"This morning, NFL fans saw yet another domino fall in what was already one of the craziest head coaching carousels of all time: two days after losing to the Denver Broncos, the Buffalo Bills fired their longtime coach, Sean McDermott. In nine seasons, the former Panthers DC was a dominant regular-season coach who failed to win when it mattered in the postseason."
"The 50-year-old coaching veteran grew up in a Buffalo suburb and landed the Bills OC job in 2018 after a stint with the Alabama Crimson Tide. His tenure was an immediate success, and he was the one who molded Allen straight out of college. After the 2021 season, his efforts with Allen were recognized, and he was hired by the Giants as head coach."
The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons, two days following a loss to the Denver Broncos. McDermott produced dominant regular-season results but failed to advance in the postseason. The NFL trend shows teams parting with winning regular-season coaches who cannot win in January, with the Ravens and Steelers cited as examples. With Josh Allen as the reigning MVP and a consistent playoff-caliber roster, the Bills require a new leader. Brian Daboll, McDermott's former offensive coordinator and ex-Giants head coach, is the leading favorite given his prior work with Allen. Internal offensive coordinator Joe Brady, promoted from quarterbacks coach, stands as the in-house alternative.
