The Buffalo Bills will owe Sean McDermott a pretty penny after firing him in a stunning move on Monday morning.

Less than 48 hours after their heartbreaking loss to the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round, the Bills fired Sean McDermott after a nine-year tenure. That leaves the alarming amount of NFL head coaching vacancies at eight, with the New York Giants (John Harbaugh) and Atlanta Falcons (Kevin Stefanski) already filling theirs.

After McDermott was fired, it was reported that the Bills’ higher-ups decided a new voice was needed following a loss they believed was winnable in Denver. But shed no tears for McDermott, because the Bills still owe him plenty of dough.

As noted by the ML Football X/Twitter account, Sean McDermott will make $1,369 an hour for the next two years, even though he’s no longer coaching the Bills. McDermott will get $32,854 per day and $1 million a month.

McDermott’s deal ran through the 2027 season, with a reported salary of around $8 million. He’ll surely be sought after by other NFL teams with a head coaching vacancy, too. In other words, no need to feel sorry for his bank account.

Firing Sean McDermott Is A Bizarre Decision By Buffalo

It’s hard to understand the Bills’ decision to fire Sean McDermott in almost every respect. Sure, they haven’t won a Super Bowl despite tremendous regular-season success. But, how long did Bill Cowher have to wait again to win his first Super Bowl?

Imagine if the Kansas City Chiefs fired Andy Reid before beginning their own dynastic run? McDermott turned a perennial loser into a juggernaut, and he did it despite some horrible roster moves by GM Brandon Beane.

McDermott made the most out of a roster that Beane put together. He did not waste all of the Bills’ first-round picks from 2020 onward. He didn’t fail to put together a decent receiving core after Stefon Diggs.

Good luck to Buffalo in finding a better option.
