Dear Coach McDermott,
Thank you.
Thank you for taking over a franchise that was broken long before you arrived — and refusing to let it stay that way. Thank you for walking into Buffalo when hope felt fragile, when the playoff drought felt permanent, and when being a Bills fan meant bracing for disappointment.
You didn’t just win games. You restored pride.
You broke the drought before Josh Allen ever became Josh Allen. You taught this team how to work, how to believe, how to carry itself. You built a culture that mattered — one rooted in accountability, humility, and toughness. For the first time in a long time, the Buffalo Bills felt stable. They felt respected. They felt like a real organization again.
You were a leader of men. Players trusted you. Fans trusted you. Families trusted you with something that mattered deeply to them. You felt like more than a coach — you felt like family. Like the uncle who shows up every year, does things the right way, and gives everything he has even when it’s not easy.
We know football is a results business. We know the standard changes when you find a quarterback like Josh Allen. But that doesn’t erase what you gave, or how hard this is to accept. It doesn’t erase the 98 wins, the playoff nights, the belief, or the sense that for once… the Bills were safe in good hands.
This ending hurts because it mattered.
Because you mattered.
No matter what comes next — for you or for this team — know this: Buffalo won’t forget what you did here. You helped heal something. You gave us years we’ll never take for granted.
Thank you for the stability.
Thank you for the dignity.
Thank you for the culture.
Once a Bill, always a Bill.
With gratitude and respect,

If the Bills were planning on having Brandon Beane introduced at the inaugural game of the new Highmark Stadium, they may want to rethink that.
The man's gonna get booed.
Loudly.
No comment from Brandon Beane after the Sean McDermott firing is egregious
McDermott basically handpicked Beane as his GM and not only did Beane likely stab him in the back to save his job, absolutely zero appreciation on his way out the door
Ungrateful
So Brandon Beane sold out his friend/co-worker of 15 years, got himself a promotion (presumably with a raise), and assumed zero responsibility for the Bills playoff woes.
Absolute coward.
Brandon Beane is looking like a snake.
Reminder. Coaches coach teams. GM's build teams.
Put the team in cap hell ✅
Failed to consistently add diff makes on offense/defense ✅
WGR blow up ✅
If McDermott is gone, so should he. But he stays AND is promoted w/ FULL control?
From all of #BillsMafia
THANK YOU COACH!
Thank you for 9+ years of wonderful memories. You are an amazing person and changed the culture of this organization.
You will be missed!

Nothing has united Twitter more than the firing of Sean McDermott, and keeping Brandon Beane. I’m proud of this fanbase for standing up for Sean McDermott.
There is the one guy in here taking a victory lap but he’s an idiot. No one really likes him anyways.

Sean McDermott didn’t blow it with his draft picks. Sean McDermott didn’t mismanage the cap so badly Josh Allen may never get real help. Sean McDermott didn’t act like a child when someone dared question him.
Brandon Beane is the real problem.
🚨 BREAKING: The Buffalo Bills just had a BEAUTIFUL tribute for Charlie Kirk before the game against the Dolphins. They even played a 20-30 second video showing Charlie with his family. I love that this keeps happening ❤️🇺🇸
