Philip Rivers has pulled out of the race to become the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
Rivers was interviewed by the team on Friday after expressing an interest in replacing Sean McDermott, who was fired after failing to reach the Super Bowl.
The 44-year-old quarterback played in the NFL last season, coming out of retirement to play three games for the Indianapolis Colts. Had he got the job with the Bills, he would have become the first man to have gone from playing one season to coaching the next since Norm Van Brocklin, the Hall of Fame quarterback who played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1960, then became the Minnesota Vikings’ head coach in 1961.
But that will not happen now as, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Rivers has withdrawn from consideration.
