Jerry Jabber Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If Schwartz is not chosen as the next Bills HC, how likely will the new coach keep Schwartz aboard as DC? I would really hope they keep the defense intact, considering how much the defensive players love playing for Schwartz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Why would he leave--to be DC somewhere else where they don't have Pro Bowlers at 3 of the front 4 positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Obviously hacketts gone so Schwartz is the question mark. Not sure he bolts if he's not HC however he may bolt simply because he doesn't like the new HC. One thing DM had going for him .... perhaps only thing .... is that he could get quality AC's to work for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 He's under contract. He can't go elsewhere unless it is a HC position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Bill Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think the question was how likely it is that he will leave voluntarily. It was: how likely is it that the new HC keeps him? I hope they do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Says Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The assistants are under contract thru 2015, but Schwarz,for some reason,thru 2016. The new HC, (if it's not him)might very well want to bring in his own staff.But,if the D is top 5, and the Teams are above average, why mess with success? It would be unusual, but how about a top notch HC and OC and new offensive assistants.,and keep the defensive and special teams coaches? Bills finally have the opportunity,and resources, to invest in a proven HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If it's a reject or a guy who hasn't paid his dues, like Frank Reich, Schwartz is going to be very, very pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 With Polian coming in sometime this month, I wouldn't doubt that Reich is the new HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If it's a reject or a guy who hasn't paid his dues, like Frank Reich, Schwartz is going to be very, very pissed. Agree. Don't love the dynamic that Schwartz brings to the table. I think he almost has to go, unless we hire a big personality like rex or cowher.

Mango Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Carolina is a bit of an anomaly with Polian, with Caughlib, Delhome, and Collins. But his MO seems to be get a guy who can lead, but get out of the way and let the players play. Not sure where Reich is on this. At week 8 this season, I'd be in on it, not now, that offense was too bad with too much talent. Also too Green. Is Wade retired these days?

Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Agree. Don't love the dynamic that Schwartz brings to the table. I think he almost has to go, unless we hire a big personality like rex or cowher. I don't think so. Look at it this way. 3-4 days into this and Schwartz hasn't gotten a whiff as far an an interview for a HC job as far as we know. It's possible that he has, or will, get an interview. I'm sure a guy like that wants one and thought he may get one. But it's a fact. He has to be able to deal with a hotshot candidate like Gase who is an offensive guy, or even a Bowles or Bevel, because everyone wants to talk to them. It doesn't matter that he thinks he's a better candidate than them, but it's a fact he must understand. He's a very smart guy. What he doesn't have to put up with is a retread like himself, who had his one chance already, and didn't do so well. OR... a guy like Reich who hasn't paid his dues at all and there is no reason whatsoever to give that guy a job to. He should be pissed if that happens. A big name, a hotshot young up and coming, a top college coach I'm sure he could deal with. A retread or an undeserving neophyte I think pisses him off.

Chump Change Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have major concerns about Schwartz as HC. His team in Detroit was undisciplined and our defense here this year, while very good, was also guilty of too many stupid penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If it's a reject or a guy who hasn't paid his dues, like Frank Reich, Schwartz is going to be very, very pissed. I agree. I have not heard of any interest in him from other teams looking for a HC, and he is under contract, but it would be difficult to believe he could be retained by a new HC if he is passed over. Perhaps with a truly big name and a bump to asst HC, but Frank Reich? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle leads the league in penalties while Jacksonville has the fewest amount. Quite the contrast. Good teams get penalized just as much as bad teams, stupid or not. Means nothing.

Playing a nasty, physical D will come with some stupid penalties, and prob 1/2 of the "stupid penalties" were phantom calls. If a new HC does not keep Schwartz I would find that disturbing. We need to keep Schwartz. If he leaves of his own accord, we should promote Pepper Johnson. Schwartz in Det ~ Bellicheat in Cleveland Hmmmm...... #dynasty love it!!
