For Bills fans who are curious, I wanted to provide a rundown of starting quarterbacks Schottenheimer has been associated with."

"'I don't know what the time schedule is on that,'' Grimm said. 'I'm not really worried about it right now. I've got a few important things to take care of first....

BillBoard: Simms on Bills
"'You’re in Buffalo, come on,' Phil Simms said. 'If you’re not teaching toughness first, then you’re not going to win big time, because of the weather and everything else.

Buffalo Bills not in any hurry to hire head coach - Peter King - SI.com
"We don't know who the Bills' coach might be because, and I can assure you this, they don't know either. The Bills, I believe, have given up on two intriguing candidates, Bill Cowher and Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh.... When the Bills began this process, they made it clear they're going through a long process that won't be short-cutted unless Cowher would have said yes early. Look for this to take between a week and a month to get resolved. If they're the only job open, why rush?"

It's unclear whether Haslett will use a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense in Washington. He once ran the 3-4 while serving as the Steelers' defensive coordinator.
