The Buffalo Bills haven't officially interviewed Klint Kubiak for their head coach opening.

To be fair, Kubiak is kind of busy.

Kubiak is the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, who are going to the Super Bowl to take on the New England Patriots.

That game is two weeks away, and so it's not clear how a Kubiak interview timeline might work if the Bills are interested.

Kubiak's name was one of the first floated by pundits after Sean McDermott was fired, but Buffalo has spent the past week interviewing other candidates.

There have been offensive minds involved, like Brian Daboll, and intriguing candidates, like Philip Rivers.

But it does feel like, if timelines were all created equal, like Kubiak would have to factor in in some form.

A sense may be provided by early in this week. If the Bills start moving quickly toward hiring a new head coach, and potentially get it done by the end of the week, then Kubiak may not have been in the picture at all.

If Buffalo starts to slow play the process, then maybe they are holding out hope for Kubiak.

It's a tricky spot to be, but the Bills have been on an odd timeline from the start. Since they fired McDermott after two playoff games, a lot of the action had already taken place. John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski had both been fired and hired already before Buffalo had a chance to do anything.

So you can be sure the Bills will try to seize back any control of the timeline that they can here, and we'll see if that involves Kubiak.
