Worst coach in Buffalo


Former Buffalo Bills general manager Marv Levy hired Dick Jauron in the winter of 2006 after the sudden resignation of Mike Mularkey.


Jauron began his coaching career as a defensive backs coach with the Bills in 1985. After successful stints in Green Bay and Jacksonville, Jauron became head coach of the Chicago Bears, where he was named AP Coach of the Year in 2001.


Despite the 2001 accolade, Jauron has become a notorious name amongst NFL head coaches. In 10 years, he has compiled a miserable 57-76 career record, including just one winning season and a single post-season appearance.


Jauron's reputation as a soft and conservative coach has lived up to expectations in Buffalo. Jauron has finished each of the past three seasons 7-9 and has failed to bring the Bills to the post-season. His indecisiveness and atrocious game management have brought nothing but mediocrity to an organization that hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade.


Ignoring the community's outcries to replace their incompetent leader, the Bills granted Jauron a contract extension following the 2008 season.


Honorable mention: Dick Jauron (Yes, he's that bad.)
