Punching Bag Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Pepper Johnson He's currently the defensive line coach for the Bills, which means Buffalo cannot block him from interviewing for a coordinator's position. The Newday reporter article interdicts what is written in a number of threads saying the Bills can block lateral moves.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The Newday reporter article interdicts what is written in a number of threads saying the Bills can block lateral moves. The Bill can block them if they wish. Teams usually don't if it's going to be a promotion. If the Giants seriously wanted Pepper Johnson to be their DC, it's highly unlikely the Bills would stop it. Now, if Marrone is coach somewhere, like of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and wanted Pepper Johnson the Bills may block that attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Odd, report came out yesterday or the day before stating that the Giants are keeping both their coordinators. So this sounds like fishy rumors, unless somethings changed in NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 if we hired a defensive minded coach (god help us if we do) then Schwartz and Pepper would probably be released. God I hope that's not the case though! I love our defense!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Pepper will be allowed to interview for the position but Schwartz will not. That is pretty standard. With that being said, I would guess that next year Schwartz is the top paid DC in the league with the Bills. That will start to trickle down to the position coaches as well. It will be more lucrative to coach in Buffalo than in other places I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Dude Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Great I hope he gets the job, tired of hearing how we need to keep him around and give him the head coaching job or he will leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I am tired of teams trying to take Schwartz as a lateral move to DC. And why can't the Bills make the new head coach use Schwartz as the DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...I just read an article in the last 24 to 48 hours saying both were officially staying.

BillsBytheBay Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I was hope they go the Dick LeBeau route, and Schwartz became the defensive fixture that our coach would join. Also, at what point do we stop giving credit to multiple DC's for outstanding defense, and credit the players that have been the constant? Btw, Nix: Dareus, Mario, Bradham, Aaron W. Searcy, Gilmore Doug: Hughes, Kiko, Preston, Spikes, Robey, Duke, Our last two GM's knew defensive players...

Niagara Dude Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 For those people worried that we need to give the HC job to this guy the facts are his record with decent talent in Detroit was 29-51.He had 4 losing seasons in 5 years and one playoff appearance.

And why can't the Bills make the new head coach use Schwartz as the DC. You can, the only way to lose him is if another team wants him as a head coach.That will not happen this year.

Big C Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 He did take over the worst team ever, 0-16, and in the playoffs in three years. It is a little disconcerting that last year, with Rodgers out and Cutler giving away the Bears season as usual, Schwartz couldn't get the Lions into the playoffs.

I read the same initial "report" on NFL.calm and was surprised that Perry got let go - not because his squad didn't stink this year - but because NFL.calm said he was safe. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000454764/article/report-coughlin-to-keep-coordinators-fewell-quinn Oh well.
