To be expected

Assuming Wednesday’s press conference is like the others we have seen involving Pegula over the past many years, he will not take questions but instead read a prepared statement before giving way to Beane. The Bills’ owner has not answered football-related questions in front of the Bills media in quite some time. and that should not be expected to change.

Beane has never met a microphone he didn’t like, will likely speak extensively. The local media on hand is sure to have plenty of ammo to fire at him regarding McDermott’s ouster, the team’s underperformance throughout the 2025 campaign, the franchise’s bleak financial future and other topics that have been passed around among the fan base over the past several months.

Unceremoniously dismissed

McDermott was fired on Monday after nine years at the helm, as he was hastily let go, with his dismissal accompanied by a grammatically incorrect statement from Pegula and crickets from Beane. It will be interesting to hear what the Bills’ leadership duo has to say about their failure to give the team’s former head coach a proper send-off.

There is also the team's search for a new head coach that is currently underway. Names of potential candidates have yet to surface, but offensive coordinator Joe Brady is sure to be in the mix. Brady has already secured interviews with numerous teams for their head coaching vacancies.

Other possible candidates include former Bills backup quarterback Davis Webb, who is currently the Denver Broncos' pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
