Feels like we're doing this every 48 hours or so over the last couple weeks.

But a strange season has turned into a very strange coaching carousel.

A couple, 10 days, two weeks after John Harbaugh is fired by the Ravens,

about a week after Mike Tomlin moves on from the Steelers,

John McDermott out as the Buffalo Bill's head coach after nine seasons.

I don't even know where to start with this, Dave,

but surprising news this morning in some ways, not surprising in others.

The fact that the bill season ended this way, I don't think anybody should be shocked by this,

but I also kind of think it's strange or funny timing considering how some of the other bill seasons ended in the job I thought that Sean McDermott did this year

specifically. I like that framing because this is now three times in the last two weeks where

we get on this live stream and say, there are a lot of reasons why this isn't surprising, but

I still wind up pretty surprised that they pulled the trigger. Like we, we had the wherewithal to talk about Harbaugh and Tomlin and Sean McDermott

maybe potentially being in trouble if these seasons didn't go well.

And still, given what they've accomplished and how long they've been in their roles and

what they mean to those organizations.

I mean, it's worth thinking about who the Buffalo Bills were before Sean McDermott became their

head coach. And so even if we can point to a dozen reasons why this makes sense, it still winds up

being surprising when a team is willing to do this. And now it's it's three of them, all in the AFC, by the way. Outside of Andy Reed, who's the longest tenured coach in the AFC right now? I want to circle back to that idea about the Sean McDermott role in the Buffalo Bills rebuild and what the franchise is now at some point. But let's start with, I think, how we get here. And we've talked about this a million

different times over the back half of the season, how strange the playoff pool is and what's

missing from the playoff pool. This year, this is the year where the MVP level alien

quarterbacks are not in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen.

Literally your two last MVP's.
