The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott on Monday morning following a divisional round loss to the Denver Broncos over the weekend. McDermott's dismissal came as a shock as the team was a perennial contender under his guidance, having had eight winning seasons during his nine year tenure. They also won five AFC East titles and played in two AFC championship games.
While the organization believed that McDermott did an admiral... er, admirable job, they decided it was time to move on. In concert with that decision the team decided not only to retain general manager Brandon Beane, but promote him and add President of Football Operations to his title.
