Josh Allen's Reaction After Bills Fire Sean McDermott

Someone had to take the fall after another failed season for Allen and the Bills. Buffalo has made the playoffs eight times in the last nine years. However, they never reached the Super Bowl.

McDermott has been in charge for all those nine years. The Bills front office decided that it was time to move on. They announced the firing of McDermott on Monday, less than 48 hours after their season-ending loss to the Broncos.

Allen has not publicly commented on McDermott’s dismissal. However, a new report from Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News revealed Allen’s reaction to the news.

“A source close to Josh Allen tells me he’s appreciative of his 8 years with Sean McDermott. Allen, I’m told, has faith in the leadership of the team under Terry Pegula and Brandon Beane, and will take an active role in participating in the upcoming head coaching interviews,” Skurski reported on X.

McDermott was already in charge when the Bills selected Allen as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The four-time Pro Bowl QB has not had any other head coach in his NFL career besides McDermott.

As the report indicates, however, Allen’s faith in Buffalo’s front office remains steadfast. On Wednesday, the Bills announced they had completed an interview with offensive coordinator Joe Brady for the role of head coach. Brady is the first of what is expected to be multiple candidates as McDermott's successor.
