My Take
Sean McDermott is the kind of coach I quietly admire: an Omaha-bred grinder who built his career on defense rather than flash. Climbing from a 2001 Eagles assistant to coordinator roles in Philadelphia and Carolina, then leading the Buffalo Bills from 2017 to early 2026, shows a rare durability in a brutal profession. What I respect most is the consistency he brought to a cold-weather franchise that demanded patience and identity. Long tenures usually mean a locker room that buys in, and that earns my trust more than any single highlight reel. He strikes me as a steady, principled operator who values culture over spectacle.
