The Buffalo Bills Dick Jauron, making him the first NFL head coach to lose his job this season.
It took ten weeks into the NFL season but we finally have our first fired head coach, Dick Jauron of the Buffalo Bills whose team has slogged its way to 3 wins and 6 losses.
This was Jauron's fourth season with the Bills and not one of them was a winning one, unfortunately for him and Buffalo fans.
Fortunately for the 59-year old Jauron, however, he signed a guaranteed three-year extension to his contract last year for about $3 million a year, according to the Buffalo News. So his lifestyle shouldn't change much, save for all the new free time he now has.
Jauron fate was no doubt sealed by the Bills' Sunday 41-17 loss to the equally feckless Tennessee Titans who are now 3 and 6 themselves.
As NPR's Mike Pesca reports, Jauron holds a dubious NFL record:
Jauron's previous coaching experience included a five year stint as head coach of the Chicago Bears in which he had only one winning season. In fact, no one in NFL history who's coached as many games as Jauron has had as few winning seasons
