3 Head Coaching Candidates to Replace Sean McDermott in Buffalo

3 Head Coaching Candidates to Replace Sean McDermott in Buffalo

This morning, NFL fans saw yet another domino fall in what was already one of the craziest head coaching carousels of all time: two days after losing to the Denver Broncos, the Buffalo Bills fired their longtime coach, Sean McDermott.

In nine seasons, the former Panthers DC was a dominant regular-season coach who failed to win when it mattered in the postseason.

It’s a familiar story, as teams around the league seem to be comfortable moving on from “winning coaches” if they...

BTB Monday Discussion: Who do you want to win the Super Bowl?

Another round of NFL playoff action has wrapped and we are officially down to a final four:

  • Denver Broncos
  • Seattle Seahawks
  • New England Patriots
  • Los Angeles Rams

One of these teams is going to win the Super Bowl, but all of them are going to be regarded in high esteem with having reached their conference championship games. As Dallas Cowboys fans we know full well how welcome even a conference championship game appearance would be, not saying that this is the standard, and all four of these teams have the most recent.

Cowboys Draft Fits in the Indiana vs. Miami 2026 CFP Championship

Cowboys Draft Fits in the Indiana vs. Miami 2026 CFP Championship

When I watch the Indiana vs. Miami College Football Playoff National Championship, I’m not just watching the game. I will be watching for draft prospects who fit the Cowboys’ needs.

The big thing to keep in mind is:

The Cowboys do not have a second or third round pick.

That tidbit of information changes how I look at the matchup.

I don’t want this to be about falling in love with every flashy name. This is about identifying players who actually make sense for Dallas, either as true value picks early or realistic Day three targets.

Cowboys’ tight end room was one of its best in 2025

Cowboys’ tight end room was one of its best in 2025

The Dallas Cowboys kept three tight ends on the roster in 2025. All three of them did something not seen from the tight end room since 2020.

All three stayed healthy and played in every regular season game.

The recently concluded season was also the first since 2020 when the Cowboys only needed three tight ends for the entire year.

The three players – Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker, and Brevyn Spann-Ford – even managed to total 22 starts. The Cowboys’ offense juggled its starting lineup weekly, leading to five games started with two tight ends on the field.

Cowboys all but lose top DC option as second major coaching domino falls- Jerry Trotta, The Landry Hat

The Cowboys are staying patient in their DC search for several reasons.

Cowboys may not even get the chance to interview Jeff Ulbrich for DC job

“I think they’re waiting on that Ulbrich from Atlanta,” Broaddus said on the Doin’ Alright podcast. “I think they’re waiting to see who Atlanta hires. I think they want Jeff Ulbrich as their defensive coordinator.”

Broaddus even believes that Dallas would hire Ulbrich over Jim Leonhard, who is many fans’...

Cowboys 2026 offseason preview: Quarterbacks

The Dallas Cowboys have a lot of work to do this offseason to get better results in 2026. One position they likely won’t do much with, though, is quarterback. With both Dak Prescott and Joe Milton III signed beyond next year and expected to return in the same roles, the only news at this spot may go no further than the practice squad.

Under Contract

Dak Prescott – After what many considered a resurgent year for Prescott, the 32-year-old has as strong a grip on the starting job as ever. Even if Dallas was waffling, his contract makes it...

What Will The NFL’s Conference Championship Round Look Like?

Can you believe we are hours away from the final four being set? Following Saturday’s divisional round matchups, half of the NFL’s Conference Championship round is set, and the other half will join Seattle and Denver later today.

Yesterday, we watched an electrifying game between the Broncos and the Bills; it is hard to believe now that Josh Allen, the reigning MVP, failed to show up when it mattered, and Bo Nix did; yet, neither will play next round.

Broncos QB Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken bone in his ankle during today’s overtime, victory over Buffalo.

The Buffalo Bills are the dynasty that never was

The Buffalo Bills are the dynasty that never was

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, through tears and sobs at the podium after losing a heartbreaker to the Denver Broncos in overtime, took full responsibility for the loss.

Allen claimed he let his team down, but his teammates, namely OL Dion Dawkins did not agree.

The Bills, led by Allen, finished the season with a 12-5 record and the sixth seed in the conference.

He had his usual statistical results, throwing and running all over defenses, willing his team to victory, and finishing the year with 3,668 yards passing, 39 total touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions on 69.3% passing.
