billsfan1959 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Good question Yolo. I can understand no interviews for a HC position, given what happened in Detroit; however, no DC interviews? I wonder if other teams look at the level of defensive talent on the Bills and downplay Schwartz' abilities? Kind of puzzling to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Puzzling. I thought he'd be a hot commodity. Maybe he came into the coaching hunt too late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It could be he doesn't want to coach this season after the way things went down. He won't find the same talent on D as he had in Buff. Might figure it's better to take a year off having a great season than coach a lesser defensive unit and lose his "hot" quotient. Or he just got caught up in bad timing. He can thank Marrone the soon to be position coach for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioRV Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Bad timing, and he can choose to be selective I believe he still getting paid for two years unless he finds a gjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I think the easiest answer is because he doesn't want to coach this upcoming season. Taking a year off gives him an advantage of finding the right situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Maybe teams aren't eager to bring in a DC that is looking to become a HC again right away and probably will be gone after only one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be it. And he is not bringing a full staff with him that he used in Buffalo, so there wouldn't necessarily be an in house replacement.

There are several openings... What am I missing? Look at his history as a DC. His legend here on TSW has far exceeded his accomplishments. Not a difference maker as a coach. He's not going to go somewhere that ranked dead last in total D one year and turn them into a top all-around D like a Wade Phillips used to, for instance. Give him top talent and he won't mess it up. Not that many of those situations around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) He may get a job or just take a break. He was thinking about taking a break before the Bills came calling with big money. He still gets $6 million from Detroit plus what he gets from Buffalo the next 2 years. He can always get a DC job. Still young. Edited January 19, 2015 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) He prob would hv got the Skins job if he was allowed to interview for it. Most of the HC vacancies were filled by defensive coaches who will obviously bring their own systems so his opportunities are also limited. I think he ends up in Chicago but I also read somewhere that he may take the year off Edited January 19, 2015 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 A LOT of poster here had no doubt Marrone would get a HC spot in the NFL soon after he opted out. Go figure.... I bet teams look at the talent on the D and concluded that Schwartz was essentially Chance the Gardener in Buffalo. These other teams know they don't have the talent the Bills D has and didn't think Schwartz therefore would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

217014170 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 St. Louis - Jeff Fisher owes him one for when Schwartz added Fisher's son Brandon to the Lions' staff. Brandon is now on Rams' staff. If he does not get a solid DC gig somewhere else I could see him being hired as a Defensive Consultant for the Rams just to stay active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackInDaDay Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 no young DC hired as a HC is going to hire him no current HC, who's afraid of hiring his own replacement, is going to hire him need a situation where the existing HC needs to fill the DC spot, and is secure enough to hire an ex-HC on his staff - maybe Carroll.. they both share a dislike for Harbaugh..

There's some talent and Bowles had them running a 4-3 last season.no and that's what I mean. Lots of DC openings, and nothing. Plus Wash. Is still open and they wanted to intvw him before but it was declined by Bills. Now that he is free to intvw anywhere, he still isn't interviewing there. Maybe it is by choice but even still you usually here that there is "interest" from teams. Edited January 19, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Pettine got the Bills defense up to #23 in the rankings and that accomplishment won him a HC job. Schwartz takes over, loses his Pro Bowl safety to free agency and his rookie phenom to injury, and moves the D up to #4 in the rankings. But he gets barely a sniff for a DC job.

Something doesn't seem right. I think you are incredibly overstating the gap in outcome and ignoring the context of how pettine ended up getting hired and Schwartz had to wait til released. That and one having a rep as innovative and the other running a very classic schene that's at times struggled in recent years without perfect personnel. Otherwise, incredibly fishy.

This year they were 3rd with 4.9 YDS/P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
