"Sean McDermott's tenure as the Buffalo Bills head coach ended Monday, despite his time with the team featuring a historic playoff streak and a complete transformation of the organization's culture. McDermott spent nine years leading the Bills and he had the second-most wins (98-50) of any franchise since 2017. He took Buffalo to the playoffs in eight of those nine seasons, reaching the AFC Championship Game twice, but coming up short of a Super Bowl appearance."
"To take the next step with 2024 MVP quarterback Josh Allen and find a way to the franchise's elusive first Super Bowl title, the Bills will have to find a new coach and that responsibility will fall on general manager Brandon Beane. Bills owner Terry Pegula announced Monday that Beane has been retained and promoted to president of football operations, and he will have an increase in responsibilities, including overseeing the coaching search."
Sean McDermott's nine-year tenure as Buffalo Bills head coach ended Monday after he compiled a 98-50 record since 2017 and led the team to the playoffs in eight of nine seasons. McDermott guided the Bills to two AFC Championship Games but did not reach a Super Bowl. The Bills lost 33-30 in the divisional round to the Denver Broncos two days before his firing. General manager Brandon Beane was retained and promoted to president of football operations and will oversee the coaching search. The organization seeks a new coach to maximize 2024 MVP Josh Allen and pursue the franchise's first Super Bowl title. McDermott's run included seven straight seasons with 10 or more wins, one of only six such streaks in the Super Bowl era.
