Sean McDermott is taking a sabbatical from coaching this season. He was fired at the end of last season after nine years as head coach of the Buffalo Bills. He told ESPN’s Rich Eisen on “The Rich Eisen Show” on April 22 that he plans to use this year to recalibrate and refocus on his family.
“It’s interesting,” McDermott said. “You get a year where you get a chance to get some rest, catch up on some rest, lean in on the family a little bit, and maybe go once or twice through the school drop-off line to drop the kids off. And now here comes the draft, and I’m starting to get a little bit like, ‘okay, I should be somewhere,’ right? And I’m in my living room at home, right? So yeah, it’s a little bit different right now.”
