McDermott has put himself in a postition to have a chance to win it all this year. If he succeeds his tenure in Buffalo will probably be the lenght of George Halas.
If he does not succeed, I will probably asking people if Dan Reeves was a good coach, and the logical answer is yes. And the followup question: was Dan Reeves as good as Michael Shannahan, and the logical answer is no. If we don't get to the Super Bowl this year, is it time to look for our Michael Shannahan, or do simply not take such a chance.
