The Buffalo Bills wasted no time after the painful playoff loss against Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round. The teamâs owner, Terry Pegula, confirmed that this was the reason he fired head coach Sean McDermott.
Now, in the search for McDermottâs replacement, the Bills have announced that they interviewed Brian Daboll, a man with plenty of experience. He won the Super Bowl five times with the Patriots as an assistant and also served as Buffaloâs offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021. Daboll won the Coach of the Year award in 2022 due to his remarkable job with the Giants.
This was the official statement. âFormer Giants head coach and Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll interviewed for Buffaloâs head coaching vacancy on Thursday. Daboll most recently served as the Giants head coach from 2022-25. Prior to that, Daboll was Buffaloâs offensive coordinator from 2018-21. During his time with the Bills, they went 40-25 and averaged 24.1 points per game and 352.3 total yards per game.â
