When the Buffalo Bills somewhat surprisingly fired Sean McDermott after seven consecutive playoff appearances, many assumed he’d quickly land on his feet as an NFL head coach elsewhere. After all, there were a total of 10 NFL head coaching vacancies this offseason.
Now, with just four NFL head coaching vacancies remaining, McDermott’s chances of landing one of them are getting slimmer by the day. Yet, there’s also a possibility that he doesn’t even want one of the few jobs that are left.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McDermott is “likely” to take a year off from coaching football...

Dennard Wilson is set to join New York as the team’s new defensive coordinator, as first reported by Mike Garafolo, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Wilson has worked with Harbaugh in the past. It thus came as no surprise when he was confirmed earlier today as a finalist for the gig.
The Athletic’s Ian O’Connor named Wilson as a finalist for the Giants on Sunday afternoon. The was also true of Broncos defensive backs...

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman have become the latest parody of Saturday Night Live. The late-night show has been on a roll when it comes to sports.
One of the most memorable things about Miami’s run to the College Football Playoff national championship game has been Michael Irvin. Of course, SNL had to get in on the action. Cast member Kam Patterson had the perfect spot-on spoof of the three-time Super Bowl winner. It came during a “Weekend Update” cameo alongside anchor Michael Che.
Last month, they went even further when spoofing Sherrone Moore after he got fired from Michigan....

Mike Garafolo reports that the Giants are hiring former Titans DC Dennard Wilson to the same role on the new staff of HC John Harbaugh.
According to Jordan Schultz, Wilson was a finalist along with Jim Leonhard and Anthony Weaver.
Earlier reports indicated he would interview for the job, and it seems things escalated to Wilson being hired rather quickly. He worked with Harbaugh in Baltimore and runs a similar scheme to what the Ravens did under Harbaugh.
Wilson did a decent job with Tennessee’s defense the last couple of seasons despite not operating with a full deck most of...
NFL Trade Rumors
Leadership in East Rutherford is undergoing a radical transformation as John Harbaugh takes control, resulting in the departure of several long-standing figures within the organization. Offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo is among those not being retained, despite receiving widespread acclaim for his recent work with the unit.
This house-cleaning extends beyond the coaching staff to the front office, where veteran executive Kevin Abrams was let go after nearly three decades with the franchise. Harbaugh is moving in a distinct direction, keeping only a few familiar faces like Tim Kelly and Charlie Bullen while preparing to utilize the fifth overall pick...

The Buffalo Bills have been linked with former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick amid their search for a new head coach.
The AFC East team shockingly fired Sean McDermott after their loss to the Denver Broncos last weekend. They have several candidates in line and are “casting a wide net.”
However, Belichick is not among the options.
The 73-year-old currently coaches the UNC Tar Heels and is coming off a 4-8 debut season.
Should he return to the NFL this year, it won’t be with the Bills.

For the third time in as many seasons, the Las Vegas Raiders are searching for a new head coach. First, they hired someone with zero head coaching experience, but Antonio Pierce only lasted one season.
Then, they tried to take the opposite approach by hiring a coaching legend with 19 seasons of NFL head coaching experience. But again, Pete Carroll only lasted one season.
Now, the Raiders may be leaning toward hiring another candidate with zero NFL head coaching experience.
According to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, “multiple league sources consider” Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as a “prime...
