Dick Jauron, a longtime NFL player and coach who led the Chicago Bears to the playoffs in 2001, died Saturday at 74. The Bears confirmed his death just a day before the Philadelphia Eagles faced Kansas City in the Super Bowl, AP reported.
Jauron is a two-sport star at Yale and chose football over baseball after being drafted by the Detroit Lions and the St. Louis Cardinals. He spent five seasons as a defensive back with Detroit and three more with Cincinnati before retiring in 1980.
His coaching career started five years later as a defensive backs coach with the Buffalo Bills. He later coached in Green Bay. In 1995, he became Jacksonville’s defensive coordinator, and his success there led to a head coaching opportunity with the Bears.
Jauron guided Chicago to the NFC North title in 2001 and earned AP Coach of the Year honors. The Bears lost in the divisional round to Reid’s Eagles, and Jauron was fired after the 2003 season. He later served as Detroit’s interim coach before taking over in Buffalo, where he never posted a winning season.
