Dick Jauron was handed a pink slip today after coaching the Bills to an abysmal 3-6 start. It is the team’s worst record through 9 games since Jauron took over in 2006. Jauron coached the Bills to three consecutive 7-9 seasons prior to 2009, but Buffalo has lost 14 of their last 19 games.
His offenses consistently finished in or near the bottom third of the NFL in scoring. This season the offense was joined by the defense, currently ranking 28th in points scored and 22nd in points allowed.
Side Note
Running back Fred Jackson, who currently has 693 yards from scrimmage, has been the sole bright spot in a season murkied by the addition of Terrell Owens. Combined, Owens and Jackson have just three touchdowns. Fun fact: Owens has more rushing touchdowns (1) than Jackson, who, like most of the offense, has yet to find the endzone on the ground.
