Sean McDermott sticks out on the list of longest-tenured NFL head coaches

[Marjala]

There wasn’t a shakeup at the top of the list of longest NFL coaching tenures this offseason. Last year, Bill Belichick moved on from the New England Patriots. This year, there was some mumbling around Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers as possibly being on the outs, but he remains in place. When you look at the list of the longest-tenured head coaches in the NFL and see Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott near the top Matt Prater Jersey, he sticks out like a sore thumb for one reason. McDermott has never led his team to the Super Bowl. Tomlin is atop of the list at 18 seasons in Pittsburgh followed by John Harbaugh in Baltimore with 17 seasons. Both of them have a Super Bowl victory. Next on the list is Andy Reid with the Kansas City Chiefs, who has three Super Bowl victories and is a big reason the Bills don’t have one appearance in the last few years. Then it’s McDermott at eight seasons coming in fourth. He was hired the same offseason as Sean McVay of the Rams who has a Lombardi trophy and another appearance.
