They only fired Sean McDermott earlier this week. Daboll appears to be a strong candidate in Buffalo due to his previous experience helping develop Josh Allen into an MVP winner at quarterback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Bills only have five head coaching candidates so far. They are Daboll, Grant Udinski, Anthony Lynn, Joe Brady, and Lou Anarumo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/bills-request-an-interview-with-jaguars-oc-grant-udinski\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">per reports<\/a>. Daboll seems to be a strong candidate in this pool. Udinski is among the favorites in Cleveland, Lynn and Anarumo would be uninspiring, and Brady would be unpopular as an in-house promotion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bills owner Terry Pegula also confirmed that the team would like to speak with candidates who are still coaching in the playoffs. That list could include Klint Kubiak, Chris Shula, Aden Durde, Mike LaFleur, Nate Scheelhaase, Thomas Brown, Vance Joseph, and Davis Webb, to name some of the obvious potential choices. If the Bills take this decision through the Super Bowl, the Titans could be placed on hold by Daboll, which would risk losing out on some fallback options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Titans will have to be deliberate and methodical if that\u2019s the case. Other offensive coordinator candidates could include Kliff Kingsbury and Arthur Smith. It\u2019s unclear how interested Kingsbury would actually be in the Titans\u2019 OC job since it\u2019s unclear why he never interviewed for the head coaching gig despite receiving an interview request from Mike Borgonzi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Other options for OC could include Bobby Slowik, Frank Smith, Klay Kubiak, and Adam Stenavich. Saleh has a deep rolodex of contacts. One of the benefits of there being 10 head coaching vacancies this offseason is that lots of quality coordinators and assistant coach candidates are also available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Titans must navigate this situation with caution and care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bills remain in the early stages of their head coaching process.
