Bills resolved "talent" vs. "coaching" question in a clear, decisive way
Our Summary
Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula has fired head coach Sean McDermott and promoted General Manager Brandon Beane, addressing a longstanding question of whether coaching or talent was the team's issue. This decision follows consistent failures to reach the Super Bowl despite having a standout quarterback in Josh Allen. Since Allen's acquisition in 2018, the Bills have drafted 56 players, with only James Cook and Dawson Knox earning Pro Bowl honors. Pegula's decision suggests a belief that a new coach, potentially with a focus on offense, could more effectively utilize Allen's prime years. The move comes shortly after the team's recent playoff elimination, with hopes that a new direction could lead to improved postseason outcomes.
