Philip Rivers Interviews for Buffalo Bills Head Coach
Philip Rivers, who used to play football in the NFL, is now being considered for a big job.
He is meeting with the Buffalo Bills team to talk about becoming their new head coach.
This is a very unusual situation because Rivers has never been a coach in college or the NFL before.
He has been coaching high school football since he retired from playing professionally.
The Bills are looking for someone new after their previous coach, Sean McDermott, was let go.
Rivers played a few games for the Indianapolis Colts recently, but the team did not win any of those games.
If he gets the job, it would be a very rare move in NFL history.
Philip Rivers, a former NFL quarterback, is interviewing for the Buffalo Bills head coaching position.
Rivers currently coaches at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama.
He briefly returned to the NFL in 2025, starting three games for the Indianapolis Colts, which all resulted in losses.
The Buffalo Bills are looking to replace Sean McDermott, who was recently fired.
Rivers' potential hiring would be nearly unprecedented, as very few have gone from playing in the NFL to coaching in the league.
