Inside The Bills

McCoy won’t jump at any NFL head coach job

Broncos offensive coordinator, Mike McCoy, who will reportedly interview for the Bills head coaching job on Saturday in addition to a couple of other NFL head coaching vacancies, is not going to just jump and take any head coaching job he’s offered.

McCoy, who interviewed for the vacant Dolphins head coaching post last offseason, told the Denver Post that he’s going to carefully consider any head coaching offers that are presented to him after a round of interviews this weekend.

Report: McCoy interview to be on Saturday

It’s been reported by multiple sources that the Bills will interview Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy in Denver this weekend. There is now a report as to exactly what day that interview will take place.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, McCoy will interview with the Bills on Saturday. He’ll also interview with the Cardinals on the same day.

Report: Smith to interview on weekend

There have been some conflicting reports on when and where Lovie Smith will interview for the Bills vacant head coaching job, so take it for what it’s worth. But ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Bills will conduct their interview with Smith over the weekend, which really makes for a tight schedule for team President and CEO Russ Brandon and his search committee.

Former Bears HC Lovie Smith is expected to interview over weekend for Buffalo Bills’ head coaching position, according to multiple reports.

The Bills coaching search team, which includes GM Buddy Nix, Assistant GM Doug Whaley and Sr. VP of Football Administration Jim Overdorf, is scheduled to also interview Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy this weekend. It’s been reported that Smith will interview in Buffalo, and Schefter is saying that interview will happen this weekend. Whether it’s realistic logistically remains to be seen knowing these interviews can sometimes last 4-6 hours.

Report: Bills to interview Smith

According to Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550, the Bills have former Bears head coach Lovie Smith on their list of candidates to interview for their vacant head coaching job.

Per the report the interview will take place some time this weekend.

Buffalo is also reportedly scheduled to interview Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy this weekend in Denver.

Report: Kelly to meet with Bills Friday

USA Today first reported that the Bills along with the Eagles and Browns all have interviews lined up with Oregon head coach Chip Kelly after tonight’s Fiesta Bowl between Oregon and Kansas State. If a subsequent Associated Press report is correct, the Bills will have first crack at the innovative offensive coach.

According to the AP, Kelly will interview with the Bills on Friday, a day after the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona. Kelly is considered on of the hotter NFL coaching candidates in the college ranks.

Bills President and CEO Russ Brandon, GM Buddy Nix, Assistant GM Doug Whaley and Sr. VP of Football Administration Jim Overdorf have all been in Arizona since Tuesday interviewing potential coaching candidates. The search committee has already interviewed former Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and current Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton.

Buffalo’s search committee is then expected to travel to Denver this weekend for a reported weekend interview with Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. That report also came from the Associated Press.

Report: Bills to interview McCoy on weekend

The Bills coaching search team is going to be busy out west and their travels will stretch beyond Arizona. A day after reports came out that Buffalo had requested permission to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, the Associated Press is reporting that an interview with McCoy has been scheduled.

Per the AP report, McCoy will interview with the Bills this weekend in Denver. McCoy reportedly also has interviews lined up with Chicago and Arizona for this weekend, the only window of time granted by the Broncos for McCoy to be interviewed.

Report: Bills interested in Denver OC McCoy

The Bills head coaching search team could be out west for a while if a Denver Post report is accurate. They’re reporting that Broncos offensive coordinator is on Buffalo’s radar, and Denver is granting permission per interviews under a specific timeline.

Per the report the Bills have asked permission to interview McCoy and the Broncos are granting interview opportunities so long as they take place between Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening this weekend in Denver. The Broncos have their bye on Wild Card weekend.

One potential problem is the Cardinals and Bears have already set up interviews with McCoy for this weekend. Whether there is enough time for the Bills to do the same is unclear at this time.
