The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Sean McDermott following their playoff defeat to the Denver Broncos, NFL Network announced on Monday.
McDermott was appointed as head coach in 2017 and led the Bills to the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons in charge while winning five AFC East division titles in the process.
His Bills have been consistently knocking at the Super Bowl door and entered the season having lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs in four of the last five seasons, including two defeats at the AFC Championship Game.
They endured further postseason heartbreak on Saturday as they suffered a 33-30 overtime defeat to the Broncos in the Divisional Round.
McDermott’s departure creates what promises to be the most coveted head coach vacancy, with the opportunity to work with reigning MVP quarterback Josh Allen lying in wait for his successor.
