Mike Shanahan Meets With Bills

Yardbarker says that former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan met with the exec’s from the Buffalo Bills Monday night for several hours. The bills are without a head coach since they fired Dick Jauron last week. Funny how firing a head coach mid-season will make you desperate for a quick replacement, ain’t it?
Shanahan said the meeting was a good one. This is apparently more than Mike Holmgren, Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher each must have thought, since they are all rumored to have rejected “potential offers” to coach the team.
Here’s the part that will undoubtedly tick Jauron off, though. The Bills would be “willing to give Shanahan a contract worth as much as $50 million spread over 5-years” whereas Jauron only made $3.5 million. Gosh, if they’d have paid him more, perhaps he would have done a better job? Just saying.

by saying that paying dick jauron more money could have possibly made him coach better is like saying by paying the guy who wrote this article more money he would write better, its not gonna happen because they both suck. its not the money that makes a coach good, its the good coach that makes the good money. besides that cowher has made it a point that he is not speaking with ANY teams until the regular season expires, jon Gruden is owned by CBS, and holmegren is looking for a front office job rather then a head-coaching job.
