Hebert19 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 First off. I may be in minority but I think hes a hell of a coach. This team has overacheived in my opinion based on the talent he has had to work with. Secondly. He's a class act. Hes got the back of his players and does all the right things for the organization from a human perspective. He appreciates people like Kyle and McCoy who go above and beyond to be mentors. Like him or not. Hes a good man. 22 6 14
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 He's a very good leader. Hopefully the results prove it in year 3 or 4. I like him lots. 5
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 people forget hes only been an NFL HC for like 5 minutes. He's a solid leader and his game day coaching will improve, especially as he gets better players. 1 1
WhoTom Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 I agree with all of the above. Plus, I loved that he used a time out to let Kyle walk off the field with an ovation. 6
Inigo Montoya Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Sure he's a good guy, but he claps a lot. Can't have a head coach who's a clapper. I mean he did break the Drought last year. And he does manage to get guys to play for him even when everyone knows the season is lost. It is only his second year coaching and he is probably going to get better at his job as he gets more experience at it going forward. And I guess you can argue that he managed to squeak out 6 wins this year with the lowest payroll roster in the League and a rookie QB. Sure, he's a class act too, but, what about that clapping.... 2 8 1 1
Wildcard Weekend Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 He's way too conservative. Reminds me a lot of Dick Jauron. 1
Bill_with_it Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Nice thread now this is something worthy of discussion! I agree. 1. He keeps in-house stuff in house. 2. He has learned after the Peterman ordeal that don’t put a player out there if he isn’t ready. 3. He’s installed a team first mentality. 4. He’s been able to pull off a pretty good defensive system once Milano gets back and we can get the linebackers to settle in their gaps (run game). 5. He’s shown he’s not averse to taking a risk that the benefits outweigh the ramifications. 6. He recognizes good defensive talent. 7. He allows the offensive coordinator to call plays. 8. He seems as if he would do anything to take care of his players. 9. He lets the referees have it when they deserve it. 10. He truly believes the team he coaches has a shot every week and isn’t afraid of any team. 8 1

dabills21 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Very much a class act. I'd add in that he took two knees to make sure the defense had 1 more opportunity to get on the field. He's an excellent coach. I personally know a few college coaches that speak extremely high of him. I like how he has turned this defense back into a top echelon group, with solid talent...just wait for some of these young guys to keep developing 2
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Great motivator and leader. He needs to improve game day coaching. If he can do that I think we found our coach for years. 1
Foxx Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 our coach certainly could be considered a dichotomy of consistancy. there is no doubt that he can motivate his players and get them to overachieve. however, there is also no doubt that there are weeks when he just misses the mark completely. the fact that he regularly displays both extremes, as well as everything inbetween, should be a cause for concern. not knowing which team will play from week to week, to me is some what troubling. i think this next year, he needs to prove that they can be more consistent in their weekly play.
Xwnyer Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Bill Cowher he will be a great coach. Calling timeout to get Kyle the ovation at the end is classy! Plus putting in some plays on offense with him was great as well. They figured might not get to go alone again so called the pass play! Edited December 30, 2018 by Xwnyer
LabattBlue Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 It’s all about results. It doesn’t matter if he is a class act. Another 6-10 season and his class act a$$ may be kicked to the curb. 2

MJS Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Let's get him more talent to work with. He obviously has the ability to create a good defense, even with a lot of scrubs. He is a great motivator and leader. Just have to fix the offense, which is ultimately up to him. Not his background, but he needs to make correct coaching hires and decisions to get it done.
LSHMEAB Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 McDermott and Beane are often seen as one and the same, but they are certainly not. I'm much more convinced that McDermott is a quality coach than I am Beane a quality GM.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Bill Cowler was commenting how impressed he is with him and how he's going to become a great coach. Guess that makes me real happy we never did get Cowler to come here to coach as he must really be clueless if he thinks McD is a good coach as many on this board much more knowledgeable about the game than Bill Cowler is have already told us that McD is a terrible coach. Who can argue with the experts around here? 2

McNubbins Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 When does he get his trophy for class? Just kidding. I agree, he's a good man. He does have a ways to go, however. Next year is the real test.
