My Take
Dick Jauron commands my respect as a rare two-life football man. Born in Peoria in 1950, he went from Yale to eight NFL seasons as a safety with the Lions and Bengals, then reinvented himself as a head coach for the Bears and Bills. Doing both at a high level demands grit most never summon. He passed away in 2025, but I keep thinking about how he carried both Ivy League intelligence and field-level toughness. I tend to honor the people who sustain an organization from within rather than chase the spotlight, and Jauron was one of them.
