Upon learning of Clancy Pendergast’s departure from the Kansas City Chiefs earlier, it was easy to connect the dots and assume he’d be on his way to join Chan Gailey as the Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator.

Well, not so fast.

I just learned minutes ago that as of this evening the organization has not contacted Pendergast about joining their staff. While that doesn’t automatically disqualify him from eventually being the choice, it makes it highly unlikely to happen.

I’ve been told since Monday that the Bills already “have something in the works for a defensive coordinator”.  If that’s holds true, then it’s definitely not Pendergast.

This would contradict many rumors and speculation that Pendergast would be joining Gailey and put in charge of the defense.

Who exactly is their choice? Your guess at this time is as good as mine.  I’ve been told it’s going to be a guy who will run a 3-4 defense. “Well, I got this much, Patrick: They’re going to a 3-4.” he said Monday.
