Despite Buffalo Bills being back in the Super Bowl conversation, the team’s coach, Lansdale’s Sean McDermott, is keeping his feet firmly planted on the ground, writes Jay Skurski for The Buffalo News.

McDermott was never entirely comfortable with the idea of celebrity, but he may have to get used to the spotlight.

In his four years as head coach of the Bills, he has overseen a turnaround that started with the end of a 17-year playoff drought which has continued with postseason appearances in each of the following years. He has now managed to completely alter the course of this struggling franchise.

“I’ve got to be better than I was the year before,” he said. ”If not, I didn’t put my time in.”
