The Bills announced a surprising move on Monday morning as they decided to fire Sean McDermott after his ninth season as head coach. The move came just a few days after Buffalo lost to Denver in the divisional round in a game that could have gone their way if not for a couple of controversial calls in overtime.
How the team announced the move came with a lot of criticism, and rightfully so. The Bills did the usual thing of putting out a lengthy statement from owner Terry Pegula in which he explained the decision while giving McDermott his flowers for the good job that he did during his tenure.
