– Who’s in the mix: Buffalo has interviews lined up with Anthony Lynn (Commanders RBs coach) and has requested a chat with Brian Daboll. Joe Brady, the Bills’ current OC, is also set for a head coach interview. Other targeted names include Lou Anarumo, Grant Udinski, and Anthony Weaver. 🧭
– Josh Allen’s role: The star QB is expected to actively participate in the coaching interviews and help shape the process, though Bills owner Terry Pegula noted Allen wasn’t informed about the firing beforehand. This signals a hands-on era for the Bills’ QB. 🗣️
– Why this matters: McDermott went 98 wins, reached the playoffs eight times, earned five double-digit-win seasons, and had two AFC Championship appearances. Buffalo is chasing a path to a Super Bowl with a fresh voice. 🏆
– Front-runners and others in the mix: Brady and Daboll are seen as frontrunners, with other buzzed-about names linking to Buffalo including Mike Tomlin, Mike McDaniel, Klint Kubiak, Nate Scheelhaase, and Ejiro Evero. 🔥
– The rising dark horse: Davis Webb, Denver’s pass-game coordinator and QB coach, is gaining traction as a hot, young candidate. Webb helped Bo Nix explode for 3,931 yards, 25 TDs, and 11 INTs, and he has a prior Bills connection with Allen. If hired, he’d likely pair with a veteran OC for balance. 📊
– Takeaway: The Bills are casting a wide net and weighing a mix of veteran leadership and exciting young talent. With Allen potentially shaping the interviews and a big talent pool to choose from, the path to a championship-filled future feels wide open. 🏈🔥👀
