Buffalo Rumblings
The Buffalo Bills 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.
There are noticeably no candidates from teams currently in the playoffs, as they aren’t allowed to interview until after their season is completed.
We will keep updating as names and information come in, so keep coming back.

Brady has been Buffalo’s OC for two+ seasons, replacing Ken Dorsey midway through 2023. They’ve 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.

Weaver was the Bills defensive line coach in 2013 but that predates Beane’s time in Buffalo. He spent a year as the Houston Texans defensive coordinator in 2020 and 2024 and 2025 as the Dolphins defensive coordinator.
