Sean McDermott‘s second coaching staff in Buffalo will have a decidedly Crimson Tide hue to it.
The Bills have confirmed reports that surfaced over the weekend that McDermott has hired Shea Tierney as an offensive assistant. As of yet, the organization hasn’t given Tierney a specific title.
Tierney has spent the past two seasons on Nick Saban‘s Alabama staff as an offensive analyst. He has previous NFL experience, having worked with the Philadelphia Eagles for the four years prior to his time in Alabama as a coaching intern.
The Tuscaloosa-to-Buffalo pipeline has been quite busy the past four weeks.
In mid-January, the Bills announced that Alabama offensive coordinator Brian Daboll had taken the same job with the NFL club. A week ago, it was confirmed that offensive analyst William Vlachos would be following Daboll to the Bills as an offensive assistant.
