On Thursday, the Buffalo Bills (4-12) said Wannstedt met with team officials for an open position in their organization, but they would not discuss the details of the meeting.
Wannstedt is a defensive-minded coach, an area where the Bills suffered this season. They allowed 5,786 total offensive yards to opponents and 2,700 of those were rushing yards.
After their season ended, the Bills fired inside linebacker coach DeMontie Cross.
Wannstedt has a relationship with current Bills coach Chan Gailey. In 2000, Wannstedt was the head coach for the Miami Dolphins and hired Gailey as his offensive coordinator.
