Report: Bills fire Jauron

Former Bears head coach Dick Jauron was fired Tuesday as the head coach of the Buffalo Bills, according to published reports.

Jauron, who coached the Bears from 1999 to 2003, was 3-6 with the Bills this season. The Bills were blown out, 41-17, by the Tennessee Titans on Sunday to prompt the move.

The 59-year-old former NFL safety went 24-33 (.421 winning percentage) in almost four seasons as the coach of the Bills. He was 35-45 (.438) in five seasons as the Bears head coach, which included a 13-3 record in 2001 and losing records in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003.

NFL.com was among the first sites to report Jauron's firing.
