There is no unpleasantness in Bills fan land. This is a loooooong time coming. Obviously, it should have been done a long time ago and is embarrassing for Jauron, but he’s a good person and will land on his feet as an assistant or DB coach somewhere and is probably relieved that he doesn’t have to deal with the sh!t he has been dealing with for 4 years.

Next, a real GM????
