The Senior Bowl isn't merely about scouting college prospects for the upcoming draft.
Perhaps more significant for the NFL landscape is that Mobile, Ala., turns into a job fair for unemployed coaches.
Not much has happened for the Buffalo Bills assistants who served under Chan Gailey, but names are starting to pop up in reports here and there.
The San Diego Chargers have hired offensive-line coach Joe D'Alessandris. He will work with offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, whom the Bills interviewed for head coach, and quarterbacks coach Frank Reich.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan reportedly has snagged David Lee to coach quarterbacks, replacing the recently fired Matt Cavanaugh. Lee joined the Bills' staff last year.
Multiple reports state former Bills receivers assistant Bob Bicknell has been hired by new Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly.
Nothing official has been announced on either Lee or Bicknell.
ESPN's Ed Werder reported today the Dallas Cowboys are considering Bruce DeHaven and Alan Lowry as special-teams replacements for Joe DeCamillis, who joined the Chicago Bears staff.
The only official hire among Gailey's staff so far is offensive coordinator and running backs coach Curtis Modkins. He will handle running backs for the Detroit Lions.
Gailey told me last week he was approached by a couple teams but will take the year off from coaching.
