    Schonert wants OC job

    Bills QB coach Schonert interested in taking over as offensive coordinator

    By JOHN WAWROW
    AP Sports Writer
    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Having spent 12 seasons tutoring NFL quarterbacks, including Bills rookie Trent Edwards this year, Turk Schonert believes he's ready for an even bigger challenge: offensive coordinator.
    The Bills quarterbacks coach on Wednesday acknowledged he's interested in replacing Steve Fairchild, who's leaving Buffalo to take over as coach at Colorado State.
    "Oh, absolutely," said Schonert, who added he's yet to formally discuss the job with head coach Dick Jauron.

    Makes sense, actually. Both he and Edwards graduated from Stanford, have high IQ's and supposedly get along well.

    If Edwards believes in him, that's the key. He deserves the shot.

      Schonert has receiver Lee Evans' vote.

      "Yeah, that would be good. I like Turk," Evans said. "Ideally, you want the same system so you don't have to start from a complete Ground Zero. ... It will be a good move."

      Edwards also favored Schonert, but added the decision should be left to Jauron.

      "I feel in this situation, my opinion really doesn't matter all that much because I haven't been out there playing at this level for that long," Edwards said. "I've enjoyed the system I'm in right now and have learned a lot over these past 17 weeks. And if we can stick with that, that would be great, too."

        I like the idea of Schonert being elevated to OC, and AVP going to QB coach. Wouldn't mind having a proven guy, but if we're going with a newbie I'd rather it be Turk.

          It seems Schonert and Alex Van Pelt have similar backgrounds, Schonert has more experience.

          I just wish Evans would shut up about continuity and all that BS. It almost sounds to me like he is ok with how terrible the offense has been. Im not saying I want TO or Moss like attitude, but this guys "stay the course" attitude is depressing.

            Can't be any worse than Fairchild.

              If the Bills go internal (and I'm in favor of that) Schonert is the logical choice. Again, I don't think Fairchild had a bad system at all. I like his system. He just got a little too cautious with his young QBs and tied their hands when trying to protect them. That has more to do with his personality than his system.
              I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

              I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                I'd wait and see who gets fired at the end of this year.

                This team is screaming for an old warhorse on the sideline. Someone who will make good decisions on the fly. Can't say that Turk or AVP would do that.

                  I would not oppose it. Hopefully schonert learns a thing or two from fairchild's gameday mistakes. Btw schonert should have been given the duties to call plays last week and this week as an audition. I have no idea what the point of keeping fairchild as OC last week and this week when you've got schonert as a potential candidate itching to gain a shot. This one is on jauron. For all the yale bull**** you hear about jauron, this just takes the cake. Fairchild's job has nothing to gain or lose calling the giants and eagles game.

                        He fits what the Bills like in coaches. He won't get paid alot. He will get it.

                              I don't think the scheme is the problem, it's the pathetic playcalling and lack of execution that plagued us. Hopefully the next OC will have a brain that has the ability to make the right decisions when the playclock resets to 40 sec.
