The 63-year-old Frazier has spent the past six seasons as the Bills’ defensive coordinator, and he was among the first coaches hired by McDermott upon taking over in Buffalo. Frazier was considered McDermott’s most trusted adviser.
Last year, Frazier oversaw a Bills’ defense that overcame a series of injuries to finish ranked sixth in the NFL in fewest yards allowed and second in points allowed. Over his six years in Buffalo, the Bills’ defense finished ranked third or better in fewest yards allowed three times, including first in 2021.
