The Buffalo Bills are gearing up to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild card round of the postseason as they begin another January journey towards a hopeful Super Bowl win.
Meanwhile in the NFL, the Bills' AFC rival Baltimore Ravens fired head coach John Harbaugh after 18 seasons. The Ravens failed to make the postseason with an 8-9 record, and Baltimore has won just three playoff games in the Lamar Jackson era.
Harbaugh is the hottest name on the market, but is waiting until next week to take interviews, something that Mike Florio says is very calculated.
"The plan to press pause conflicts with the Harbaugh ethic," Florio writes. It’s a strategy, aimed at one apparent thing: Finding out whether the six games to be played this weekend will lead to more openings... The two to watch most closely — and the two teams that folks around the league are indeed watching the most closely — are the Packers and Bills."
Could the Buffalo Bills fire Sean McDermott in favor of John Harbaugh?
Should the Buffalo Bills fail to reach the Super Bowl this season, many in Bills Mafia would like to see changes made at head coach and general manager - especially if they lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday.
With Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow all out of the playoffs, the road to a Super Bowl has never been more open for the Bills. If they fail, perhaps Terry Pegula makes massive changes and moves on from Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. And if he does that, Harbaugh would be the most proven name on the market to bring in as Buffalo's new head coach.
