What led to the Buffalo Bills firing Sean McDermott?
So more NFL news when it comes to head coaches. The Bills have fired Sean McDermott. That job is now open. This is a flex for Peter Schwartz here today because you said it. You said, well, what about Sean McDermott? Yeah. And I didn't think it was going to happen. Boomer thought it was unlikely. Well, it happened.
Guys, 98-50 with the Bills and has gotten them deep into the playoffs. I don't know why this would happen, but I know that. Next year, he'll be at the top of the list, I would think, of potential head coaching candidates for teams. Why not this year if he wants to coach? Deep into the playoffs, I don't know if he knew that he was going to get fired unless he won. Again, I don't know his contract status also. The interesting thing about Mike Tomlin's contract with the Steelers, essentially, he was kind of walking into a lame duck season. So he had one year left in his contract, and then the second year was a team option year. So essentially, it's a lame duck season for him. And I don't know if he and his agent were talking to the Steelers behind the scenes about a contract extension.
And maybe they weren't, and he just said, you know, I hear all the noise about what's going on about my losing in the playoffs and not getting back to the Super Bowl, so I'm going to step down.
Yeah, well, yeah, and that's different because Joe McDermott's fired, and he's immediately available to anybody who wants to hire him.
Who are the potential candidates for the Bills' head coaching position?
So he's just another – I mean, this is insane. You're not going to have another – off-season of coaches fired like this than ever again because you had two that were 18 and 19 years, one stepped down, one fired, and now you have another guy who has his team in the divisional round and ends up getting fired. This is nuts.
I would think he probably takes a year off, maybe just relaxes.
So who's looking at Brian Dable right now? I mean, could the Bills try to reunite that?
Maybe. I mean, I'm sure if I'm Brian Dable and Brian Dable's agent, they're calling. But I'm not sure. I don't know. I'm not sure how his tenure here is looked at by the people in charge in Buffalo. But Brian Dable's going to get an offensive coordinator job, that's for sure, at the very least. So, yeah, I mean, all these jobs that are now open...
Is that funny, though? You wouldn't think Buffalo would be an attractive job offer, and it certainly has to be now because you've got the quarterback, you've got a team that goes to the playoffs.
You've got a brand-new stadium, and you have one of the best players in the league. Yeah. And you've got a team that is ready to continue to win. The best fit for that job? It's interesting. Do they feel like they need an offensive guy?
You know, it's interesting.
What are the implications of McDermott's firing for the Bills' future?
It looks like Sean McDermott would have two years left on his contract. Because in June of 2023, the Bills announced a two-year contract extension for McDermott along with Brandon Bean running through the 2027 season. So they had a contract up to 25, and then they added two more years onto that. So, you know, he could sit back and he doesn't have to do anything and still get paid two years worth of salary. There's so many jobs open right now, though.
I mean, think about it. There are still, if you take the bills out of it, there's still seven jobs open. Yep. He may want to jump on one of these. Maybe there's a team that he really likes. Maybe there's an owner he really likes. I don't think it's crazy to think that he would jump back into it. But, yeah, he's fine either way, though. That's for sure.
I think they've got to get a defensive coach. I mean, they keep giving up 30 points. But he was a defensive coach. I understand that, but they weren't playing very well defensively. So they might want another defensive coach to try and tighten things up.
And then have that defensive coach keep the offensive. I mean, I don't know.
I mean, Kevin Stefanski kept the defensive coordinator in Atlanta. So, I mean, it's not out of the realm of possibilities that a new head coach could end up keeping Joe Brady there if Josh Allen likes him.
