Buffalo Bills Dismiss Head Coach Sean McDermott Following Broncos Playoff Loss
The Buffalo Bills have made a significant change in their coaching staff. Following a disappointing playoff defeat to the Denver Broncos, the team has announced the dismissal of head coach Sean McDermott. This decision was confirmed by NFL Network on a Monday.
Sean McDermott’s Coaching Tenure
Sean McDermott took the helm as head coach in 2017. During his nine seasons with the organization, he successfully guided the Bills to the playoffs in eight of those years. Under his leadership, the team claimed five AFC East division titles.
Despite a strong track record, McDermott faced challenges in achieving postseason success. The Bills entered the recent playoff season following four defeats to the Kansas City Chiefs over the past five years, including two in the AFC Championship Game. This pattern of heartbreak continued with their latest loss.
Playoff Loss to the Broncos
This past Saturday, Buffalo faced a setback in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. They lost to the Denver Broncos with a score of 33-30 in an overtime thriller. This loss proved to be the final straw for McDermott’s tenure as head coach.
A New Head Coach for the Bills
With McDermott’s exit, the Bills will be looking for a new head coach to lead the team. This position is expected to attract considerable interest, especially given the opportunity to work with talented quarterback Josh Allen, who is the reigning MVP.
