Philip Rivers is out of the Bills HC sweepstakes. After interviewing with Buffalo, he’s withdrawing himself from consideration, per sources.

Some of the NFL reporters indicated that he interviewed well and that the Bills were strongly considering to offer him the job.

But it sounds like he bowed out due to family reasons. Perhaps he wants to continue coaching his son in HS until he graduates. Or maybe the family wasn't quite ready to move to a different city yet.

I agree. I think he wants to coach his son. They were close last year. Hopefully they win it all this year


I will throw this out there if the discussion ever comes up. Anyone wanting to replace SS with PR will be very disappointed Phil would never do that to his friend. But together. HC and OC. would be a lot of fun to watch

It could be he and his family took a look at the forecast for this week and decided there was no way they were moving to Buffalo

I can’t be reading this right.

This has to be some knock-off Hall of Fame or something, it can’t be the actual NFL Hall of Fame.

There is not a single world whatsoever in which Bill Belichick should not be a First-Ballot Hall of Famer.



Bill Belichick, the 8-time Super Bowl-winning HC, is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, per @SethWickersham and @DVNJr. Belichick fell short of the 40 out of 50 votes needed for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Good. Hope the voters Barry Bonds him.

Looks like Polian had a little to do with it

From the ESPN report: Bill Polian was a vocal figure in the Hall of Fame deliberations involving Bill Belichick, with Spygate and Deflategate coming up among voters during discussions.

Per a voter who spoke anonymously, Polian — the former Bills and Colts GM and longtime Patriots rival — told some voters he believed Belichick should “wait a year” as penance for Spygate.
