The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott, the team announced Monday.
General manager Brandon Beane will remain with the organization and help lead the search for the team's next coach.
"Sean has done an admirable job of leading our football team for the past nine seasons," Bills owner Terry Pegula said in a statement. "But I feel we are in need of a new structure within our leadership to give this organization the best opportunity to take our team to the next level. We owe that to our players and to Bills Mafia."
