The future of Sean McDermott will end up being one of the more fascinating storylines to watch. McDermott ended up being fired by the Buffalo Bills following their Divisional Round playoff loss to the Denver Broncos.
*Prediction*
With Sean McDermott now available to be hired anywhere, it creates speculation as to where hat could be. There is the notion now that he could take this upcoming 2026 season off from coaching, and look towards the 2027 instead. If this is the case the ideal landing spot for McDermott will end up being the Kansas City Chiefs.

Sean McDermott Will Replace Andy Reid as Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach
The Kansas City Chiefs still have Andy Reid as their head coach for the 2026 season, but that could be changing in the very near future. While Reid is there now, he is 67, and with having come off a season in which they finished with a 6-11 record and didn’t make the playoffs for the first time since 2014, it could be the start of a downward spiral for the Chiefs.
With where Andy Reid is now, he has accomplished a lot in his career, including winning three Super Bowls as the Chiefs’ head coach and as an assistant on the Green Bay Packers in 1997. Reid also has compiled a career record of 273-146-1, further showcasing that he has accomplished a lot in his coaching career.
Andy Reid is close to retiring, and if the Chiefs continue to struggle next season, retirement could be the likely outcome. This would then end up resulting in the Chiefs needing to find a new head coach, and hiring someone like Sean McDermott would be ideal for them.
Sean McDermott brought stability as a head coach to the Bills when he took over, which should give Kansas City confidence that the same winning culture would continue with them. Between McDermott’s great culture he builds, as well as being disciplined to make sure his team stays accountable, he would be the ideal head coach for the Chiefs to target to replace Reid.
