The Buffalo Bills gave defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier a promotion this week. The defensive coordinator had the title “assistant head coach” added to duties.
Frazier has been the Bills’ defensive coordinator since Sean McDermott took over as head coach in 2017. During most of that time, he’s also been the team’s defensive play-caller.
Throughout Frazier’s tenure, he’s often received praise and respect from Bills players. While the defense is viewed as McDermott’s scheme, players often times have expressed Frazier’s importance to the unit’s successes. They showed their gratitude when he signed his extension this week as well.
Some players took to social media to show their excitement for Frazier’s promotion. Here’s what a few had to say:
