NFL great Philip Rivers<\/a> reportedly removed himself as a candidate for the Buffalo Bills head-coaching job despite earning high marks for his interview.<\/p>\n

Rivers dropped out on Monday morning, according to multiple reports. He had been one of the handful of people considered for the job to replace Sean McDermott. The Bills fired McDermott last week following a heartbreaking loss in the playoffs to the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n

The former quarterback interviewed for the job after playing for the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> this season. He came off the sideline as the head coach for a high school team and was thrust into the starting role once Daniel Jones tore his Achilles and was lost for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Rivers never won a game with the Colts and, ultimately, Indianapolis\u2019 chances of making the playoffs were sunk. By playing in the league this season, Rivers also reset his Hall of Fame clock even as he was likely on the verge of making it to Canton this year.<\/p>\n

It appeared that Rivers was a viable option as head coach in the Bills brass\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n

“One of the biggest stories of the year was Philip Rivers coming back to the field, unbelievable, and actually it is not done yet,”\u00a0NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport<\/a>\u00a0said on “NFL Gameday Morning.”<\/p>\n

“Philip Rivers interviewed in the last several days for the Buffalo Bills head coaching job, in person. That is real, this actually happened, and my understanding is this is under serious consideration<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Buffalo has interviewed Grant Udinski, Anthony Lynn, Anthony Weaver, Lou Anarumo, Brian Daboll and Joe Brady for the job in addition to Rivers.<\/p>\n
