‘Meanwhile, the Bills have also requested permission to interview Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, according to Schefter. Hamilton has been Indianapolis’ offensive coordinator for the past two seasons in which the offense has taken a step forward with Andrew Luck at quarterback.’

‘Jets owner Woody Johnson took strong interest in Marrone as soon as he became available, and now that Johnson and his consultants, Rob Wolf and Charley Casserly, have returned from interviews in Seattle, they are set to interview Marrone.’

‘The heavy interest in Gase is no surprise. He is a bright offensive mind who got the best out of Peyton Manning last season, and he adjusted midseason to scheme a Denver running game this season.’

‘Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase was already scheduled to be interviewed in Denver on Saturday. Gase is available to be interviewed during the Broncos’ weekend off before they prepare to host an AFC Divisional playoff game on Jan. 11.’

‘So after a review of the 2014 Bills season we can all agree there are plenty of positives and negatives. It’s now up to GM Doug Whaley to put the right people in place, starting with a new Head Coach and competition at starting quarterback. With Russ Brandon’s role with the team in question, Doug Whaley will have a lot to do with whether or not the Bills can break the NFL’s longest playoff drought.’

‘Had Polian taken over in Buffalo, he had earmarked A.J. Smith to be his general manager. A native of Cranston and graduate of Bishop Hendricken High, Smith was general manager of the San Diego Chargers from 2003 through 2012, building teams that won five AFC West titles and lost to the Patriots in the conference championship game of the 2007 season.’

‘Every game told a story, and within those 16 stories there were 16 plays that shaped the Bills’ 2014 season…’

‘There are currently five other head coaching vacancies in the NFL. Sal Maiorana looks at the possibility, whether it’s likely or a long shot, of him landing in …’.

‘The Bills will have to interview Bevell, Quinn and McDaniels this weekend while their respective teams are on a bye week in the playoffs.’

‘While Whaley’s future with the organization has been up in the air, the fact that the Bills are trusting him to run the search for a head coach is a good sign for his job security.’

‘While most of the national and local New York media has painted a picture of Marrone being a strong head coaching candidate for the Jets, Lupica doesn’t seem to be buying in.’

‘Since Gase took over for McCoy in 2013, the Broncos’ offense has finished first or second in scoring each of the last two years. Peyton Manning certainly had a lot to do with that, but this season as Manning’s play tailed off toward the end of the year, Gase found a way to keep the offense productive with the running game.’
