The Buffalo Bills<\/a>\u2019 decision to fire head coach Sean McDermott after an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos in the playoffs drew rebuke from a Super Bowl champion.<\/p>\n

Bruce Arians, who guided the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> to a Super Bowl title during the 2020 season, ripped the Bills\u2019 organization for the move on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“This one baffles me,” Arians said on “The Pat McAfee Show.”<\/a> “How Brandon Beane got elevated and Sean McDermott got fired, that just blows my mind, because they didn’t have any damn players.<\/p>\n

“The guy is one of the best coaches in the league and a great leader of men. He\u2019s taken that team as close as you could get \u2013 couldn\u2019t beat (Patrick) Mahomes. He didn\u2019t throw any damn interceptions and the referees screwed him bad and he gets fired. I mean, come on man. And Brandon Beane gets a f—ing raise? I don\u2019t get that one. That one blows my mind.”<\/p>\n

The Bills failed to get back to the AFC Championship Game after losing to the Broncos in overtime, following a\u00a0controversial interception call<\/a>. The defeat marked another crushing blow to McDermott\u2019s tenure as the Bills\u2019 head coach.<\/p>\n

McDermott took the job before the start of the 2017 season. Buffalo only finished under .500 once since then. He helped guide the Bills to the playoffs in eight of the nine seasons. The team made the conference title game twice but never got back to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

NFL fans had confidence that the Bills could have been Super Bowl contenders going into the 2025 season. The Bills\u2019 odds got better when their nemesis, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, was lost for the season with a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Buffalo fell short of winning the AFC East \u2013 falling to the New England Patriots. They made the playoffs via the wild card and defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars by three points. But the loss to the Broncos<\/a> ultimately doomed McDermott\u2019s tenure as head coach.<\/p>\n

McDermott was 98-50 as the Bills\u2019 head coach. He was 8-8 in the playoffs and only missed out on the postseason once.<\/p>\n
