Sean McDermott linked to Commanders amid ongoing coaching speculation
Summary

Sean McDermott, recently fired as head coach of the Buffalo Bills, could be a candidate for the Washington Commanders if current head coach Dan Quinn is dismissed. McDermott led the Bills to a 12-5 record last season but faced criticism for playoff shortcomings. Speculation around Quinn's job security arises after a disappointing 5-12 campaign in 2025. Despite the team's successful 2024 season, concerns linger over their defensive performance and overall consistency. An NFL personnel executive suggests McDermott’s name will be prominent in coaching discussions ahead of next offseason.
