The Buffalo Bills' search for a new head coach has kicked off with a bang, and it's an exciting time for fans! The team is looking to replace Sean McDermott, and three notable candidates with Bills connections are already on the radar.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Bills have an interview scheduled with Anthony Lynn, the Commanders' running backs coach and run game coordinator, on Saturday. Dianna Russini of TheAthletic.com adds that the Bills are also eyeing their own offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, and multiple sources indicate they're keen to speak with former Giants head coach Brian Daboll.
But here's where it gets interesting: Lynn has a history with the Bills, having served as their interim offensive coordinator when Rex Ryan was fired in 2016. He then went on to become the Chargers' head coach, compiling a 33-31 record over four seasons and reaching the playoffs once.
Joe Brady, on the other hand, has been a sought-after candidate for head coaching roles and has interviewed for several positions. Daboll, meanwhile, was the Bills' offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021 and is also being considered for other offensive coordinator roles.
And this is the part most people miss: the Bills' decision to interview these three coaches with Bills ties suggests a strategic approach to finding a new head coach. It's a fascinating development, and it will be intriguing to see how these interviews unfold and who ultimately gets the nod.
So, what do you think? Are these the right candidates to lead the Bills forward? Or should the team be looking elsewhere? Feel free to share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below!
