Just reading up on Bruce SMith and I found this gem. Joe Gibbs wants to interview several of Buffalo's assistants that worked for Williams.
Meanwhile, Gibbs made some progress in assembling his staff. John Burrell, recently Jacksonville's assistant athletic trainer, was hired as head trainer to replace Dean Kleinschmidt. Gibbs also said he has several interviews scheduled for the next few days.
But Gibbs could not meet with the Buffalo Bills assistants he and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams hope to hire. The Bills officially named Mike Mularkey their new coach, but Mularkey was putting together his staff and might retain several of those assistants.
The assistants in question include Bills defensive coordinator Jerry Gray, whom Washington hopes to make defensive backs coach; defensive line coach Tim Krumrie and linebackers coach Donnie Blackmon. The Redskins also were believed to be seeking Bills assistant head coach Dick LeBeau, but he apparently will land the Pittsburgh Steelers' or Bills' defensive coordinator job.
