Even though he put in one of the dumbest play calls one can make to end a football game, Dick Jauron will be employed in 2009.The Buffalo Bills head coach, who has seen his team lose seven of its last eight games, including an inexplicable 31-27 loss to the Jets on Sunday, signed a three year extension with the ballclub late Monday afternoon.
Jauron is not exactly the model of a winning coach. In four years with the Bears, he had only one winning season, 13-3 in 2005, only to see his team get upended by the Carolina Panthers in the Bears opening playoff game that year. He went 36-48 in those years with Chicago.
In three years with the Bills, he has failed to live up to high expectations. The Bills showed improvement in 2007, winning seven games and looking like a team on the rise with young stars in running back Marshawn Lynch, quarterback Trent Edwards, defensive end Aaron Schobel and receiver Lee Evans.
The Bills got off to a fast start in 2008, opening 5-1 before suffering a string of bad fortune, including two injuries to Edwards. Overall, Jauron is 20-26 with the Bills since the 2006 season.
