Buffalo Bills Fire Offensive Coordinator Turk Schonert

Buffalo Bills Offensive Coordinator Turk Schonert has been fired after the offense's dismal performance this 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 there season against the New England Patriots Sept. 14. Schonert was responsible for installing the no-huddle offense this year in a bid to keep defenses guessing and to take advantage of new receiver Terrell Owens. The plan has so far failed for the first team offense that generated 279 yards. 15 first downs and 3 p0ints in 15 series.
