Bills coaching search
The Bills intend to do a comprehensive search for a new head coach and will consider all options – even mega-coaches such as Mike Shanahan and Bill Cowher – according to team and league sources. (Read the full story on Buffalonews.com.)
They also already have told interim head coach Perry Fewell that the remainder of the season amounts to a seven-week interview for him, and he will be assured of getting a formal interview with the Bills after the season ends. It’s expected any other assistant coach on the current staff who wants an interview will get one, as well.
The speculation season on the future leadership of the Bills began in earnest Wednesday, a day after the Bills fired Dick Jauron after 3 1-2 seasons as coach.
The Bills are expected to cast a wide net in searching for new leadership to pull them out of their decade-long playoff slump.
According to a report on ESPN, the Bills made contact with Shanahan and intend to set up a meeting with the former Denver coach, who won two Super Bowls for the Broncos in the 1990s.
