Buffalo Bills interview Philip Rivers for head coaching job (apnews.com)

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Philip Rivers interviewed with the Buffalo Bills for their head coaching job on Friday, the latest twist in a busy couple of months for one of the most prolific passers in NFL history.

The 44-year-old Rivers has no previous NFL coaching experience, having worked since his initial retirement from the league as a high school coach in his native Alabama. Last month, he ended his five-year retirement and finished the season with the Indianapolis Colts. Rivers started three games — all losses — in a failed attempt to salvage the Colts’ playoff chances.

Rivers was the fourth candidate to interview since the Bills launched their search on Wednesday. Sean McDermott was fired Monday after going 98-50 and reaching the playoffs eight times in nine seasons, making the Bills the 10th team to replace a head coach this cycle.

I don't think one of the chokey-est QBs in history is the right person to take over as coach of a QB-centric team.

In a way, it's kind of appropriate.

Josh Allen is the Philip Rivers of his generation.

Josh Allen is the greatest goober manchild I’ve ever seen play QB in the NFL. And I legit don’t even mean that as an insult

I don’t see how this could possibly work out for the Bills. It feels like New England hiring Jerrod Mayo last season. He was a good player in his time, and may someday make a good coach, but hiring him straight into a head coaching role was doomed to fail.

So please, Buffalo, hire Rivers!

You have got to be kidding me. Brandon Beane is a joke of a GM. Here are the current candidates: Brian Daboll, Anthony Lynn, Anthony Weaver, now Rivers. Just a sterling cast.

That is one impressively-sized pile of steaming mediocrity.
