Buffalo: League sources say Fassel's interview with the Bills general manager Tom Donahoe on Tuesday did not vault him into the favorite's role in Buffalo, even though Fassel reportedly was asked to stay and continue his interview Wednesday morning.
There are some indications that former Bears head coach Dick Jauron has emerged as the Bills' leading candidate. Donahoe was said to be very impressed with Jauron, who met with the Bills on Monday. Donahoe has made it known he would like to hire an experienced NFL head coach, if possible, because he's wary of going the opposite route, as he did three years ago when he gave Gregg Williams his first head coaching job.
Donahoe also is scheduled to interview Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey on Wednesday morning, although it's unclear whether that meeting will be impacted by Fassel's decision to stay over.
