The Buffalo Bills are currently without a head coach after firing Dick Jauron and the perfect man for the job is former Bills player and current coach of the year in the UFL, Jim Haslett.

This year, Haslett joined the new United Football League, a debutant football league, in October and led the Florida Tuskers to a 6-0 record in their first season.
