Philip Rivers’ NFL career may not be over after all.
Weeks after coming out of retirement to quarterback the Indianapolis Colts, the 44-year-old is reportedly interviewing for the Buffalo Bills’ head coaching job.
ESPN reported that Rivers, who is currently the head coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama, is expected to make his case to lead a franchise with Super Bowl ambitions and MVP quarterback Josh Allen.
Rivers has no head coaching experience at the NFL level. He retired from professional football in 2021 but returned this season after injuries depleted the Colts’ quarterback depth. Rivers appeared in three games. Despite some positive performances, Indianapolis lost all three contests and missed the playoffs.
The Bills are in search of a head coach after firing Sean McDermott on Monday, two days after Buffalo lost a dramatic playoff game to the Denver Broncos.
NFL reporter Ian Rapoport has noted that Rivers and Allen have a close relationship. Allen is expected to play a significant role in the team’s search for a new head coach.
