WGR 550 SportsRadio - A family reunion: Clayton on Schottenheimers to Buffalo
"'Brian and Marty Schottenheimer play a big role in this thing,' said John Clayton. 'Not out of the question is they could get any configuration of Schottenheimers.

There is something there that very well could happen.'"
Schumer says Bills aren't leaving Buffalo | ProFootballTalk.com
"The Bills are part of the very fabric of Western New York, and in Western New York they will stay," Schumer said, per WIVB-TV. "Ralph Wilson is committed to Western New York, has had no contact with any purported suitors, and flatly told me that the Bills are staying in Buffalo. Period. I have long fought to keep the team here, and will continue to do so with every bit of clout I have. I was tremendously reassured to learn today, directly from Ralph, that there has been zero contact with this company and that there is absolutely no consideration of entertaining any of this company's potential future offers. Buffalo Bills fans can rest a little bit easier tonight."
Too many snaps for Buffalo's defense - BuffaloBills.com
"When the regular season came to a close last Sunday there was no defensive unit in the NFL that had been on the field for more plays in 2009 than the Bills, 1,086 to be exact. Part of the reason why was Buffalo’s offense, which was last in the league in third down conversion percentage (26%) and last in first downs per game (14.6). They were also last in total offensive plays for the season with just 911."

Lombardi: "Bills have their guy in mind" – Inside The Bills
"Bottom line though is while the Bills brass might have their guy in mind there are some hurdles still to be cleared.

"Knowing the close relationship that Bills GM Buddy Nix has with Schottenheimer, he’s unlikely to be completely out of the picture until a new coach is officially named. Nix said he wanted an experienced head coach that was a disciplinarian and a leader. Marty is all of those things and has 200 career wins on his resume in 326 games. I’m not saying he’s officially a candidate, but you have to wonder if Schottenheimer is that extra ace sitting in Nix’s back pocket."
