Overview
- Buffalo dismissed Sean McDermott two days after a 33-30 overtime loss at Denver, ending a nine-year run that included a 98-50 regular-season record and eight playoff wins.
- Brandon Beane was elevated to president of football operations while remaining GM and will direct the Bills’ coaching search, viewed as one of the cycle’s most attractive openings.
- The Bills became the 10th team to change head coaches since the end of the 2025 regular season, tying the single-offseason record for turnover.
- Green Bay defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley had a second interview with the Dolphins and is drawing additional interest from the Titans and Raiders, a competition that could shift if Buffalo enters the mix.
- Several teams want to pursue McDermott quickly, according to reporting from The Athletic, but in-person interview schedules with other candidates are slowing movement.
