On Sunday, the Bills suddenly parted ways with defensive line coach Karl Dunbar. The formal announcement shed no light on why he was “relieved of his duties.”
On Monday, Dunbar issued a statement regarding the move. The statement also sheds no light on the situation.
“While I am completely surprised and disappointed in being relieved of my duties by the Buffalo Bills, I would like to thank the Bills organization, Terry and Kim Pegula, Coach Ryan, the other Bills coaches, all of the Bills players and all of the staff in Buffalo,” Dunbar said. “I am especially grateful to the numerous players and coaches who reached out and shared their support of me. I wish them success in the future as I seek my next coaching opportunity.”
There has to be more to the story; coaches don’t simply get run out the door in the middle of March. If it’s going to happen, it happens not long after the season ends.
