Team in Transition
Bills still have offer on table for Shanahan | ProFootballTalk.com
"We're told that the Bills still have an offer on the table for Shanahan, even if he has no interest in accepting it. The Bills have been rebuffed by Mike Holmgren, Bill Cowher, and Jon Gruden. But that doesn't mean Shanahan was the fourth choice. Instead, the Bills apparently went after multiple coaches simultaneously in the hopes of generating serious interest from at least one of them."

But the Packers already had a strong core of front-seven players. Kansas City switched to the 3-4 this year and ranks 30th overall.
