I like what I've heard and seen about McDermott. Seems like a real up and coming head coach star in this league. I have such a better feeling about this than I had when Rex had his presser.
I just hope the fans and Pegula's are patient and give him the full 4-5 years or whatever it is. This first go-around on Coordinators may not be exactly the perfect fit. We'll see but I want McDermott to establish his culture which is obviously much more professional than Rexys. If he has to change coordinators at some point than so be it.

And we agree again!
Moreover, like many skills, public speaking (and spoken communication in general) are skills that can be taught and improved with practice - provided one desires to improve and is motivated to put in the time.
The sense I get from Terry Pegula is that where public speaking is concerned, he lacks both desire to do it and motivation to improve at it. He sees it as something he'd like to hire people to do for him.
Terry is probably like a lot of us. Lousy public speaker..gets nervous, doesn't think quick on his feet...he prefers to speak in a small room with people who he's comfortable with or one on one. The guy is a billionaire. At this point in his life I wouldn't be taking Toastmaster classes either. He is what he is.

I'm glad it's a night game, selfishly. I have stuff to do during the day and I anticipate a good game
Me too. I'll be driving between 1-4pm. This is perfect. I'll be able to watch every play now.

On GR, McDermott said one of the first things he is going to do, starting today, is to reach out to all of the players and call them individually. In the press conference he said he spoke to Tyrod on the phone yesterday. There is virtually no chance that Tyrod called him, versus him calling Tyrod. That, to me, is a very clear indication he is very open to having TT back.
I agree. McDermott knows more than anyone how challenging it is to stop a guy like Tyrod from moving the pocket, extending plays...hitting dimes downfield, etc.. There are several teams that would make Tyrod their #1 free agent signee if he becomes available. The Bills and McDermott cannot be dumb enough to let Tyrod walk out of the building without a significant upgrade in-house come early March. I don't give a crap what Jim Kelly says.
-
I'm not inspired at all by the retreads. There are some very bright young minds out there. No one knew who Sean McVay was when he was promoted from a tight ends coach to OC for Washington. I would not mind at all if McDermott tapped someone who we have not heard of yet.
-
He was running the Tampa 2 for Lovie down there. He has been hired here to run the Jim Johnson defense. No doubt.
Absolutely. That is my hope. He is overseeing McDermotts defense.
Let's face it, Sean M. Was hired here to fix the D so he will have a big say over the play calls and the scheme. He knows if the D fails, his head coaching career will be short lived.
-
This OC thing has me worried. Already the No. 1 rushing attack has taken a hit with the loss of A. Lynn calling the shots. If Tyrod goes, then I may not even renew my season tix. I hope they can find a bright innovative guy... but I feel like I need to start getting used to 17 points per game average
-
My buddy is a big Tampa Bay fan. He said Frazier is the worst DC they've seen down there in a long time. He is surprised McDermott hired him and Leslie won't last more than 2 seasons.
OK that being said, if Whaley provides good players I think most of these coaches will suddenly look a lot better, a lot smarter. We'll see.

McCoy rumored to be finalizing a deal w Denver. I saw on Twitter but can't copy and paste from my phone
-
Some fans in Baltimore hate this move. They see Roman as a guy whose system numbers are inflated because he has used running QB's. Flacco is obviously not that.
-
This sucks for San Diego but for the hard core Chargers fans...at least the 2 cities are only a two hour drive apart. I imagine their fan base in LA will still have plenty of San Diego fans making the drive.
-
You had the feeling that McDermott was going to be head coach for someone in 2017.
You had the feeling Anthony Lynn will not be head coach for any team in 2017 unless it was Buffalo.
I don't hate this hire. Seems like Buffalo went out and convinced a fairly hot commodity to sign up here. The easy thing to do would have been to hire Lynn and maintain that continuity. We all would have said.."they couldn't do better"?
-
Switched at birth - Sean McDermott & Ron Howard?
I thought that as well. In a couple photos i said to myself, this guy looks like Richie Cunningham!
-
I have to admit, if the Bills rolled out Vance Joseph as their new Head coach I'd rip them to shreds. Since Elway and Denver hired him...Vance seems much more attractive as a head coach. Just goes to show how highly regarded Denver is as a top tier organization.
-
So if Elway wants Tyrod, and McCoy is being lured to Denver to be OC...that would lend to the theory that McCoy would be fine with Tyrod as well. So if McCoy stays linked with McDermott ...McCoy may be a Tyrod guy and wants to coach him.
-
Good to see the Carolina board is happy for McD and sad that he's leaving their organization. Seems like their fanbase all like and respect the guy.

Elway has taken his team to the playoffs almost every year. Won the division title a bunch of times, won 2 AFC championships and 1 SuperBowl with a less than steller QB and drafted/traded for 30 total ProBowlers during his tenure as GM. He is also a hall of fame QB. He has been trying to bring in Tyrod since 2015, last year and now this off-season again. Are you really insinuating you know more than John Elway about evaluating QB talent?
Ha. Very true. I would trust Elway's judgement over anyone on this board.. Tyrod would be a plug n play QB for them. Instant playoffs withTT that D and home field advantage.
-
If the Bills let TT walk out that door with no better option...(and i mean a very good option).. I will be furious.
-
Interesting to listen to McDermott speak about D. Seems like a well spoken guy that is confident, I can see why he was a candidate for several teams..
-
It's been reported but not confirmed....wait until it happens before you flip out....
Yes. Pegula's has also said in an article that the offense produced and insinuated that the other side of the ball was the problem. Even a novice football person would be inclined to keep the productive unit intact.
-
I don't know anything about McDermott. Is he a disciplinarian, tough guy?
Will the offense regress if they hire a defensive guy? I still want my 25 pts per game on O
-
I just can't see any new coach coming here and saying "yeah I know we were #1 in rushing last year but let's blow that up, get a newbie inexperienced QB, and run a whole new offense".
-
just heard on ESPN that Lynn is spending a second day interviewing in San Diego (don't let him leave the building) . So I would say he is going there.
If someone else hires Lynn, he will suddenly seem very attractive to Bills fans and lament the coach that got away.
Bills Hire Sean McDermott as New Head Coach

Kelly never met the man before this hiring. So there's no possible way he's going to publicly anoint McD as the best hire ever. That would be stupid.
What Kelly needs to do is not talk smack about our QB. That was a total douche move when he made those recent comments about Tyrod.
