Leslie Frazier Taking A Year Off
2 years agoBuffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has decided to take a year off from coaching in 2023 and plans to return in 2024. General manager Brandon Beane said that to his knowledge, Frazier's decision has nothing to do with his health. The 63-year-old definitely wants to return to coaching after some time away, but the Bills aren't sure if it will be with them. It's unknown how Buffalo will choose to fill the role, but it's possible that head coach Sean McDermott will call the defensive plays in 2023. Senior defensive assistant/defensive line coach Eric Washington and senior defensive assistant Al Holcomb have previous experience in defensive coordinator roles in the NFL. Frazier has been the Bills' defensive coordinator since being hired by McDermott in 2017, and their defense has been one of the best in the NFL for the last six years.
