Now two weeks into the process, Pro Football Weekly hears that the Bills coaching search has become embarrassing, with more candidates turning down interviews than those showing an interest in the job. After speaking to bigwigs like Mike Shanahan and Bill Cowher but making no headway, the team has since been denied by Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, two candidates whom new GM Buddy Nix clearly had a liking for. Thus far, only former interim coach Perry Fewell and Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier have agreed to formal interviews and although Cardinals assistant Russ Grimm is lined up for an interview and others still could change their minds about the job, it appears Buffalo's pickings will be alarmingly slim.

Bills Already Small Coaching List Is Dwindling The list of candidates for the Bills’ coaching job is dwindling, and not by the team’s choice. Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer turned down Buffalo’s request for an interview this week. Perry Fewell, who finished the season as the Bills’ interim head coach, was hired as the Giants’ defensive coordinator on Thursday. That leaves Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier as the only known candidate the Bills have interviewed among teams that remain in contention. Source: Yahoo Sports
