The Buffalo Bills<\/a> are now on the head coaching hunt after firing Sean McDermott.<\/p>\n

With owner Terry Pegula stating in a press conference with Brandon Beane that Josh Allen had no input into the decision to let McDermott go, that alone raised questions.<\/p>\n

Surely you consult your MVP quarterback that you are going to move on from his head coach, right?<\/p>\n

Well, apparently not.<\/p>\n

But ESPN’s Peter Schrager says that Allen will be a key player in Buffalo’s head coach search.<\/p>\n

“Josh Allen is going to play a major role in not only consulting, but selecting the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills,” Schrager said on NFL Live<\/a>. “That could lead to a Pandora’s box, or it could be, this is the face of our franchise, and the window is only yay big, we want him to have input.”<\/p>\n

Bills must of offensive in coach hire<\/p>\n

You could make the case that Joe Brady, Buffalo’s current OC, is the right candidate for the Bills.<\/p>\n

He has already worked with Allen, made him an MVP, plus the offense is one of the best in football.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those are big ticks.<\/p>\n

Everyone in the organization knows him, and the Bills’ next head coach surely has to be one who can get the most out of Allen, right? That could be Brady.<\/p>\n

Of course, Brian Daboll is another candidate who has interviewed for the job, and he has a good relationship with Allen, too.<\/p>\n

Either way, the Bills simply have to hire a head coach with Allen in mind.<\/p>\n

And they will. Why? Because Allen will be doing the picking.<\/p>\n
