Did Josh Allen play a role in Bills' firing of Sean McDermott?  image

The Buffalo Bills' decision to fire head coach Sean McDermott has been met with some differing views.

Mostly due to the fact that general manager Brandon Beane, since Josh Allen has been with the franchise, has drafted just two Pro Bowlers, not to mention the receiver position that he has consistently ignored.

The decision to move on from McDermott was a huge one, and it shocked most of the NFL world. We have heard from players who are shocked by the move, while media members are equally flabbergasted.

But ESPN's Stephen A. Smith wants to hear from one person we haven't yet heard from about McDermott's firing.

“I don’t know this at all, but I believe a decision of this magnitude can not be made without you getting some thoughts from Josh Allen ahead of time,” Smith said. “So, it’s going to be really interesting to hear what he has to say about McDermott’s departure.”

Did Allen play a role in McDermott's firing?

There are two ways to look at this, and both aren't good for Bills Mafia.

The first is that the Bills went on and made this franchise-altering decision without consulting their MVP quarterback, which would be shocking.

They surely would have run it by Allen first, as Stephen A. Suggested.

The second is that Allen signed off on it.

And with players making their voices known on the firing of McDermott, with Taron Johnson and Jordan Phillips not fans of the move, things are a little rocky in Buffalo right now.

But we await Allen's thoughts on what was a huge decision for the franchise.
