Jim Schwartz
Former Bills DC Jim Schwartz said he plans to be “selective” when it comes to his next coaching job.
โCoaching is still in my blood and Iโm just fortunate at this time of my career where I can be selective about opportunities.ย Where it goes from here, I donโt know. But you always have to be aware of certain dynamics that may come with it,โ Schwartz said, via the Baltimore Sun. โI saw the opening up in Buffalo as a good opportunity, so I took it. But no, right now, I canโt see myself doing anything else. Coaching is something I love, something I have a passion about. Another opportunity will present itself. Iโm not too concerned.โ
