Mike McDaniel, a former Dolphins coach, was all set to interview for the Bills' head coach position. But then, he canceled the interview. This is not the first time he's done this. He also skipped a second interview with the Browns recently. So, what's going on? McDaniel is known for his talkative nature. Maybe that's why he decided to skip the Bills' interview. After all, the Bills' owner and GM had a long, never-ending press conference. Who knows how long McDaniel's interview would have lasted? The Browns also wanted to interview McDaniel, but he turned them down. It's not clear why he's changing his mind so much. Maybe he's being picky about where he wants to work next. But why would he turn down the Bills? They have a star player, Josh Allen.
Some people think McDaniel might have realized that coaching the Bills would be a tough job. The team's owner has high expectations. They want to win games and make it to the playoffs. But winning in the playoffs is even harder. Maybe McDaniel doesn't want that kind of pressure. In Cleveland, things are bad, but there's room for improvement. In Buffalo, things are good, but there's a risk of things getting worse. Maybe McDaniel is thinking about these things. Or maybe he's just being careful about where he wants to work next.
