After multiple years of ineptitude on the defensive side of the ball the Bills have cut ties with coordinator George Edwards.The Bills had an all-time bad season this year setting multiple team worsts. They allowed 5,938 yards which is the most in franchise history and 434 points which is second worst all-time.
Edwards lasted two seasons in Buffalo before ultimately being let go by the team Monday afternoon. Edwards brought with him the 3-4 defense and it never panned out accordingly. The defense allowed 400 yards a remarkable eight times this season and that just simply isn't good enough for a young and building team.
Edwards is being replaced by current assistant head coach and linebackers coach Dave Wannstedt who just completed his first season with the team. He primarily works with the teams' inside linebackers.
Wannstedt brings many years of head coaching experience both at the professional and collegiate level. He coached the Chicago Bears from 1993-1998 and the Miami Dolphins until 2004. His most recent stint was with the University of Pittsburgh.
