With Sean McDermott soon to be officially announced as the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills, reports are beginning to circulate about the staff he intends to build. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has one of those, announcing that Carolina Panthers linebackers coach Al Holcomb is likely to join McDermott in Buffalo as the team’s next defensive coordinator.
Sean McDermott's likely DC in Buffalo is Panthers LB coach Al Holcomb, per source. Logical hire and promotion.

Holcomb has been coaching in the National Football League since 2009, when he joined the New York Giants as a quality control coach.
