  • Cleveland Browns will hire Dick Jauron as defensive coordinator, source says

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns are expected to hire former Philadelphia Eagles secondary coach Dick Jauron, 60, as their defensive coordinator soon, a league source told The Plain Dealer.

    One of the other leading candidates for the Browns job, Dave Wannstedt, accepted a job today with the Buffalo Bills to be their assistant head coach/linebackers coach, according to reports.

    Jauron formerly was the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears. He is the first coordinator hired by new head coach Pat Shurmur.

    The Browns had also interviewed former Cardinals defensive coordinator Billy Davis for the position and still might offer him a job on the staff.

    Jauron was also a candidate for the Eagles defensive coordinator position.

    Jauron was a defensive coordinator with Jacksonville from 1995-98 before being named head coach of the Bears from 1999-2003.

    He became defensive coordinator of the Lions in 2004 and was named interim head coach for the last five games of the 2005 season.

    He was named Bills head coach in 2006 and held the job through 2009.

    His record as a head coach is 60-82.

    Jauron was a safety with the Lions and Bengals from 1973-80 and finished with 25 career interceptions.

  • We are running out of potential experienced DCs if jauron doesnt sign on we will be down to guys like davis which is not good..

  • Just read it. Sounds more like they are just hoping to get a call back. Nothing more. I hope we get Jauron. I wanted him more than Wannstedt anyway, but we have to compete with the Eagles. Shit we just lost a guy to the Bills so I am not putting to much into taking Jauron from the Eagles.

    Looks Like Jauron will be announced as the hire today at noon. It is a done deal.

    Just saw that and thank you jesus.

  • Good deal! One down one to go...

  • I'll remain skeptical until & unless the official word comes down. Jauron DID commit to talking to Reid if the Brown's offered. That, coupled with the Eagles firing of their DC shortly after Jauron's interview with the Browns was announced worries me that they may match. Hopefully speculation is correct & he comes aboard. We'll see.

  • So I guess we will be running a 4-3 defense now..... great.

  • I feel a bit better . This changing things around here year after year has taken it's toll on my outlook .

    The 3 - 4 was just not working here. We never got better with it.

  • This was who I wanted as DC all along. Thank God we didn't hire porn stache.

  • i like this hire better than the HC hire.

    When did we have time?

    with so many other needs on this team past and present its kinda hard to get all the pieces in one shot.

    Then you have savage who screwed this team up with his drafts and free agency.

    look at the contenders year after year. Looks like more are 3-4 defense. Plus look how many are switching to the

    3-4. Its versatility says why.

    green bay made the switch this season looks like it worked out well for them. Why?

  • When did we have time?

    Oh, I don't know. 🙄

    Maybe somewhere in the SIX YEARS since we've had the system.

    And when did they spend $ or a decent draft pick for a 3-4? 2010 with fujita.

    Come on now I hope you don't say willie or shawn rogers He's a slob and willie was way past his prime

  • Im ok with it.

    We tried putting a circle where a square fit with Corey Williams. And while I don't particularly like that we're switching because it's basically starting over for the front 7, but at this point, I have to say, I don't see any harm in it. We don't have the personnel for either, so it makes sense to switch now if we're going to switch. But it's easier to fill the holes in a 4-3 than it is in a 3-4.
