We've seen this story before in Wade Phillips. Great defensive coordinator, good guy, but mediocre head coach. I like McDermott, seems like a solid guy. I disagree that he sold Pegula a bill of goods, he definitely helped turned the Bills around with his emphasis on culture and process. We were a dumpster fire before he got here. Perhaps you're right that Pegula/Beane gave him too much power, but his main problem is he has failed to evolve and hasn't grown past his serious limitations has head coach, such as decision making and clock management. Pegula and Beane have hopefully told him he has the rest of the season to prove he should keep his job (at least for another year).
