The Buffalo Bills are set to hire Terrance Jamison as the team’s new defensive line coach, per a report by Adam Schefter. Jamison, a former collegiate defensive lineman with the University of Wisconsin (2005-2007), was most recently the co-defensive coordinator/defensive line coach with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 2023 through 2025.

Jamison brings a deep defensive coaching resume to One Bills Drive, a career that began back in 2008 when he was an assistant defensive line coach as a student assistant for Wisconsin through the Badgers’ 2009 season. In 2010, Jamison transitioned to high school coaching, joining Edgewood High School as a defensive line coach. A year later, Jamison headed back to Wisconsin, being named quality control coach for Wisconsin’s 2011 season, then in 2012 coaching with the Badgers as a graduate assistant.

In 2013, Jamison made his way to coaching at the University of California, accepting a job as defensive quality control coach. From there, Jamison joined Florida Atlantic University as the team’s defensive line coach from 2014 through 2016. Jamison’s next stop was with Texas Tech University as defensive line coach for the 2018 and 2019 college seasons.

Jamison joined the United States Air Force Academy in 2019 as the football team’s defensive line coach, then in 2010 he coached the defensive line for Purdue University. In 2021, Jamison landed with Illinois, where he first was named defensive line coach through the 2022 season, then receiving a promotion to co-defensive coordinator/defensive line coach for the 2023 through 2025 seasons.
