Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier has had a storied career throughout his tenure in the NFL which is why many were a bit worried when he interviewed for the vacant Indianapolis Colts’ head coaching position Saturday.

When Josh McDaniels backed out of his agreement to become their head coach, Indianapolis was scrambling to add a new leader of the franchise and Frazier was one of the men on their list of candidates.

Despite spending just one season as Buffalo’s defensive coordinator, he helped the unit overachieve, to say the least. And the Colts took notice. However, Frazier appeared on WGR 550’s ‘The John Murphy Show’ to discuss the interview process with Indianapolis and why he ultimately decided to remain in Buffalo, resulting in the Colts hiring former Buffalo quarterback Frank Reich.

“Some situations are better than others. All 32 teams are not the same,” he said. “At this point in my life, in my career, I would have to be careful to say, ‘Yes,’ to this. Versus another situation where you might say, ‘No.’ You need to do your homework now. Maybe in your six or seventh year in the league, you’ll say yes to everything. But every job is not a good job.”

Those words are damning from Frazier, especially considering that the Colts’ agreement with McDaniels fell through just days prior.

On paper, the Bills weren’t supposed to stand a chance but during the regular season, his zone-based defense racked up 18 interceptions and forced 16 fumbles, along with 99 pass breakups.

“I like the job that I have,” said Frazier. “That’s what’s most important. That I do a good job where I am and everything will take care of itself.”

Frazier was able to put together a quality defense with limited resources last season, so it sure will be interesting to see just how he fares once the team can begin adding more quality assets for him to work with.
