BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – A person familiar with negotiations has told The Associated Press that Dave Wannstedt has agreed to a multiyear deal to become the Buffalo Bills assistant head coach.
The person said the deal was reached Friday, and spoke on the condition of anonymity because it had not yet been announced by the Bills.
Wannstedt spent the past six years coaching the University of Pittsburgh, where he was forced to resign last month. In Buffalo, he’ll be reunited with Bills head coach Chan Gailey.
Wannstedt was the Miami Dolphins coach when he hired Gailey as his offensive coordinator in 2000. The two worked together for two years.
Wannstedt is a defensive specialist and will help oversee a defense that struggled last season.
