"Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Turk Schonert has been fired after the offense's dismal performance in the preseason. The move was announced by coach Dick Jauron on Friday, less than a day after the Bills (1-4) closed their preseason with a 17-6 loss to Detroit. Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt will take over as the Bills prepare to open the season at New England on Sept. 14.
Schonert was responsible for installing a no-huddle offense this year in a bid to keep defenses guessing and to utilize new receiver Terrell Owens. The plan has so far failed to work for a first-team offense that generated 279 yards, 15 first downs and 3 points in 15 series this preseason (Sportsline)."
I am a little split on this since the offense was terrible, but TO also didn't play much this preseason. Still, it was pretty bad, so I guess they had to make a move. I find it hilarious that Alex Van Pelt is now the offensive coordinator....because I actually remember his playing days...
