ORCHARD PARK, N. Joe Mullen Jersey .Y. - Rex Ryans first full day on the job as Buffalo Bills coach featured a much anticipated switch of co-ordinators.Greg Roman was hired to run the offence, and Jim Schwartz is out as defensive co-ordinator in a pair of moves announced by the team Tuesday afternoon.Both decisions did not come as a surprise under Ryan, who arrived in Buffalo earlier in the day.Schwartz and Roman were among 12 candidates interviewed by the Bills to replace coach Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly on Dec. 31.Schwartz is now free to pursue other jobs after his contract was terminated. The former Detroit Lions coach spent one season in Buffalo, where he played a significant role in helping the Bills defence lead the NFL with 54 sacks, finish fourth in yards allowed and produce three Pro Bowl linemen.Ryan is a defensive specialist, and has traditionally used an attacking three-lineman, four-linebacker alignment. That differs from Schwartz, who preferred going with a 4-3 alignment that didnt rely on much blitzing.I wanted to give Jim the opportunity to pursue other opportunities, and so we have terminated his contract, Ryan said in a statement released by the Bills. He did a terrific job with the Bills defence this past year, and our plan is for our defence to continue to play well and be a dominating force.Ryan, who was fired after six seasons with the New York Jets, is expected to hire a number of members of his former defensive staff, including co-ordinator Dennis Thurman.The switch means the Bills defence will be led by a fifth co-ordinator in as many seasons.Schwartz was highly popular among Bills players, including veteran tackle Kyle Williams.Following the season, Williams said he intended to chain (Schwartz) to a car in the parking lot to prevent the co-ordinator from leaving.As for Roman, he had been in talks to become the Bills offensive co-ordinator since Ryan tentatively agreed to a contract on Sunday.Roman spent the previous four seasons serving as the San Francisco 49ers offensive co-ordinator. His status in San Francisco was uncertain after coach Jim Harbaugh left to coach Michigan.Roman and Ryan share a similar run-first philosophy. In San Francisco, the 49ers running attack ranked in the NFLs top 10 in each of the past four seasons.Roman and Ryan also previously worked together as assistants with the Baltimore Ravens in 2006 and 2007.He replaces Nathaniel Hackett, who was not expected to be retained after two seasons in Buffalo. Hackett was one of a number of Marrones assistants at Syracuse, who followed their coach to Buffalo in January 2013.The Bills offence struggled under Hackett. After finishing 19th in the NFL in yards offence in 2013, Buffalo dropped to 26th this past season.Ryan is scheduled to be formally introduced as the Bills coach during a news conference Wednesday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Jaromir Jagr Jersey . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a course-record 10-under 62 on Wednesday to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament. Sidney Crosby Jersey . It will mark the 22nd time the tournament has been held in this country and fourth in Atlanta Canada but will make its first appearance ever in played Nova Scotia. http://www.penguinsauthenticofficial.com/kris-letang-jersey/ . Erik Cole scored on a breakaway with 4:49 to play, and the Stars rallied to defeat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Saturday night.MILAN - Seven-time winner AC Milan is in the unfamiliar position of being the overwhelming underdog when it hosts Atletico Madrid in the first leg of its Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday. Atleticos best finish in the competition is runner-up 40 years ago but it is top of the Spanish league along with Barcelona and Real Madrid, and qualified from its group with an almost perfect record — slipping in a 1-1 draw at Zenit St. Petersburg. Milan is going through another transitional year and is under the guidance of inexperienced coach Clarence Seedorf. The Italian team is further hampered by injuries and suspensions. Despite its difficulties, Milan is the only Italian team to progress to the knockout stages. Can it pull off a shock? Here are five things to know about the match: KAKA CONCERN: Talismanic AC Milan playmaker Kaka expects to be fully fit in time. Kaka recovered from the flu to play in Fridays 1-0 victory over Bologna but had to be replaced 10 minutes from time after injuring his right ankle. The Brazilian returned to training on Monday. "After Fridays win, were confident and ready for Wednesday," said Kaka, who scored against Celtic in the group stage. AC Milan is without Sulley Muntari and captain Riccardo Montolivo, who are both suspended, and Stephan El Shaarawy, Valter Birsa, Robinho and Bryan Cristante, who are all injured. Cristian Zapata is also doubtful with injury. New signing Keisuke Honda is cup tied, having played in the Champions League this season for CSKA Moscow. MILAN MISERY: AC Milan looks to the Champions League as a welcome distraction from its domestic woes. Milan lies ninth in the Serie A after the exact same number of wins, draws and defeats — eight. Its mediocre form got coach Massimiliano Allegri sacked at the beginning of the year, and former player Clarence Seedorf replaced him. It is the 37-year-olds first managerial experience. However, Seedorf knows the tournament better than most. The Dutchman lifted the trophy the last time Milan won the competition, in 2007, and is the only player to have won the league with three different clubs — Ajax, Real Madrid and Milan twice. "They are favourites in every area, but the Champions League is something different," Seeedorf said. Larry Murphy Jersey. "I am confident but it will be difficult. We need to have a very great game. "The 2007 Champions League represents the characteristics of this tournament. You can give so much more if you are all together. That year we werent at the highest level, but we changed in the Champions League. We have to do so again now." SAN SIRO STAGEFRIGHT? Atletico will be relieved goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will play after a recent dip while the Belgium goalie was sidelined by injury. Courtois has been instrumental in helping Atletico share the lead in the Spanish league and for finishing the league group stage undefeated. The first leg away will not daunt Atletico, their goalkeeper insists. "We wont be intimidated by (the San Siro). Weve already managed good results at difficult stadiums such as Sevilla, or Bilbao," Courtois said. "We also went into the group stage with little experience and succeeded. If we maintain the same intensity as we have in the league all season we shouldnt have any problems." Courtois expects his teammates to keep Mario Balotelli from breaking out: "Im not sure how well defend against him, Im sure the coach knows, however." ATLETICOS TWO DIEGOS: While David Villa has returned from injury to be available, Atletico will be leaning on a pair of Brazilian Diegos at San Siro. Striker Diego Costa and midfielder Diego Ribas are expected to be key players. Diego Costa recovered his scoring touch in a 3-0 win over Valladolid on Saturday, while Diego Ribas is showing the form of two seasons ago when he helped Atletico win the Europa League. "I like important games like this. Atletico is a big club and we should be playing these types of games," Diego Costa said. "They certainly motivate you, so going to play at the San Siro will be memorable. We can get a result there." SIMEONES MILAN LINK: Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone knows San Siro well. He spent two seasons there as a player with Inter Milan from 1997-99. In that period Inter drew three times against Milan in the league, winning once. It also suffered a hefty 5-0 defeat in the Italian Cup. Also, Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati spent the 2007-08 season on loan at Atletico. ' ' '
