Buffalo Bills coach staff: 2016 better or worse than 2015?

The Bills had some high profile changes on their coaching staff. Did it make them better or worse?

As we approach training camp, it’s time to take a look at the Buffalo Bills to see if they actually improved from last year’s 8-8 squad. We’re going to start with the coaching staff.

Additions

  • Rob Ryan - asst. head coach/defense
  • Ed Reed - asst. defensive backs coach
  • Kathryn Smith - special teams quality control coach

Subtractions

  • Donnie Henderson - defensive backs coach
  • Michael Hamlin - special teams quality control coach

Rex Ryan consolidated his position as the master of the Bills defense by adding three extremely loyal people to his coaching staff in his twin brother Rob, longtime player Reed, and Blake, who was on the fringe of football before getting the call from Rex.
