Sean McDermott Shuts Down Brian Daboll’s Return After Giants Firing — Inside the Tense History That’s Dividing the Bills Locker Room

Head coach Brian Daboll of the New York Giants looks on prior to the NFL Preseason 2025 game against the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium on...

Buffalo, New York – November 12, 2025

Just hours after Brian Daboll was fired by the New York Giants, the NFL world exploded with speculation: Could the former Bills offensive mastermind return to Buffalo?
Head coach Sean McDermott’s answer was swift — and ice cold.

At his November 10 press conference, McDermott was asked by reporter Jay Skurski if the team had considered bringing Daboll back in any capacity. His reply shut the door immediately:

“I understand why you’re asking that. Brian’s a great coach. Unfortunate to see that happen. At this point, that’s not under any type of consideration.”

For many Bills fans, that single sentence crushed every hope of a reunion.
Twitter lit up with heated takes — half calling for Daboll’s return to rescue Josh Allen’s struggling offense, and half defending McDermott’s stance, citing past conflicts between the two men.

Former Bills center John Feliciano revealed on a podcast that the tension was real:

“They didn’t get along. Daboll wanted freedom. McDermott wanted control. That’s why he left.”

Under current OC Joe Brady, the Bills’ offense has sputtered, and following a 30–13 loss to the Dolphins, fans are furious. One viral comment read:

“McDermott’s afraid Daboll would steal his spotlight. This isn’t about football anymore — it’s about ego.”

Analysts on shows like New York, New York and The Ringer NFL Show argued that this drama reflects deeper issues within Buffalo — a clash between discipline and creativity, hierarchy and innovation.

As of now, Daboll remains silent, reportedly resting after his Giants exit, with rumors linking him to potential advisory roles elsewhere — possibly even in Philadelphia.

The Bills continue to back Joe Brady, but if results don’t improve, the pressure on McDermott will only intensify. This saga isn’t just about two coaches — it’s about trust, pride, and the fragile legacy of a team still searching for its peak.
Buffalo didn’t just lose Daboll — they might be losing the identity that once made them great.

Bills WR Officially Benched After Repeatedly Showing Up Late to Team Meetings - This Is His Fifth Time Being Late, He Was Reportedly Intoxicated
SHOCKING news out of Orchard Park: The Buffalo Bills have indefinitely benched their former second-round wide receiver after yet another disciplinary incident. Sources inside One Bills Drive confirm this marks the FIFTH time in the 2025 season the player has been late to a team meeting — and the latest offense was the final straw: he reportedly showed up reeking of alcohol. Moments after Monday’s team meeting, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media with a tone that left no room for interpretation: “The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate disrespect toward this football team, disrespect toward your teammates, and disrespect toward yourself. We’ve given chances, we’ve had private conversations, we’ve done everything we can. At this point, enough is enough. When you walk into this building, you represent an entire city and an entire fan base. We cannot and will not accept this any longer.” That player? None other than Keon Coleman — the once-hyped Florida State product drafted in the second round of 2024 to be Josh Allen’s next big-play weapon. From “generational talent” to full-blown headache in less than two seasons: Incidents 1–2: Late to meetings → internal warnings Incident 3: Benched for two full games in November 2025 Incident 4: Seen dancing on the sideline while serving that benching Incident 5: Showed up late AGAIN… and allegedly intoxicated → indefinitely removed from the active roster Just weeks ago, Bills Hall of Famer Andre Reed spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to mentor the 22-year-old, but it now appears the message fell on deaf ears. With no Bills receiver currently on pace for even 760 yards this season and the room already paper-thin after the Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks additions, losing Keon Coleman — even for non-football reasons — is a gut punch. Bills Mafia is LIVID. Many are already calling for the front office to cut their losses, just like they did with first-round bust Kaiir Elam and second-round flop Boogie Basham. The million-dollar question now: Is this the end of Keon Coleman in Buffalo, or will Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane give him one final lifeline? Drop your take in the comments: Keep Keon and hope he grows up… or ship him out TODAY? 👇🔥
