Sean McDermott identified as “hot-seat candidate” ahead of…….

Sean McDermott has been the most successful head coach in recent decades for the Buffalo Bills. Since taking over in 2017, he has transformed the team and established a distinct culture that has made the Bills highly competitive in the league. McDermott is the second-winningest coach in franchise history, securing four consecutive AFC East titles and reaching the playoffs six times in seven seasons.

Alongside general manager Brandon Beane and quarterback Josh Allen, McDermott has been pivotal in Buffalo’s resurgence. However, despite these achievements, there is growing sentiment that a change may be necessary. Critics argue that McDermott has struggled to navigate critical moments effectively, limiting the team’s postseason success. Despite reaching the AFC Championship game once, the Bills have not made it to the Super Bowl.

This perceived plateau has fueled discussions about replacing McDermott with a new coach who could provide fresh perspectives and strategies. CBS Sports writer Cody Benjamin recently labeled McDermott as a “hot-seat candidate,” reflecting widespread concerns among pundits and fans alike about the team’s ability to capitalize on its potential under his leadership.
