The Buffalo Bills have faced yet another setback in their quest for an AFC Championship under the leadership of Sean McDermott. With their latest loss, it’s time for the Bills to consider whether a shake-up in the coaching staff might be the catalyst they need to finally get over the proverbial hump.
Sean McDermott has certainly built a solid foundation in Buffalo, boasting an impressive 86-45 record in the regular season and guiding the team to six consecutive seasons with over 10 wins. His tenure includes a surprise run to the AFC Championship, but when it comes to playoff success, his 7-7 record suggests there’s room for improvement. The Bills must evaluate whether McDermott can be the coach to transform their consistency into championship glory.
Enter Mike McCarthy as a potential candidate for the Bills’ head coaching position. McCarthy’s track record during the regular season is undeniably strong, and for Bills fans, his arrival wouldn’t feel like a step backward. Many Cowboys players have publicly lauded McCarthy, evidencing a sense of respect and loyalty towards him. Some argue that McCarthy’s struggles in Dallas were less about his coaching abilities and more about external factors, such as Jerry Jones’ influence and questions surrounding Dak Prescott’s status as a “Superstar.”
This potential coaching change gains even more relevance if Joe Brady considers pursuing the head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints. Should this occur, the Bills would need to move quickly to secure a coach with the capability of building on the foundation McDermott has laid down.
Additionally, there’s an undeniable need for the front office to bolster the talent surrounding star quarterback Josh Allen. Naming Mack Hollins as the second wide receiver simply isn’t enough if the team’s ambitions are to clinch a Super Bowl. This offseason holds the promise of retooling and refining the roster to better support Allen and enhance their championship aspirations.
