The Buffalo Bills have made the decision to part ways with head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons, according to sources familiar with the situation. This announcement comes just two days after the Bills suffered a heartbreaking 33-30 overtime defeat to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Two individuals who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity revealed that the team had not yet publicly confirmed the move. McDermott”s departure marks the end of an era during which he transformed the franchise into a consistent contender in the NFL. However, his tenure was marred by the inability to lead the team to a Super Bowl appearance.
Under McDermott”s leadership, the Bills achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first team in NFL history to win a playoff game for seven consecutive seasons without reaching the Super Bowl. This statistic highlights the team”s success during the regular season and playoffs, yet it ultimately underscores the disappointment of their postseason failures.
As the Bills look forward, the organization will need to find a new leader who can build upon the foundation McDermott established while also striving for the ultimate goal of a Super Bowl championship.
