After a tumultuous season with the Buffalo Bills, Sean McDermott has finally broken his silence with a personal statement following his firing as head coach of the team. In his heartfelt message, McDermott reflected on his time with the Bills and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to lead the team.
“I want to start by thanking the Buffalo Bills organization, the Pegula family, and the amazing fans for giving me the chance to be the head coach of this team,” McDermott began. “It has been an honor and a privilege to represent this city and this franchise.”
McDermott’s statement comes just days after the Bills announced his departure following a disappointing 6-10 season. Despite high expectations and a playoff appearance in his first year as head coach, the team struggled to find consistency and ultimately fell short of their goals.

Indeed, the Bills showed great determination throughout the season, including a memorable win against the Minnesota Vikings and a thrilling victory over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. McDermott’s leadership and unwavering belief in his players played a significant role in these moments of triumph.
But as with any professional sports team, success is measured by wins and losses. And unfortunately, the Bills fell short in that regard this season. However, McDermott remains grateful for the support he received from the organization and the fans, who stood by the team through both the highs and the lows.
“I want to thank the front office, the coaching staff, and the players for their hard work and dedication. And most importantly, I want to thank the fans. Your passion and enthusiasm for this team is unmatched and it has been an honor to be a part of it,” McDermott expressed.
As he looks towards the future, McDermott remains optimistic and confident in the Bills’ potential. He believes that with the right leadership and a continued commitment to improvement, the team will be able to achieve great success in the years to come.
“I have no doubt that this team has a bright future ahead. I am proud to have been a part of laying the foundation for that future and I will always be a Bills fan,” he concluded.
In conclusion, Sean McDermott’s personal statement following his firing as head coach of the Buffalo Bills serves as a reminder of the impact he had on the team and the city. His positive attitude and unwavering dedication will always be remembered and appreciated by the Bills organization and their loyal fans. As the team moves forward, they will undoubtedly carry with them the lessons and values instilled by McDermott during his time as head coach.
