There are few stories in the NFL right now that are hotter than what is happening with Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott. It has been reported that McDermott compared the 9/11 terrorist attacks to teamwork back in 2021 when addressing his team. As messed up as that is to think about, there are people on two different sides of the aisle when it comes to Buffalo’s head coach.
Some believe that the Bills should look to move on from him. He has struggled to get the team prepared to play and his comments have sent that group over the ledge. On the other hand, there are some who believe that he’s still an elite head coach and that Buffalo should keep him around for at least one more season.
No matter where you stand, the comparison of deadly terrorist attacks to football teamwork is absolutely disgusting. That’s probably something that McDermott knows and regrets.
Bills Star Viciously Defends Sean McDermott
With all of the heat coming down on McDermott for his past comments, Bills’ star Micah Hyde did not hold back with his vicious defense of his head coach. He has no interest in tolerating the McDermott hate.
“I think it’s a low blow to question Sean’s character … So for guys to do that, it’s kind of messed up in my eyes. I’m pro Sean McDermott.”
It will be interesting to see what the Bills choose to do about this story going completely viral.
Looking further past the brutally dumb comments from McDermott, there is a case to be made for him to be fired simply by the work he has put in.
Coming into the season, the Bills were expected to be a serious Super Bowl contender. They have a stacked offense, a stacked defense, and one of the most talented quarterbacks in the game in Josh Allen. All of that has only translated to a 6-6 record and Buffalo is in serious danger of missing the playoffs altogether.
Buffalo has already fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. At what point does some of the blame fall on the head coach?
Only time will tell what the future holds for McDermott with the Bills. His seat is on fire, especially with this kind of story breaking amid a bad season. Hyde believes in his head coach, but it will be interesting to see what the front office ends up thinking at the end of the year.

All the media seem to be able to do is call for the firing of coaches, suggest ridiculous trade scenarios, and dig up past mistakes This happened 4 years ago, it’s a non-issue. Yeah, it was a bad analogy. He apogized. Case closed. Time for America to grow up.
