Mike Shanahan Reportedly Among Buffalo Bills' Coaching Candidates

Mike Shanahan has been contacted by the Buffalo Bills as a potential candidate to fill the tiny shoes of Dick Jauron, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, although the report indicates that Shanahan was not the only candidate contacted.

Among those additionally listed are former NC State offensive coordinator and current CFL coach Marc Trestman, as well as Jim Haslett, who simply refuses to disappear from any coaching search, and Giants OC Kevin Gilbride. Schefter did indicate, however, that interim head coach Perry Fewell would be given an "every opportunity" to secure the full-time gig.

Shanahan and "the player"?

Oh, brother!

 

[Toro]

They'd give him the complete control he would want, but would he really want to go to Buffalo?

 

[Xenophon]

Its a good fit.

Buffalo is a great place to build a running game, it has a stable patient owner and outdoor stadium.

Shanahan's run oriented offense would do great there.

Plus there is the added fun of watching TO try to bitch to a coach who will ignore him.

 

[Oddball]

I hear on the radio that they're fishing for Bill Cowher, too.

 

[Xenophon]

I doubt Cowher will take that job.

The Bills need some rebuilding and he did a lot of that with Pitt.
