Before the Buffalo Bills dismantled the Arizona Cardinals at New Era Field in Week 3, an internet rumor regarding a potential front office shakeup in Western New York was confirmed by local media.
Apparently, on a message board, someone suggested they heard Tom Coughlin recently met with the Bills.
Here’s how Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reporter Sal Mariona responded when asked about it:
Yes, but not sure if it was a consult or a job interview. https://t.co/l0romX1vzI

Soon thereafter, there was speculation that the Pegulas weren’t even in Buffalo when Coughlin was said to have visited the team, thereby making it extremely unlikely it was even a preliminary interview to see if the former Giants head coach would be interested in a football czar — can we please come up with a new name for that?
