According to Jason La Canfora, Bills owner Kim Pegula has been a huge advocate for DC Leslie Frazier to get another opportunity as a head coach.
Frazier had a three-year stint as the coach of the Vikings before eventually finding his way to Buffalo. He’s been an integral part of the Bills’ success the past few years, especially on defense, and Pegula has been a champion for him to get another shot to lead a team.
Frazier is older than a lot of the other coaches who will generate a lot of buzz on the hiring cycle this year but having this level of backing from an owner is unusual, so that should help Frazier. He interviewed for the Colts head coaching job in 2018.
Frazier, 61, played five seasons for the Bears and was part of the 1985 team that won the Super Bowl.
Frazier began his NFL coaching career with the Eagles as their defensive backs coach in 1999. He had brief stints with the Bengals and Colts before the Vikings hired him as their defensive coordinator in 2007.
Frazier worked his way up to head coach and spent three years in the position before he was fired after the 2013 season.
Since then, Frazier has worked for the Buccaneers, Ravens and Bills.
As the Vikings’ head coach, Frazier led them to a record of 21-32-1 (39.8 percent), which includes one playoff appearance.
