Bills Coaching Carousel Continues: D-Line Coach Departs
30 Jan
Summary
- Marcus West leaves Bills to become Buccaneers' defensive line coach.
- West previously served as assistant defensive line coach for Bills.
- Bills' defense ranked sixth in rushing yards allowed in 2025.
The Buffalo Bills are experiencing significant staff changes under new head coach Joe Brady, with another position coach departing. Defensive line coach Marcus West has agreed to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the same capacity.
West, 42, spent four seasons with the Bills, initially as assistant defensive line coach before being promoted. His departure comes after the Bills' defense allowed the sixth-most rushing yards in the NFL during the 2025 season.
The Bills' coaching staff transitions are ongoing, with openings for offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, and cornerbacks coach still to be filled. Notably, former CBs coach Jahmile Addae is set to join the Miami Dolphins in 2026.
Buffalo did make one addition, hiring Pat Meyer as offensive line coach. The team's defensive performance in 2025 included a sixth-worst pass-rush win rate, though rookie Deone Walker showed promise.
