Sometimes the world is funny.
For the last week or so, the question of whether or not the current Buffalo Bills regime was on the “hot seat” has percolated through the national consciousness, sparked in part by the organizations’ mishandling of the excused absence of star wide receiver Stefon Diggs on the first day of mandatory minicamp. And then both head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane got contract extensions from the Bills that run through 2027.
Sean McDermott was never on the hot seat. Neither was Brandon Beane.
Media or fan dissatisfaction with individual incidents like the Diggs situation or the failure of the team to win a Super Bowl since Josh Allen became an elite quarterback in 2020 don’t make a seat hot.
