The Buffalo Bills have interviewed former star quarterback Philip Rivers for their head coaching vacancy today, per The Insiders on NFL Network.
According to the report, the meeting between the Bills and Rivers took place on Saturday, and there is a "legit chance" that the veteran signal-caller could secure the position. This move would represent a significant jump for Rivers, who has spent his post-playing career coaching at the high school level at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama.
Rivers, 42, played 17 seasons in the NFL, primarily with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers, before finishing his career with the Indianapolis Colts. Known for his leadership and deep understanding of the game, Rivers finished his career with over 63,000 passing yards and 421 touchdowns. While he lacks professional coaching experience, his name has frequently surfaced in coaching circles since his retirement in 2021.
The Bills are looking to fill the leadership role as they prepare for the upcoming season, and the inclusion of Rivers in the interview process signals a potential shift in the team's coaching philosophy. No official hire has been announced at this time.
