The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott.

Who the Bills fired

  • The team dismissed head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons in charge of the Bills.
  • His firing came right after Buffalo’s latest playoff exit, an overtime loss in the divisional round to the Denver Broncos.

Why this is big news

  • McDermott turned the Bills into a regular contender, reaching the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons and posting strong regular‑season records.
  • Despite that success, the organization moved on after repeatedly falling short of a Super Bowl appearance, signaling a major reset for the franchise.

What’s next for Buffalo

  • General manager Brandon Beane is being retained and will lead the search for the next head coach, giving the front office continuity while the sideline leadership changes.
  • With a new stadium on the way and a roster built to win now, the next hire will be under heavy pressure to finally break through to a Super Bowl.
