The Buffalo Bills' coaching search is staying in Arizona for at least one more day with the team set to interview Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton.

Horton told reporters in Arizona on Wednesday that he will meet with Bills officials later in the day. Horton is a Cardinals' head-coaching candidate to replace Ken Whisenhunt, who was fired Monday.

Whisenhunt, meanwhile, is also a candidate for the Bills job to replace Chan Gailey, who was fired Monday, as well. The Bills website reported team officials interviewed Whisenhunt shortly after arriving in Arizona Tuesday.

A person familiar with Mike McCoy's schedule said the Broncos offensive coordinator is set to interview with the Bills in Denver this weekend. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not revealed their list of candidates.
