Its a slight promotion in title. He goes from Director of Player Personnel in Carolina to VP of Pro Personnel in Buffalo. His responsibilities are essentially the same I believe in both positions. Even Beane commented that it was pretty much a lateral move for Gaine, which makes it exciting that he chose to come to Buffalo. He obviously wanted to be here and believes in the direction the organization is going in.

Love this hire! He has been an assistant GM in the past, he was the Director of Player Personnel at Houston and chose to leave them in a lateral move to come to Buffalo! He has put together a good roster in Houston. I know they play in a weak division but they lost their QB last year and their best player in JJ Watt and they still won their division for the second year in a row. He is well respected around the league and we almost hired him to be our GM and we still got him anyway. Really liking the way our front office is coming together. Hopefully, it will translate onto the field.

Well played

Exactly. They should make a good duo and now people who were concerned about Beane's lack of scouting experience can take solace in the fact they hired an assistant GM with about 16 years of pro scouting experience. Since Schoen and Beane worked together in Carolina, they should be on same page on what kind of team they want to build.

Joe Schoen and Brandon Beane worked together for 7 seasons in Carolina. Schoen has extensive background in the scouting department and is someone Beane trusts to be his right hand man. Nobody knows if their vision will be successful here in Buffalo, but considering that McDermott, Beane, and Schoen are all coming from successful franchises there is reason to be optimistic. At the very least, it finally seems like our front office and coaching staff will be on the same page moving forward. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/5/14/15637530/buffalo-bills-hire-joe-schoen-assistant-general-manager-brandon-beane
