Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is a finalist for the NFL’s Coach of the Year award, reports The Buffalo News beat reporter Vic Carucci. McDermott earned the recognition following a 10-6 season that saw the Bills clinch the AFC’s fifth seed with room to spare, before an overtime defeat against the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round.
McDermott, who’s 25-23 as a head coach in regular season games, has led the Bills to two playoff appearances in three years after the team endured a seventeen year drought. He’s the team’s most successful head coach since Wade Phillips and Marv Levy.
