Can Sean McDemott Join an Elite Coaching Club with a Historic 100th Win?

Sean McDermott is on the verge of hitting a remarkable milestone — his 100th career win as an NFL head coach — and he’s doing it only nine seasons into his journey at the helm. That’s not just impressive; it’s downright elite company. Few coaches can claim such rapid success; names like George Seifert, Paul Brown, John Madden, Joe Gibbs, and Mike McCarthy make up this exclusive club. Sure, McDermott’s been handed a 17th regular season game advantage since 2021, but tallying 99 wins in fewer than a decade still speaks volumes about his aptitude and resilience. His regular season record of 92-47, coupled with an even 7-7 playoff slate, underscores a coach who consistently keeps his team in the thick of the hunt. Of course, the postseason is the real proving ground—and with Buffalo’s chances looking bright in this open conference, the challenge is clear: breakthrough past Kansas City and finally clinch a spot in the Super Bowl. The Bills’ quest for glory is far from over, and McDermott’s legacy is just getting started. LEARN MORE
