Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. said late this afternoon the team would make a decision on the future of head coach Dick Jauron on Wednesday.
Wilson met in Detroit today with Russ Brandon, the Bills' chief operating officer, Tom Modrak, the Bills' vice president of college scouting, and Jeff Littmann, the Bills' treasurer.
"I have nothing definitive tonight to give you," Wilson told The Buffalo News by phone from Detroit. "We had a meeting today. We're going to have a meeting tomorrow and the next day, and then you'll have your answer."
The Bills ended their third straight 7-9 season under Jauron with Sunday's 13-0 loss to the New England Patriots. This was the most disappointing of the three seasons because the Bills lost eight of their last 10 games.
The News and various other media outlets reported in October that Jauron reached agreement on a three-year contract extension with the Bills. However, Wilson refused to comment on that reported deal throughout the remainder of the season and again declined to comment today.
Gasp, can we wait that long? This 2 more days thing means a few things possibly:
a.) They are negotiating a buyout.
b.) Seeing if Jauron will swallow forced changes in assistants and personnel.
c.) The inner circle is listening to public opinion throughout the next 2 days to see what effect bringing Jauron back would have on the bottom line.
d.)Rereading the contract extension for opt out clauses.
e.)Wilson has doctors appointments Tuesday and is busy.
f.) They are getting a plan together to sell to us, the fans, Jauron for another year.
And just in case Wilson, Brandon, Modrak and Littmann are die hard WNY W.C. fans we want Jauron fired. That goes for all 5 people I share season tickets with, my father, coast's father (a long time season ticket holder) and just about anyone else I have encountered in the last 6 weeks.
My money is on e.
