Despite a 3-2 start to the 2024 NFL season and holding a top position in the AFC East standings, the conversation about Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott potentially being on the “hot seat” may be warranted. This sentiment comes from various insiders who recently shared their thoughts in an ESPN roundtable. Jeremy Fowler mentioned he received multiple texts from individuals involved in the hiring process inquiring about McDermott’s job security. Fellow insider Dan Graziano also noted he had received similar messages when discussing whether it’s time to raise this issue.
“Absolutely, there’s a lot of chatter about that,” Graziano responded. “The Buffalo position is certainly the frontrunner for the ‘job that potential head coach candidates and their agents are hoping will open up.'” However, he noted that the speculation regarding McDermott’s job security typically originates from outside the organization rather than from within.
