The truth behind Sean McDermott’s firing revealed.

More information has come to light regarding the Buffalo Bills’ stunning decision to fire beloved head coach Sean McDermott.

On Monday, the Bills fired Sean McDermott after nine seasons at the helm. The move came less than 24 hours after the Bills fell 33-30 to the top-seeded Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round.

In another surprise, the Bills announced that GM Brandon Beane was promoted to president of football operations. Clearly, Beane managed to win a power struggle over the beloved head coach who turned a long-suffering franchise into a juggernaut.

According to new reports, Sean McDermott was openly critical of the roster Beane assembled. That didn’t sit well with the front office or owner Terry Pegula, reports Vic Carucci of WGRZ:

“I’m told that during a meeting held five weeks ago between McDermott, Beane and Pegula, the coach pointed out what the roster lacked to win a Super Bowl. I don’t know the specifics McDermott mentioned, but I’m told neither Beane nor Pegula was pleased with McDermott’s assessment.”

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that the decision to let go of McDermott had been coming for “weeks.” Rapoport added that McDermott “had some questions about how much talent the Bills had.” Ultimately, Buffalo decided it needed a new leader.

McDermott went 98-50-0 over his nine seasons in Buffalo. They made the postseason eight times, including each of the last seven years.

While some fed-up Bills fans will support the change at head coach, it’s evident that Beane’s roster construction has been a bigger issue than McDermott’s coaching.

You won’t find many coaches who can do what McDermott did in Buffalo. Beane didn’t find a suitable replacement for Stefon Diggs. It took him five years to find a capable 1,000-yard rusher (James Cook) to help Josh Allen.

Beane didn’t make a single blockbuster move at the trade deadline. His drafting has been terrible since 2020. And yet, with minimal star power at his side, McDermott kept Buffalo in Super Bowl contention.

We could very well look back on this in five years and call McDermott’s firing one of the worst moves in Bills history.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
