"Sean helped change the mindset of this organization and was instrumental in the Bills becoming a perennial playoff team, Bills owner Terry Pegula said in a statement on Monday. But I feel we are in need of a new structure within our leadership to give this organization the best opportunity to take our team to the next level. As part of the new structure, Pegula announced he is promoting general manager Brandon Beane to president of football operations."
"McDermott compiled a 98-50 record in his nine seasons in Buffalo, transforming a team who had languished at the bottom of the AFC East for long periods. But he owned an 8-8 record in the playoffs, and the team have decided they need a fresh approach. The Bills will hope his successor can push Allen and his teammates over the edge and into a Super Bowl. McDermott is one of a number of high-profile coaches recently to end their tenure after struggling in the playoffs."
Sean McDermott was fired after the Buffalo Bills lost an overtime divisional-round playoff game to the Denver Broncos. McDermott led the Bills to the playoffs in all but one season since 2017 and compiled a 98-50 regular-season record over nine seasons. The Bills became a perennial playoff team but failed to reach the Super Bowl, posting an 8-8 playoff record. The organization promoted general manager Brandon Beane to president of football operations to oversee the coaching search and all football facets. The Bills became the first team to win a playoff game in six straight seasons without securing a Super Bowl and now seek a fresh approach to push Josh Allen and teammates to a championship.
