Due to the Buffalo Bills’ dismal performance in the current NFL season, head coach Sean McDermott is already under fire.
In the middle of all of this, McDermott also faced criticism after a recent article revealed how he inspired his team members by using the 9/11 terrorist attacks as motivation. The head coach of the Bills has now spoken with the media regarding the article.
Sean McDermott was questioned regarding his remarks regarding the article at the press conference on Friday. He claimed that the past 24 hours since Go Long’s article was published had been painful and depressing. McDermott went on to say that the article was a personal jab at him.
I know who I am. I know how I try to do things. Am I without flaw? No, I’m not without flaw and I say that humbly. I believe we try and do things right here. It doesn’t mean that everything we do is right, people are going to have their own opinions. McDermott told reporters
Go Long wrote a piece on Thursday that detailed McDermott’s role in the Bills’ issues and disclosed how, in 2019, he had taught his players the value of teamwork by using a 9/11 allusion.
[Sean McDermott] cited the hijackers as a group of people who were all able to get on the same page to orchestrate attacks to perfection. according to Go Long
Sean McDermott expresses regret for his callous allusion to 9/11.
Sean McDermott spoke to the media on Friday before the Bills’ pivotal Week 14 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning Super Bowl champions. He used his time on stage to apologize for motivating his team with a reference to 9/11.
That day, I wanted to talk about how important it is for the team to communicate and be on the same page. That day, I felt bad about bringing up 9/11 in my message, and I apologized to the team right away. McDermott at the press conference on Friday
Pro Football Talk claims that although many people anticipated that the new report would jeopardize McDermott’s employment, it won’t have any impact on McDermott’s position. However, if he didn’t have a successful postseason campaign this year, the Bills might let him go.
With a 6-6 record right now, the Bills are barely hanging onto their hopes of making the playoffs. In order to advance to the postseason, they would try to win their final games. This weekend, in a much awaited game, they will play the Chiefs in an attempt to secure a postseason berth.
