Philip Rivers could join Josh Allen and Bills to chase Super Bowl in 2026

The Buffalo Bills have surprised the entire NFL after confirming that they interviewed Philip Rivers for their head coaching position. After coming out of retirement to play for the Colts, this would be a new chapter in his career that no one expected. “We have completed an interview with Philip Rivers for our head coaching position.”

At the moment, Rivers’ sideline experience comes from his role as head coach at St. Michael Catholic High School. In fact, his players went viral celebrating what their coach was accomplishing as a quarterback in Indianapolis during the 2025 season.

However, the NFL would be a completely different story. After Sean McDermott’s controversial departure, the expectation would be to win the Super Bowl alongside Josh Allen, which is why, once the news became public, the interview was met with a lot of skepticism.
