I wasn't certain if he was still working on ESPN or NFL Network or something. So he is nowhere right now?

I think he might be on Sirius but I'm not certain because I don't have Sirius.

So as far as I know, nothing.

He's on Sirius with Solomon Wilcotts (The Red Zone) from 1pm to 3pm. He's adamant about never coaching again. Reading between the lines based on comments made on Sirius he was probably offerred the Billls job but turned it down. Seems to me that would have been the perfect scenario for him so he's probably being genuine when he's says he's through with coaching.

Report: Ralph Wilson nixed potential return of Martyball

Bills owner Ralph Wilson's affinity of football men of a certain age has its limits.

Tim Graham of ESPN reports that Marty Schottenheimer "badly" wanted the Bills coaching job, but Wilson was never on board.

Schottenheimer worked previously with G.M. Buddy Nix, and publicly soft-pedaled his interest in the gig. But his experience with Nix didn't matter because Wilson "wasn't comfortable" with Schottenheimer.

The news helps to explain why Marty's son Brian turned down a chance to interview. But it's unlikely to calm the anger of Bills fans or change the perception that Chan Gailey was a fallback choice.

Bills fans would probably prefer a coach with Schottenheimer's track record if the team was looking for someone with head coaching experience.

Very interesting. Seems like that would have been a match made in heaven. Buffalo is the perfect blue collar martyball town. That fanbase would have welcomed him with open arms.
