Philip Rivers removes himself from consideration for Bills head-coaching job, AP sources say
January 26, 2026
Philip Rivers has informed the Buffalo Bills he is withdrawing from consideration for the team’s head-coaching job, two people with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private. The Athletic first reported the news. The 44-year-old quarterback, who came out of retirement last month and started three games with the Indianapolis Colts, interviewed with the Bills on Friday. Buffalo’s search process began Wednesday, two days after Sean McDermott was fired following a nine-year tenure. Including Rivers, Buffalo has met with seven candidates.
