The Bills have announced the hiring of former Dolphins' linebacker coach George Edwards as their new defensive coordinator, per Adam Schefter's ever-popping Twitter feed. Edwards has fifteen years of experience as a pro coach, and is well-regarded among his peers in the NFL, but that's not the odd thing about this story.
Well, That Was Quick: Florida Defensive Coordinator George Edwards Leaves After 1 Month, Named Bills DC
The weirdness is that he leaves his current job as Florida’s defensive coordinator after only a month on the job, putting Florida back in coaching limbo after the departure of former defensive coordinator Charlie Strong to Louisville, wide receivers’ coach Billy Gonzales’ move to LSU, and the resignation/un-resignation of Urban Meyer. For Florida fans, the offseason required reading has been the “seeking positions” section of Coaching Monthly.
As for Bills fans, Edwards’ reputation among his peers can’t be solace for those seeking a name-brand hire after the less-than-thrilled reception they gave Chan Gailey. But then, after hiring Chan Gaily to reinvigorate the franchise, how much worse can it get?
