Several reports say former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is being considered as a possible option for the Washington Commanders’ head coaching job. The speculation centers on a potential coaching change involving the Commanders, particularly if head coach Dan Quinn is fired. Yahoo Sports and Newsweek both frame McDermott as a candidate should Washington move on from Quinn before or during the season.
The reports do not indicate that a decision has been made, but they present McDermott’s name as part of the team’s pool of potential replacements. McDermott previously led the Bills, and the linking of his name reflects his established status as an experienced NFL head coach. The information remains conditional on whether Quinn loses his job.
As of the latest coverage, the Commanders’ coaching situation and any timing for a possible change are not confirmed, and no additional details about interviews or formal contact with McDermott are provided in the cited reports.
