Buffalo Bills players have taken to social media and contacting their media member of choice to share their thoughts on the unexpected firing of head coach Sean McDermott. We likely won’t see anyone calling out the organization explicitly, but McDermott seemed to be well-liked by his players, so there will some pushback at least in the early stages.
We will keep adding reactions as they come in and wait for the biggest one of all in terms of Josh Allen.
Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins
Dawkins was emotional in the locker room on Saturday and his message to McDermott featured images of the coach kissing him on the top of his head, running out on the field, and celebrating in the locker room a few years ago.
“True leader amongst a world full of alphas’s , Honored and Truly Best to learn under our Time. McDeezzyyyy You Are Truly One Of them Ones. Until The Grass Meets us Again” wrote Dawkins with a broken heart emoji.
Bills cornerback Maxwell Hairston
“Forever grateful” wrote Hairston with a picture of McDermott and the rookie on the tarmac.

Johnson kept it short and sweet with a “smh” which stands for “Shake my head”.

Former Bills RB LeSean McCoy
“Wait wait so the GM stays after all these non talented rosters and absolutely NO HELP for Josh on offense or defense lol only in the NFL” said LeSean McCoy, apparently unaware that the NFL’s leading rusher played in Buffalo this season.
Former Bills OL and current broadcaster Eric Wood
Wood was on the first roster McDermott coached in 2017 and is now the color analyst for the radio network. It would be surprising if he tweeted all of his opinions here since he works for the team.
“Sean McDermott was an incredible hire for the Bills when he took over in 2017. I’m grateful for all he did for the organization. Sean is a great man and will be a great hire for another organization and I hate we couldn’t get over the hump with him as HC in Buffalo.”

Just a “Wowwwwww”

Former Bills head coach Wade Phillips
Former Bills head coach Wade Phillips laid out a classic troll job for the organization. Like McDermott, Phillips was fired after taking his team to the playoffs and losing.
“I was VERY surprised the Bills fired their Head Coach after a playoff loss. Wade Phillips”
