Per John Clayton of ESPN:
Joe Gibbs could force the hand of Bills general manager Tom Donahoe to make a decision about his head coach as early as Friday. On Thursday, Gibbs officially announced that Gregg Williams will be his defensive coordinator. Williams wants to bring his Bills defensive staff, but they are under contract. It puts Donahoe in a position to make a decision. If he hires an offensive coach such as Jim Fassel, Donahoe may try to convince him to keep the staff for the league's second-ranked defense. But if Donahoe hires a defensive coach such as Dick Jauron, Donahoe may have to let him bring his staff from Chicago, and if that happens, Donahoe can get off the hook for several hundred thousand dollars of contracts for defensive coaches by letting them go to the Redskins. Should Donahoe decide as early as Friday, it could favor Steelers offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey or Jauron. Donahoe can't talk to Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis until after the playoffs.
