Bills Set to Interview Mike McDaniel on Friday
Mike McDaniel is in the spotlight as the Buffalo Bills prepare to interview him for their head coaching vacancy. This meeting is scheduled for Friday, promising to be a key moment in McDaniel’s career.
Details of the Upcoming Interview
McDaniel currently serves as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers and is expected to retain this position through the 2026 season. However, he faces uncertainty as head coaching opportunities arise.
- Interview Date: Friday
- Current Role: Chargers Offensive Coordinator
- Future Possibility: Buffalo Bills Head Coach
Recent Coaching Developments
The Bills are actively seeking a replacement for Sean McDermott, who was recently fired. In their search, they have already conducted three interviews this week.
- Other Teams Interviewed: Falcons, Ravens, Browns, Raiders, Titans
- Withdrawn Consideration: McDaniel has stepped back from consideration for the Browns job.
As of now, most teams have filled their coaching vacancies, leaving McDaniel as a strong candidate for the Bills if they choose to proceed with his hiring.
Potential Impact on McDaniel’s Career
If McDaniel secures the head coaching position with the Bills, he would play a pivotal role in developing quarterback Josh Allen. Additionally, he would face his former team, the Miami Dolphins, twice a season.
Should the Bills opt for a different candidate, McDaniel will likely continue working with the Chargers and quarterback Justin Herbert in the upcoming fall season.
