Real Football: Sean McDermott is out, Brandon Beane is promoted... now what?

What a perfect time for "Real Football" with Jim Monos, the man who helped find McDermott as this team's HC in 2017. We examine the news of the week.

Crushing playoff losses have consequences in the NFL.

Especially when those losses stack up to this extreme.

On Tuesday AM, we published this piece on why the Buffalo Bills finally moved on from Sean McDermott after nine seasons. Thank you to everyone who has subscribed and looked back at our three-parter (now unlocked) from December 2023.

What a perfect time to record an episode of “Real Football” with co-host Jim Monos. For those who don’t know, Monos served as the Bills’ director of personnel from May 2013 through 2017 after scouting for the Eagles and Saints. He and Doug Whaley led the search to hire McDermott once upon a time. On this episode — exclusive to our paid subscribers — Monos offers sharp perspective on everything.

He brings his experience from living a week like this himself and I share some more reporting from sources around the former Bills head coach.

We examine all angles of this decision and drive it forward. Urgency is high. Josh Allen isn’t getting any younger, the New England Patriots are back, it was high time for a change at One Bills Drive.
