Doc Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 For those hung up on the "wide 9," check out the presser (at the 9:20 mark): http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Schwartz-Scheme-will-attack-and-be-flexible/7ee1db65-8a6c-4d22-9649-3cf5aa04fdc5
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 So when Schwartz became the DC at Tenn, did he follow Greg Williams who came to Buffalo? Kind of ironic.
Clippers of Nfl Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I'm 32 pages too late. I love the hire. Go Shwartzanegger!!!!
YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 So when Schwartz became the DC at Tenn, did he follow Greg Williams who came to Buffalo? Kind of ironic. He did. When he was interviewed Monday night by John Murphy, he mentioned this and that GW spoke highly of the organization to him and that he still wears his "red and blue." I take that with the grain of salt, but who knows.
Nitro Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Can that be foreshadowing of him (Williams) being hired as a position coach? Hmmmmm!
YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Can that be foreshadowing of him (Williams) being hired as a position coach? Hmmmmm! He did say that he felt certain GW would be "back in the league." But would he return in that type of role, to Bflo of all places?
NoSaint Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 He did. When he was interviewed Monday night by John Murphy, he mentioned this and that GW spoke highly of the organization to him and that he still wears his "red and blue." I take that with the grain of salt, but who knows. Don't believe it at all, though he may remind people that he was a head coach once upon a time and we happen to be the spot.
Nitro Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Greggggg has to do penance for his past sins in the NFL/New Orleans scandal. What better place than Buffalo where the fans derided him and his time as HC. Make him the LB coach of maybe Defense Assistant coach.
YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I thought he is back in the league? You are right: According to Wikipedia, "After the NFL reinstated Williams, it was announced of February 7, 2013 that the Titans hired him as a senior assistant coach for its defense."However, wasn't the whole Titans staff just replaced? So he may very well be out of a job, unless Horton retained him.

YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 3m From @mortreport: Rams plan to hire Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator to replace Tim Walton. That was weird. His ears must have been burning. Anyway, makes all the sense he would be hired by Fisher. What happened to Walton? Their defense was great last year, I thought. Edit: Oh. Walton got fired. ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk 8m Tim Walton out as Rams defensive coordinator http://wp.me/p14QSB-9oVv Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 2m Jeff Fisher took over midway through RT @STLouisRams: The #Rams have relieved Tim Walton from his defensive coordinator position.

Nanker Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Maybe Walton will be Schwartz's LB coach, or QA assistant.
YoloinOhio Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Maybe Walton will be Schwartz's LB coach, or QA assistant. Looks like he has always coached secondary but he DID come from the Lions so maybe QC to replace Fleury. He was DC at Memphis, just not sure how much exp he has with LBs.
Heitz Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Fwiw, there's a good bleacher report career narrative story on Schwartz out there. Since we can link BR here, google "Jim Schwartz: Utilizing the Analytical Mind of a Detroit Lions Revolutionary" Seems crazy that people aren't excited about the possibilities with our D next year...
CodeMonkey Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Seems crazy that people aren't excited about the possibilities with our D next year... Give em time. They haven't gotten over the kicked in the nuts feeling from Pettine leaving yet, Come camp, or even OTAs, the general feeling will be excitement over how dominant this defense is going to be. You know, like last summer.

I'll admit I knew very little about Schwartz before he was hired. After listening to him speak several times and learning about his past, he's a very, very smart guy. I wouldn't have imagined that. I agree with the poster, however, who said if we don't have a top ten defense next year, he will have failed somewhat as a coach. Of course, either top 10 in total defense, or top 10 scoring defense qualify IMO.

Either way, yes.
