, may already have a prospect
"I just wasn't feeling the desire to coach any longer. I'd rather settle down..."
The Buffalo Bills have made it official: Dick Jauron is no longer head coach. Both parties agreed to part ways, citing that Jauron lost his desire to coach and that Buffalo wanted to look in a different direction. Jauron did not speak ill of his now ex-team, commenting that "It had nothing...I repeat, nothing to do with the organization. It was all me. I just wasn't feeling the desire to coach any longer. I'd rather settle down and spend time with my family now. Bob understood this and agreed to let me off my contract."
Bob Baines, owner of the Buffalo Bills, may already have his replacement.
"I ran into an aspiring coach walking around Sloan, New York the other day. And boy, he was an interesting prospect. We went out to dinner and he told me about his childhood, how he became a coach, and his current job and how he wants to move up to the NFL. He might just get that chance."
The Bills have been mediocre-to-underwhelming for nearly a decade and have yet to find that one head coach that can take them to the next level. Baines did not go into detail about his prospect but he seemed enthusiastic about the possibility of hiring him.
