Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

Significant change huh?

Yuck.

Bills to Name Schonert OC

Can't say we didn't see this coming.

I honestly can't understand why Buffalo wouldn't have at least brought someone in from the outside to interview for the position. Jauron's offense in Chicago cost him his job, and this may be a little bit of history repeating.

More Significant Change at One Bills Drive

http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/billsnfl/story/253078.html

The Buffalo Bills are expected to make their latest coaching staff move official within the next day or two: Turk Schonert will be elevated to the offensive coordinator.

Did they even interview anyone outside the organization?

I dont care who is OC to be honest,,,,

As long as we get some talent on offense, WR, TE, C then we will be giving whoever is the OC a chance to succeed.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

talk about anti-climactic

I will reserve judgement on him till we see the offense, but as it stands now I do not like the move.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

He will be charged with bringing some new ideas and tactics to an offense that ranked 30th in the NFL the past two seasons.

So instead of running left into the crowd on 3rd and 8, we'll be running right into the crowd. Great!

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

I'm all for giving Schonert a chance, but to not even bring in one candidate to interview for the position from outside the organization is just plain stupid. What happened to the candidates that Jauron stated that he had in mind. I suppose that was said to please the fans and the job was Schonert's all along.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

I thought Norm Chow would be a very tempting alternative once he became available, but I don't dismiss the selection of Schonert as potentially a good choice. I do like the fact that the base system and terminology won't be likely to change, and I don't think that in itself need be a hindrance to the offense making significant improvements. The weakness of the offense had more to do with Fairchild's decision to go ultra-predictable working with very young QBs. Edwards will come back with at least modest experience and confidence, and I expect Schonert to come in with some pretty creative game planning.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

beginning to lose faith that this team is truly going in the right direction. Shonert may very well be a good O coordinator, but it's a joke to not even bring in anyone else for an interview. It's just plain lazy and the easy way out.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

Is this a surprise to anyone? Ralph doesn't have to pay him what he would have to pay a real coordinator. Why do you think Jauron is still around?

It's ok, he's been the "reason" we've kept the team in Buffalo for so long, he's also going to be the reason Buffalo loses the Bills once the stupid old fart croaks.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

Is Ralph ever going to hire anyone again? In five years will our OC be the current waterboy? What a team of cronies. This, and the FO moves, is like nominating Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court. Turk's one and only qualification is he's here. Needless to say, a LOT of proving to do.

No, he isn't ever going to hire anyone. Have you seen our head coaches over the last decade? Wilson hires whoever says they'll take the least amount of money.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

I'd hate to hear the buzz about Buffalo among the agents of FAs.

Re: Schonert to be named offensive coordinator

Im more concenred about who is going to be running the plays rather than who is coaching them,,,,

Schonert is the logical choice considering we have a young Qb that needs consistency around him. Look at all the young Qbs who have had multiple HC and Coordinator changes around them. Its not a successful method.

If anything this should help the most inconsistent position we have on offense. QB.
