I'm becoming more and more of the mind that McDermott is a good enough coach that we can win, but the issue is Beane's roster management.
Especially once you get into the "who would you hire as HC" discussions and guys like Stefanski or Flores are mentioned. No thanks.
Beane's signing have been bad overall lately, especially at WR. Samuel is never on the field. Same with Palmer. Maybe they would be great. But history suggests not. He's hit here and there, as any GM will, but it needs to be better.
This repeating pattern of late of bringing back previously released players mid season is a sign of desperation and that the roster moves didn't work.
IMO, McDermott wouldn't mind a change at GM. I believe he could do a lot better with better players. He can coach up the D but it only goes so far when Shaq Lawson is about to start a game for you in 2025.
