Bills fire Sean McDermott after 9 seasons of falling short of reaching Super Bowl, AP sources say
The Buffalo Bills fired Sean McDermott on Monday, two people with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press. The move came two days after the Bills were eliminated in a heart-wrenching 33-30 overtime loss at Denver in the divisional round of the playoffs. McDermott’s tenure ends after nine seasons in which he transformed the franchise into a perennial winner but knocked for failing to make a Super Bowl appearance.
