Buffalo Bills Reportedly Interested in Mike Shanahan

After firing head coach Dick Jauron earlier this week and naming Ryan Fitzpatrick the new starting quarterback, as well as naming Perry Fewell the interim coach, the Buffalo Bills are now reportedly pursuing former Denver Broncos head coach, Mike Shanahan.

At least they've got the right idea.

When you fail to crack .500 football for the fourth straight year under the same coach, it's inevitable to want to change the tires of the system, and like most NFL team overhauls, that change usually starts with the coaching.

NFL.com's Vic Carucci is reporting that the Bills will meet with Shanahan sometime next week, and that the two-time Super Bowl champion is their "number one" head coaching target.

The Bills have been said to be willing to pay Shanahan any amount of money, while it appears they would also be willing to relinquish any and all power and decision making to Shanahan upon hiring him.

The Bills have made two more questionable calls since canning Jauron, as they've named Ryan Fitzpatrick the new starting quarterback over supposed "franchise quarterback" Trent Edwards and recently signed former second round pick, Brian Brohm.

Regardless of any moves or success the Bills have for the remainder of the season, there is little doubt that more changes need to be made, and the early line of thinking is that Shanahan is just the man for the job.
