At the conclusion of Buffalo Bills’ 2023 NFL season, assistant head coach/defensive line Eric Washington was hired by the Chicago Bears to fill their vacancy at defensive coordinator. That meant head coach Sean McDermott would need to hire someone new into the role of defensive line coach with the Bills.
On Friday, February 2, Marcus West was officially named the new defensive line coach of the Buffalo Bills. This represents a promotion for West, having joined One Bills Drive as assistant defensive line coach in 2022.
Entering the ranks of football coaching in 2008, West also brings experience as a former defensive lineman at the NFL, NFL Europe, and CFL levels.
