This is all very anecdotal. Different job different team different players different situation.
The most confusing part to me is why we are building a case for a few years of failure being okay under the new McDermott regime, but 2 years of better than bills average failure under Rex Ryan was insufferable.
Come to think of it wasn't Rex fired because Whaley had pegs ear and wanted him to bench Tyrod and he more or less refused?
Enter McDermott who also fights with Whaley over Tyrod, but Peg being wiser at this point realizes it is Whaley that is the problem.
Off topic at this point but come on, we (as fans) seem awfully confused about where we have been where we are and where we are going.
My general point is:
If McDermott can't give us better than Rex his first year then why did we fire Rex and Hire McD? He either IS a better coach, or he ISN'T.
I for one think he is a better coach, and that he will have more success than Rex did in the same time frame. I have to believe that is why we chose to fire the old and Hire the new, it's also why I am having trouble understanding most of the logic in this thread.
If that turns out not to be the case, I will be disappointed. At least with Rex we were knocking on the door.
