Oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have told Gambling911.com that they will make former Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills.

Sportsbook.com plans to offer odds on the new Bills head coach shortly. 

For now the franchise have appointed defensive coordinator Perry Fewell as interim head coach.

ESPN broke the story on Wednesday that Buffalo has arranged to meet with Shanahan just one day after firing Dick Jauron. He was the long time head coach of the Broncos and a two-time Super Bowl winner.  Shanahan has already gone on record as saying that he is determined to return to the NFL next season.

But the betting option is made more interesting by the fact that the Bills organization are looking into other potential candidates they deem "high on their list" including Florida Tuskers coach Jim Haslett, Marc Trestman, coach of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, who posted a CFL-best 15-3 regular season record and has his team one win from the Grey Cup final, and New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.

Odds were expected to go up shortly on this event here
