Bills coach Sean McDermott apologizes for referencing 9/11 hijackers in team meeting

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is facing criticism for remarks made about the September 11 hijackers in a team meeting in 2021. According to a story by Ty Dunne titled “The McDermott Problem,” he used the terrorists as an example for effective tactics and organization.

The passage in questions reads as follows:

At St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, N.Y., McDermott’s morning address began innocently enough. He told the entire team they needed to come together. But then, sources on-hand say, he used a strange model: the terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001.
