The Buffalo Bills have parted ways with longtime head coach Sean McDermott after yet another disappointing postseason. McDermott was at the reins for nine seasons, which included a 98-50 regular-season record (.662 win %), eight playoff appearances, but zero trips to the Super Bowl. McDermott was 0-2 in AFC Championship Games.
After the 51-year-old was let go, Kalshi was quick to post a prediction market on who will replace him. The table below shows the Buffalo Bills next head coach odds for every candidate on the board.
Bills Next Head Coach Odds
If you’re new to prediction markets, all successful contracts return $1. So if you buy a contract a Yes contact on Brian Daboll at 30¢ and he is hired, you would profit 70¢ on every contract you purchased at that price. If you bought contracts on No at 71¢ and someone else gets the job, you would profit 29¢ on every No contract you purchased at that price.
Brian Daboll Early Favorite in BUF Head Coach Odds
The early leader is recently-canned New York Giants HC Brian Daboll, who is trading at price of 30¢ on the Yes and 71¢ on the No. Kalshi gives him a 34% chance of getting the job based on the early market activity.
If the Bills are looking for someone with an established playoff pedigree, Daboll would certainly be a quizzical choice. In four seasons with the Giants, he reached the playoffs just once (his first season) and went 0-1. He finished his 3.5-year tenure with a brutal .336 win percentage (20-40-1).
Mike Tomlin a Contender in Bills HC Odds
A more sensible choice for a franchise still in search of “the big one” would be longtime Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Not only did he have zero had a losing seasons in 19 years on the Pittsburgh sideline, he also led the Steelers to a championship at Super Bowl 47 and got them back to the title game in Super Bowl 49.
He finished his tenure in Pittsburgh with an 8-12 postseason record.
