beerme1 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I can't believe that he just completely disappeared and no team was interested. Even Marrone got a job! If you told me he wouldn't land a job somewhere I would bet against it. But now it's way too late for him to surface anywhere. Anyone know why he isn't getting a look somewhere, for some position? Since he left I haven't seen his name associated with any position even once. It's kind of bizarre to me and really is what I would have expected for Marrone. But he had several interviews for a HC job before accepting a job flipping burgers. Is there something to the story I'm missing?
Rocky Landing Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Here's an article from January. Word is he is being selective. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/27/jim-schwartz-being-selective-about-next-opportunity/
MDH Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Schwartz was probably a season or two from getting some HC interviews. I'm guessing he wasn't too happy with Marrone bailing on the team. He might have flushed Schwartz's HC chances down the toilet with him.
White Linen Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I just remember him wanting to take some time off even before coming to us. I have to believe it's by his choice. Edited March 22, 2015 by Triple Threat
YoloinOhio Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 He's on the Move the Sticks podcasts sometimes with Daniel Jeremiah.
enlightener Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Remember....the Schwartz will be with you,,,,always.
BackInDaDay Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 just keep your fingers crossed he doesn't end up with Miami in 2016

He might have flushed Schwartz's HC chances down the toilet with him. No way... People saw what the Scwartz did with our D... Pegsy totally effed him over for a chance at a big-name coach... VERY unfair, in my humble opinion... Perhaps even unwise.. We embarassed Rex last season. -Twice. The second time with one of the most dominating defensive showings we've had in a while... I like the guy alot... He gets a big drunken hug from me should he walk into any Bills bar I'm drinking in. Edited March 22, 2015 by #34fan
K D Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Not sure why guys like Schwartz insist on being head coaches. He's clearly one of the best coordinators there is so why not just stick with what you are good at? Is it an ego thing?
GunnerBill Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Schwartz wants to be a Head Coach again. The way you do that is having top defenses. He took the Buffalo job because he could see the potential to make a top 5 defense. He would have undone some of that by taking a bottom feeder DC job which was pretty much all that was left by the time the Bills shake out happened. He will get defensive coordinator and possibly even Head Coaching interviews next year and will be selective in his choice.
dezertbill Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I sense with the jobs dried up that he is waiting out his opportunity for a HC job. He could have had a DC job in a heartbeat with what he did in Buffalo. If he takes another DC job his future HC job will be based on what he potentially does in 2015 instead of his job in Buffalo in 2014. He is betting on his 2014 performance to get him back into the HC seat. It'll happen too.

He's clearly one of the best coordinators there is so why not just stick with what you are good at? Is it an ego thing? One there's no indication that's what Schwartz wants - two there's examples of many coaches that realize what you're saying and stick with coordinating - three it pays a lot more in most cases to be a head coach - four a lot of head coaches failed as a head coach before becoming successful at it.
dezertbill Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Wonder if he is collecting two salaries. He is due to make $6 mil in 2015 from Detroit and whatever the Bills were paying him in 2015 which I'm sure was pretty hefty . Which is another reason to sit back and wait a year for a HC to come open Edited March 22, 2015 by dezertbill
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Ah, how to be selective while you're getting paid and also have time for the beach and family. When this guy needs a job, he'll get one.

Which is another reason to sit back and wait a year for a HC to come open Do the Bills still owe him? If things went down like the media told it, he was given the opportunity to stay, but decided to leave. Seems like if he left on his own, he wouldn't get that money.

Seems like if he left on his own, he wouldn't get that money.he was given the choice to stay, and he chose to leave, but in the end it was reported that his contract was "terminated" and that he was "fired." Since they had already hired Dennis Thurman, they must have felt like it was a foregone conclusion.
3rdand12 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Not sure why guys like Schwartz insist on being head coaches. He's clearly one of the best coordinators there is so why not just stick with what you are good at? Is it an ego thing? who said he wasn't? nobody really knows what he is doing. The guy had our defense clicking every game though. From that i say he knows his shet. Miss you Jim! Hugs ! he was given the choice to stay, and he chose to leave, but in the end it was reported that his contract was "terminated" and that he was "fired." Since they had already hired Dennis Thurman, they must have felt like it was a foregone conclusion. he was not given the choice really . Thats silly Y. Rex IS the D coordinator. sure they left it professional but , no , absolutely not. they was not enough room in the building for both of them , Rex and Jim. love me some Schwartz, dude killed it for us
plenzmd1 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 He is due to make $6 mil in 2015 from Detroit and whatever the Bills were paying him in 2015 which I'm sure was pretty hefty . Which is another reason to sit back and wait a year for a HC to come open I could be wrong, but i think almost 100% of coaches contracts have offset language. Simply put, if i fire you and you have one year left at $1M, and you get a job paying $500K, i only owe you $500K. So toatl he would make from Buffalo and Detroit was the $6M you reference above(have no idea if that is accurate)...time to cry him a river
billsfan89 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Weird to think that Schwartz is being so selective. You think coming off of his great year with the Bills and a solid past esp coordinating the Titans that Schwartz would have a good selection of jobs to pick from.
