Bills hire three assistants; retain another

[justasportsfan]

Bills head coach Chan Gailey moved closer to filling out the balance of his coaching staff as the club announced the hiring of three new assistants and the retention of another on Monday.

Buffalo hired George Cortez as quarterbacks coach, Bruce DeHaven as special teams coach and Stan Hixon as receivers coach. Adrian White was also retained from the previous coaching staff.

“Things are coming along well with the staff at this point,” Gailey said. “Time is not as important as getting it right and we feel really good about the coaches that we have right now.”

DeHaven should be a pretty good replacement for April. Maybe not an even wash, but about as good as could be expected.

I'm excited to see what Cortez can do with the passing game or see what he can do in developing qb's.

Happy that DeHaven is back as special teams coach, that does help palette the loss of April

I know nothing about Hixon....yet.. waiting for info in 3....2....1.....

I agree, I'm interested to see what Cortez can do.

Hixon was WR's coach for the Redskins since 2005 and before that was WR's coach at LSU, where he helped tutor Michael Clayton, Josh Reed, Devery Henderson and Skyler Green to terrific seasons.

Surprised Dat Nguyen after being rumored is still not named.

National Signing Day is Wednesday which is the last requirement for College coaches if our DC is coming from those ranks.

Maybe we're going with Dat Phan and not Nguyen

Why does the name Bruce DeHaven sound familiar?

He was the Bills ST Coach from 86-99 i believe.

Cuz he was our special teams coach during the days of that Music City Miracle.... he was fired after that, but now is back...

Maybe the DC is on the staff of Indy or NO and that's why we haven't heard anything. Maybe.
