>Revis, in fact, still considers the Buffalo Bills’ new defensive coordinator a lead dog. So much so that Revis would love to join Leonhard’s staff right now.

>“I’m not joking at all,” Revis said by phone from Canton, Ohio. “I’ve always loved the game, and I’ve always loved playing with Jim.”

>“I think Jim will be a future head coach,” Revis said. “Tell him if he needs a secondary coach to give me a call. Maybe this is my interview where I tell Jim that if he ever needs help, to keep me at the top of the list.”

>Informed Saturday night about Revis’ offer, Leonhard grinned, unfolded a practice call sheet from his pocket and jotted down Revis’ phone number.

Members of President Donald Trump’s political team asked Ohio Republicans last week not to wage a public pressure campaign against embattled GOP Rep. Max Miller, after they became increasingly convinced he wouldn’t end his reelection bid.

Miller’s determination to remain in the race would render efforts to oust him moot, administration officials reasoned in calls with party leaders and other Republicans in the state over the past week. It would complicate messaging, the officials argued, when those same leaders would likely later have to defend Miller’s candidacy against a Democratic challenger.
“They basically told us to back off,” said one Ohio Republican involved in the conversations, “and let the voters decide.”
Miller faced a 4 p.m. Monday deadline to drop out, and state party leaders would have had to schedule a meeting to discuss his replacement two days prior to that.
At one point, Republicans in the state discussed scheduling the required meeting to replace Miller, in the hopes it would pressure him to drop out of the race, according to two of the people. But Ohio Republicans scuttled that effort as White House officials warned them that Miller would not drop out and Republicans would likely have to defend the seat without a new GOP replacement contender.
