In what is sure to be the most unpopular move in the history of Buffalo Bills football, the team fired Dick Jauron on Tuesday... is a sentence no one will type this afternoon.

The Bills are done with Jauron, and while people will tell you not to have fun with a man losing his job -- especially in "these tough economic times" -- this particular man made millions of dollars coaching football, and he wasn't even very good at it, so develop a sense of humor if it bothers you.

What did he do wrong? Well, first off, he didn't win. His offense was abysmal and when you rifle through coordinators like Jon Gosselin through Ed Hardy tee-shirts, well, in the immortal words of college hockey fans to the opposing goalie after a goal, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Jauron watched Steve Fairchild and Turk Schonert fail, and Alex Van Pelt struggle mightily, under his watch. Fairchild's Colorado State squad has regressed under his watch (3-7 this year after a bowl appearance a year ago), while Schonert is unemployed. Good picks, Dick!

It's not just coordinators. Three quarterbacks were garbage. Four offensive lines produced little. His team was as injured-plagued as any in the league. That's not necessarily snake-bitten, as Pro Football Talk said. It could be the guys were unready to play football. Maybe he forgot to tell them to stretch. Whoops!

7-9, 7-9, 7-9-, 3-6. See ya.

After he was fired, I tweeted: "I'd go after Bill Cowher, then Bill Cowher and if neither are available: Bill Cowher." I've been told this won't happen because this isn't what Ralph Wilson does. True, but he also usually doesn't fire his coach in season and approve the firing of his offensive coordinator right before the season. Can a tiger change its stripes? No, but it can temporarily lose its bearings and fall into a vat of orange paint? If you provide the vat, and years of losing could've just done that for Wilson. We don't need another "almost" coach, much less a "could be" coach.

As Bills fans, we have to live in a fun world right now. Here's something I guarantee is going to happen: you're going to hear that the players love playing for Perry Fewell and that, to a man, they believe he deserves a shot to be the head coach. Why? Because they are football players and that's what they do. Don't even think of buying it unless the Bills go 7-0 or 6-1 or even 5-2 with the same injury-riddled troops Jauron couldn't rally. In that case, it will truly have been solely DJ's fault.

I have news for you: it isn't actually all him, but the guy had to go. No, it's not his fault Leodis McKelvin fumbled away hope in Week One, and it's not his fault Trent Edwards became gunshy after a promising start. The personnel may not even be his fault, but let's be clear -- the best thing that could happen to this team is a clean house. An actual GM to go with actual powers. You could even call him "general manager" and let the other guy do what he does well. He can still keep his title, too, if he wants.

So feel free to be happy, and embrace the opportunity to speculate. Think about what "Hire Bill Cowher" parody is your favorite idea: Snap!'s "I've Got the Cowher", Huey Lewis & The News' "The Cowher of Love" or Bob Dylan's famous "All Along The Coach Cowher."

Maybe you think Jon Gruden will break his new, multi-year ESPN contract -- It'd be cool, but he won't.

Maybe you think the Bills will give Tony Dungy and Mike Vick a shot -- it's possible.

Maybe you want a guy who looks like ex-President George W. Bush and want to go after Mike Shanahan -- I would've been all for it before a high school kid and a guy with a neckbeard took essentially the same team and started 6-0. Now, I'm just okay with the idea.

Maybe you want Marty Schottenheimer -- If he chokes in the playoffs, at least you're in the playoffs (They happen after the regular season if you're good enough. We should start calling them the "irregular season" here).

Maybe you want Pete Carroll, Mike Holmgren or Bugs Bunny. Let's talk about it. The Buffalo Bills have taken the very-near impossibility of making the playoffs and replaced it with the idea of an actual future. Huzzah!

Pardon my glee, but the Bills officially need a head coach, and I'm pleased. By next year we could be talking about Colt McCoy running an offense under Bill Cowher while Brandon Spikes learns his trade as a middle linebacker in the NFL. Make it a mad libs, I don't care.

Here ya go: 2010 Buffalo Bills general manager __________ selected his new head coach, ________. The new coach said he plans on dedicating his resources to drafting quarterback ____________ and promising defensive stud _____________.

Best of luck to a solid, nice man in Dick Jauron. Now, let's get back to the business of winning -- we checked out for lunch almost a decade ago.
