Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott directs his team against the Arizona Cardinals during the second quarter at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Nov. 15, 2020. Buffalo Bills Vs Arizona Cardinals
Over the years, the Buffalo Bills have typically gone with veteran head coaches who were looking for their second (or third) head coaching opportunity. However, in 2017 the Bills elected to go with long-time coordinator Sean McDermott, who previously had spent six years as defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers.
That hire has paid great dividends as McDermott led the Buffalo Bills to three playoff appearances in his first four years with the team.
