Buffalo television station WIVB has modified its story about the Buffalo Bills’ interest in Jon Gruden to be their next head coach.



A “highly placed Bills source” informed the local CBS affiliate the club will hold informal talks with several candidates but won’t make a hire until after the season.



The source also confirmed the Bills had reached out to Gruden, but through “back-channel conversations with someone close to” the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders coach.



WIVB previously stated, citing unnamed sources, the Bills and Gruden had met “face-to-face.”



The Bills fired Dick Jauron and appointed defensive coordinator Perry Fewell interim head coach on Tuesday, one day after Gruden signed a multiyear contract extension with ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”
