Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane spoke to the media on Friday to speak about the hiring of Joe Schoen as the new general manager of the New York Giants.
Here is what Beane had to say about Schoen.
Bills GM Brandon Beane said Joe Schoen is a "great evaluator, great communicator." He's a great leader. He knows how to relate to people. He's a family guy. "You don't replace people like that right away."

Brandon Beane said Joe Schoen is a "very intelligent person." He's also a good listener. He's not going to walk into the office like he has all the answers. He let Schoen be involved in everything.

Brandon Beane said Joe Schoen started as a "grunt scout." He was a quick riser because people trusted his evaluation. "You could tell that he had what it takes."

Brandon Beane said personally it's bittersweet to see Joe Schoen to go. He's excited for him and his family but jokes he's losing his golfing buddy.

Brandon Beane said he hoped it was only a matter of time Joe Schoen got this opportunity but you never know. He feels the same way about other members of the Bills' staff. "I hope I have more of these coming."
