Buffalo moved quickly to replace head coach Sean McDermott, casting a wide net of candidates even before general manager Brandon Beane and owner Terry Pegula took questions from reporters on Wednesday. Beane will lead the coach search<\/a> after being promoted in the wake of the McDermott firing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to Albert Breer, some interviews will take place in Orchard Park and some will be in Florida. Further reports say Wednesday and Thursday\u2019s interviews were in Western New York with the team shifting to Florida on Friday. There is a conflicting report that the Bills will be in Los Angeles on Saturday. Either way, the Bills are traveling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are noticeably no candidates from teams currently in the playoffs, as they aren\u2019t allowed to interview until after their season is completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We will keep updating as names and information come in, so keep coming back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview completed (1\/21 afternoon)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Brady has been Buffalo\u2019s OC for two+ seasons, replacing Ken Dorsey midway through 2023. They\u2019ve had a top 10 offense with Brady calling plays, but a lot of Bills fans think it was harder than it needed to be and want him gone. Instead, he will get a look at the top job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He was the first candidate to interview<\/a>. He interviews again with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday 1\/22.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview completed <\/a>(1\/22 morning)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Daboll is a Western New York native and former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator. He was the New York Giants head coach from 2022 until midway through 2025. His offenses were mid to bad with the Giants, but in Buffalo, he is one of the people who unlocked QB Josh Allen when he entered the league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He interviewed with the Bills on Thursday and if he does not get the head coach job, could be a candidate for offensive coordinator. He also has an offer to be the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview completed<\/a><\/strong> (1\/22 afternoon)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Anarumo has been requested by most teams with a head coach opening and has been an NFL DC for eight years. He was let go by the Cincinnati Bengals after a disappointing 2024 season and spent 2025 with the Colts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Anarumo will be in Buffalo on Thursday to meet with Bills officials. He also interviewed for the openings with the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview scheduled (1\/23)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mike McDaniel is from the Shanahan coaching tree and was seen as an offensive guru when the Miami Dolphins hired him. He was able to get them to the playoffs twice despite Tua Tagovailoa being in and out of the lineup, finishing in the top five in offense both of his first two seasons. After that, they finished with consecutive losing records with the Dolphins and they decided on an organizational reset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He pulled out of the running to be the Cleveland Browns head coach, interviewed for but didn\u2019t get the Baltimore Ravens job, and is still in the running to be the Las Vegas Raiders head coach. If he doesn\u2019t get a head coach job, he\u2019s expected to be the Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview scheduled (1\/23)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Y\u2019all, I am not sure what to write here. Phillip Rivers came out of retirement in 2025 to play a few games for the Indianapolis Colts. Previous to that, he was retired for five years after a long career as a Hall of Fame quarterback with the San Diego\/Los Angeles Chargers and one season with the Colts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He certainly will have respect as a player, but his only head coach experience is at St. Michael Catholic High School\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview scheduled (1\/24)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lynn is a former Bills offensive coordinator under Rex Ryan and interim head coach when Ryan was fired. A former NFL running back, he\u2019s been an NFL coach since 2000 mostly as a position coach. Lynn served as the Los Angeles Chargers head coach from 2017-2020 where he went 33-31 with one playoff appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview scheduled (1\/24)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Weaver was the Bills defensive line coach in 2013 but that predates Beane\u2019s time in Buffalo. He spent a year as the Houston Texans defensive coordinator in 2020 and 2024 and 2025 as the Dolphins defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Status: Interview scheduled (1\/25)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Udinski is a rising offensive star under Liam Coen. He just turned 30 and only has one season as an NFL coordinator. Prior to joining Coen, he was on the staff of the Minnesota Vikings with Kevin O\u2019Connell as assistant quarterbacks coach. His resume is pretty darn thin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Udinski has his second interview with the Cleveland Browns on Friday for their head coach job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here is everything you need to know about the Bills head coach search as of RIGHT NOW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There is a one-week window where coach on teams that are playing in the Super Bowl can complete in-person interviews before the Big Game. Unfortunately for Buffalo, that is only for SECOND interviews. Teams need to have completed virtual interviews with those candidates previously. Because they played in the Divisional Round, Buffalo missed that opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bills QB Josh Allen is already participating in the head coach search<\/a>, according to The Athletic.<\/em> Read more in our full article linked here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Should the Bills go with a coach that can bring familiarity or one that can provide disciple<\/a>? Weigh in in our comments section.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Buffalo moved quickly to replace head coach Sean McDermott, casting a wide net of candidates even before general manager Brandon Beane and owner Terry Pegula took questions from reporters on Wednesday.
