Bills Launch Coach Search After Pegula Explains Firing

Beane is prioritizing alignment with Josh Allen in a search that has already included Joe Brady.

Overview

  • Owner Terry Pegula said the divisional loss in Denver and a devastated locker room convinced him to dismiss Sean McDermott, while reaffirming confidence in Brandon Beane, who now holds the added title of president of football operations.
  • Buffalo completed an interview with offensive coordinator Joe Brady on Wednesday as the first formal step in filling the vacancy.
  • The Bills have lined up or requested talks with multiple candidates, including Brian Daboll, Anthony Lynn, Grant Udinski and Anthony Weaver, with Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo scheduled to meet Thursday.
  • League and team sources indicate the search will center on continuity for MVP quarterback Josh Allen, with offensive philosophy and fit weighing heavily in evaluations.
  • Pegula and Beane’s media session drew sharp criticism from outlets and commentators, including over Pegula’s remarks on the Keon Coleman draft decision and his rationale for the coaching change.
