Interesting development in Buffalo

Had to happen at this point.

They gotta do something.

When you've got Superman at QB all this time and you don't get to the SB once, you can expect such a thing to happen.

Bills fire Sean McDermott: Buffalo moves on from longtime coach after another postseason exit

McDermott is paying the price for Buffalo's playoff shortcomings.

See what you've done Josh?

I don't think there is a big enough bench of coaching candidates to really fill all these vacancies. And with the slow movement so far, teams must really be sitting on the divisional playoff teams to get their guys. And now they have to wait at least three weeks to get into either the Seahawks or Rams staff, and that's a long time out.

That would be a great job for Kubiak, honestly.

I heard someone mention Belichick for a replacement with Daboll as OC.

That was Rex Ryan, who nobody takes seriously.

Dang, this must be a record for number of NFL coaches fired after a season.

And his girlfriend handles all the PR?

I’m surprised good old boy Rex didn’t throw his hat in the ring…he does for every other head coaching vacancy lol

A couple of my friends and I were just talking about this possibility yesterday, and how it might explain why McDermitt was so irate about that call in OT, one that was reviewed and IMO correctly called, that resulted in an interception. IMO he saw how Harbaugh was fired and Tomlin resigned, perhaps under pressure, and how with that opportunity to win the game disappearing, it resulted in him facing the firing squad.

 

[SuperSonic67]

He just couldn’t win the big games unfortunately for him…I do think is he’ll probably get another HC job this cycle if he wants it

Oh my. This is so wrong. It was amazing the Bills got this far with the roster that they have. McDermott is one of the top coaches in the league, and I can't imagine that the Bills are going to find someone who will improve the situation in Buffalo.

I looked up McDermott's record in Buffalo. He's 98-50 over 9 seasons (.662). Why would you fire someone like that? And even with Josh Allen as QB, are you going to lure a top coach who has other choices to live in western New York, in friggin' Buffalo?

This is not going to end well for the Bills. Terry Pegula turns out to be just another dumbass billionaire owner.

McDermott is also still young. He's only 51, even though he looks like he's 66.

Let's hope to God that McDermott doesn't end up in Arizona.

And Allen’s post game interview.. my buddy that’s a bills fan was saying the same thing

Can't believe their gm survives that too. He was just as bad.

My instant reaction was Arizona will do everything they can to sign him… Hopefully the prospect coaching Cam Ward or maybe staying in division with the dolphins turns his head

Yeah I couldn’t believe that.. A lot of that is on him… and they actually promoted him to now GM and president of football operations, so dumb

 

[Atradees]

Best fire this season.

I can see Baltimore reaching out to McDermott for their head coaching vacancy. The Ravens pride themselves on a solid defense. While the Bills defense struggled this season, for the most part they were one of the better defenses in the league under McDermott.
