But isn't it great how all of the vacancies are filling and the real candidates are still available for the Bills?
Real Candidates? I think Mora Jr and Green were real candidates. I wonder why TD never interviewed them.

ATLANTA -- On a day when the Atlanta Falcons appeared poised to pursue the biggest fish in the pool of potential head coaching candidates, the franchise reversed course, with ESPN.com confirming the club has hired San Francisco defensive coordinator Jim Mora.
The Thursday decision to hire Mora wasn't overly surprising, given that he fits the profile the team had developed in its search for the successor to Dan Reeves, but the timing was unusual. ESPN.com reported early in the day the Falcons had arranged an interview with LSU coach Nick Saban within the next week. But sources close to Saban said the coach's representatives received a "strange [phone] call" from Atlanta officials at late afternoon, apprising them the club was headed in a different direction.
Mora's wife was en route to Atlanta on Thursday night for a Friday news conference.
