All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Why Would We Hire Someone With A D Background ? Should Be An O Coach
Nope, hire the best coach regardless of specialty.
Absolutely right. Head coach skills are not the same as coordinators. Think about all those guys like dungy or billick whose teams had strong units on the opposite side of the ball from their specialty.

Under normal circumstances, absolutely, but considering what we have on defense if we can keep that side of the ball mostly intact an offensive-minded guy would be more capable of bringing in assistants to support and implement his philosophy.

Re: Why Would We Hire Someone With A D Background ? Should Be An O Coach
For one, HC skills are definitely different from coordinator skills. Also, there should be a top down process to all this. The owner picks a President/Director of Football Operations to oversee the franchise. That person hires a GM, or is the GM. That person hires the coach, either alone or as part of a group decision. That coach hires the coordinators. Right now we have a coordinator and a GM (I think?) but little else. That's what confuses me about the way things are unfolding. Anyway... Schwartz has proven to be a great coordinator and a below average coach. That opens the door to any highly qualified candidates being considered. They need to see that process through before Schwartz's next step is determined. If they decide he's the best man to be coach, your plan works. If they don't... well, then we may have a whole new group in here (with the same quality personnel on D mind you).
Make Schwartz Asst. HC/DC with a hefty raise and keep his D assistant coaches. ST's are very good.
We know where the problem is...Offense. Why do more work than needed ?
When hiring someone it is always best to talk to as many people with experience as possible. All of these coaches will be asked Bills roster and schematic specific questions and this information can be used as an audit for your team. The Pegula's are new to football and will be fed lots of info from Whaley, Brandon, et al. One of the best ways to improve your organization is to get perspective from outside peers on what they would do to improve.
I'm going to agree. Our roster on the defense has the flexibility to play multiple sets. It shouldn't take a massive overhaul of the roster on D to change to a new scheme.
I think what many are saying is why fix something that you finally have right? I'd agree except that the overall talent on D is probably more of the reason we were so good rather than the scheme itself.
For the most part the players will all be back.
Only caveat is if some new defensive minded HC comes in and puts them in a bad scheme for their talents. But again, I don't see that happening.

This defense would regress if Pettine were to come back and re-insert his scheme.

I get the want for an offensive head coach, but without a QB it doesn't matter. The REAL problem with this team is their lack of a REAL franchise QB for the past 18 years.
