Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott was ranked as the sixth-best head coach in the NFL. That rating comes to us via CBS Sports.
Just like his positioning, McDermott enters the sixth year of his coaching career in Buffalo. In that time, he’s helped usher in a big change for the organization.
Once a doormat of the NFL–things are different now.
The bar is set even higher. The Bills have Super Bowl aspirations. Achieving that is likely the only thing missing from McDermott’s resume which would allow him to move into the top-five of CBS Sports’ ratings as every bench boss ahead of him has won a title.
First, here’s the analysis given on McDermott:
If anyone has the makings of the next Andy Reid, just in terms of steady-handedness year in and year out, it might be McDermott, one of his top disciples. More than just overseeing Josh Allen’s growing stardom at QB, and Buffalo’s aggressive offensive approach, he’s kept his signature unit, the Bills defense, hungry in key games. Crazy things happen, but it feels like a matter of when, not if, McDermott will be contending for a Lombardi Trophy thanks to the well-rounded roster he shepherds.
Now begs the next question: Who is ahead of the Bills coach?
Here’s the top-five NFL coaches, according to CBS Sports:
5. John Harbaugh (Ravens)
4. Mike Tomlin (Steelers)
3. Bill Belichick (Patriots)
2. Sean McVay (Rams)
1. Andy Reid (Chiefs)
