\t\t\tBills Fire Head Coach Sean McDermott
\nJanuary 19th, 2026 <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fired.<\/p>\n

Now this is intriguing.<\/p>\n

Joe\u2019s phone has been blowing up with Bucs fans barking about the Bills just firing their head coach after a 12-5 season and seven consecutive years of double-digit wins. It seems these fans think McDermott being canned should somehow affect Todd Bowles\u2019 status as Tampa Bay head coach.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

McDermott getting launched from Buffalo represents the 10th head coach opening in the NFL this offseason. That total has to be a league record.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time in January of 2016, the Buccaneers interviewed McDermott for their head coach opening. They instead went with Dirk Koetter.<\/p>\n

Apparently, Buffalo brass had enough of McDermott failing in the postseason, where he has an 8-8 career record. One could argue the Bills got robbed this weekend by a horrendous NFL catch\/non-catch rule, but the end result was another winning head coach having his keycard deactivated.<\/p>\n

Joe hopes Bowles looks closely at McDermott\u2019s staff for defensive assistant openings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bills Fire Head Coach Sean McDermott January 19th, 2026 Fired.
