LSU coach Les Miles is reportedly pursuing Buffalo Bills wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert

for a similar job on the Tigers staff according to FootballCoachScoop.com.

The Web site reported that the two parties met Sunday. Tolbert was not available for

comment Monday.

According to The Baton Rouge Advocate, current LSU receivers coach D.J. McCarthy is at the

center of possible NCAA rules violations the Tigers are investigating. The probe also involves

an unnamed player on LSU's team that didn't play this season. LSU already has one opening on

its staff with assistant head coach/running backs coach Larry Porter taking the job at

Memphis.

The majority of Tolbert's coaching career has been spent in the South. A native of Conroe,

Texas, Tolbert played wide receiver at LSU before coaching stints at Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn,

Louisiana-Lafayette and Florida. He was the receivers coach with the Arizona Cardinals in 2003

before joining the Bills' staff the following season.

Cornerback Terrence McGee said he is improving but still lists his status as day-to-day for

Sunday's game at Kansas City. Arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee

forced him to miss three games but he played sparingly in last Thursday's game against the

Jets. He didn't start as Reggie Corner began the game.

"I'm getting closer, but it's still a day-to-day type of thing," McGee said. "Whether I

start or whether I do what I did last week is still up in the air but I feel like I'm getting

better."

McGee said he will likely play with some pain for the remainder of the season.

"It's one of those things that's going to take a while to fully go away," he said.

Heading into Sunday's game, the Bills rank last in rush defense with an average of 171.1

yards per game. They have allowed 2,065 yards on the ground and opponents are averaging nearly

5 yards a carry (4.9) which is something that frustrates defensive tackle Kyle Williams.

"It's the same thing," he said. "A lot of it is misdirection on the counter plays, the

cutback runs and a lot of the time we're over-pursuing. It's got to get corrected. When

someone misses their gap and overruns it and doesn't make a play it exposes us."

Williams said opponents are game-planning more counter and cut-back runs because the Bills

are having difficulty stopping them.

"It's hard to defend when you have guys pressing," he said. "Guys are just trying to get

guys on the ground they're pressing to make a play because they are fed up with it and trying

to do too much and that's when you get caught and get crazy."

The Bills are 4-8, in last place in the AFC East and the playoffs are out of the question.

But with four games remaining, wide receiver Lee Evans said the team has to play for each

other.

"We're trying to get some momentum and end this season on a good note," he said. "I think

that's how you have to approach it and stay professional and work everyday."

Like Williams, it's frustrating for Evans that the Bills keep losing the same way week in

and week out. Offensively, the Bills are converting only 26 percent on third down. Only the

Chiefs are worst (24 percent).

"Like I said a number of times before, we haven't played up to the potential that we have

offensively," Evans said. "A lot of things have contributed to that but we know we haven't

played as well as we can."

The Bills added tight end Joe Klopfenstein to the 53-man roster on Monday. Terms were not

disclosed.

Klopfenstein rejoins the Bills after being released Nov. 28. Klopfenstein appeared in all

16 games, making 10 starts in 2008 with St. Louis. In his three-year career, he has played in

48 games making 37 starts and caught 33 passes for 386 yards and two touchdowns.

The 6-foot-5, 262-pound Colorado product originally entered the NFL as a second-round (46th

overall) draft choice of the Rams in 2006. To make room for Klopfenstein, the Bills released

defensive tackle Corey Mace.
