Orchard Park, NY (My Sportsbook) - The Buffalo Bills announced Tuesday that the contracts linebackers coach Miles Aldridge and offensive linemen coach Ronnie Vinklarek will not be renewed.

"We just feel that we want to head into another direction at this time," said head coach Gregg Williams. "We thank both men for their hard work and wish them the best."

Aldridge and Vinklarek both joined Buffalo's staff prior to the 2001 season. Aldridge spent his previous 27 years of coaching on the collegiate level, while Vinklarek was brought over from the Tennessee Titans, where he served as defensive assistant/quality control coach.

With the previous departure of quarterbacks coach Steve Kragthorpe and the retirement of defensive line coach John Levra, Williams will need to replace four coaches before the start of next season.
