Bubba Gump Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Didn't see anything about this posted yet and it's about a week old article. This might be the most ridiculous ranking I've ever seen. Can't argue with the first five or so, but after that it gets ridiculous. How can a couple guys that have never coached a game in the NFL be ranked anywhere but the bottom? Also has Gase ranked ahead of Mcdermott. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/ranking-all-32-nfl-coaches-2019-best-worst/gd43to2wbdo41d07vmhzk0dx5 Edited May 30, 2019 by Bubba Gump
B Fan in LA Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Get ahold of your self, man.........it's just a story..........one man's opinion. I suggest you get a good nights rest. You'll feel better in the morning...........
dma0034 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Looks like they put a lot of blame on him for "regressing". People in the media don't care about the Bills. McDermott is a top 10 coach. 3 2 1
MJS Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Win games and the meaningless rankings will be more favorable. Winning cures everything. 1 1
Reks Ryan Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Only Marrone, Jay Gruden, and Shurmur ranked below McDermott. Other than a few of the new guys who are 1st year HCs. If McD does what many of us expect by leading Bills to winning seasons, perception will change. He will gain respect and move up the ranks. IMO McD is the best Bills coach since Marv and 2nd best in AFCE. Hope he is here for the next decade+. 1 1
mykidsdad Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 It's nearly impossible to grade a coach after two years with all of the roster turnover. And frankly how do you grade coach and not grade a coach as a coach-GM team. It's about the Johns and the Joes, not the X's and O's, right? 1

If he had been ranked top 5, the study would not have been so "ridiculous" and much more "good and accurate". 2

IMO McD is the best Bills coach since Marv and 2nd best in AFCE. Hope he is here for the next decade+. Last year was a Tale of Two Cities; "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...". The first half of the year (a full half season) the team was lost and putrid. I was personally puking on the word "process". And not just the lack of offense, but the defense was getting carved up as well. He was on the verge of losing the team AND the fan base. The losses to the Ravens (I was in attendance), Chargers, Colts, Packers, Bears and Patriots were as disheartening as it gets. He's accountable for the whole Peterman fiasco as well. The season was absolutely salvaged in the 2nd half after Allen came back from injury, they changed the WR core and the team set off in a new, exciting direction. He should certainly get his share of credit for that. However, when looking at McD in totality, that first half can't just be dismissed and declare him "Wonder Coach". Lets see what they do this year before clamoring for him to be rated substantially higher... Edited May 30, 2019 by cage 2
Doc Brown Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Coaches ahead of him I wouldn't want over him....O'Brien, Gase, Patricia, Gruden, LaFleur, Vrabel, Quinn, Zimmer, Gruden, Garrett, and Lynn. That puts him at #15. 2
eball Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I didn't read this review and I don't really care about it, but just on record alone (two seasons, one playoff appearance, 15-17 record) I think McD is in "middle of the pack" territory, which puts him somewhere between 12-20 I guess? This season, year three, is McD's opportunity to show what he has built and how much he has learned. Turn this team into a playoff contender and he'll receive the personal accolades. 1
GETTOTHE50 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Absolutely terrible ranking. That was a hack job of an article. A real ranking would provide evidence of game plans in crucial games (obviously if you are 3-10, the last couple games aren’t important) half time adjustments, in game challenges, player and culture development, of course wins, hand clapping, etc Who was the writer for that article? Remind me never to read anything by him again.
SoTier Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I'm sure that McDermott's love affair with Nathan Peterman contributed to his ranking. Edited May 30, 2019 by SoTier 2
oldmanfan Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Another example of the problems with having to fill a space every 24 hours. 2
BarleyNY Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Funny how the coaches on the top of that list seem to have the best, most proven QBs. Lotta hard work there. (eye roll)

Lets see what they do this year before clamoring for him to be rated substantially higher... I mostly agree with you. Anyone that expected anything except a train wreck of a season, probably wasn't paying very close attention. The team had a very poor roster with the exception of the first twelve or thirteen players on the defensive side of the ball. The cap situation prevented them from doing anything to salvage the offense. The o-line was a complete disaster and prevented them from having any real semblance of a running game. Although the fan base was angry about the losses, experts around the league had positive comments about the job being done by the coaching staff. The team played hard and competed. This season should tell whether McD is the real deal or not. The roster is much improved and the quarterback play should be considerably better. Barring significant injuries to key players, the team should have a better record. Even if they don't take a step forward this year, I don't expect McD to lose his job. I think that the owners recognize that you can't have an effective NFL franchise with constant turnover in leadership. Great teams in the league have continuity.
RoyBatty is alive Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Truly zero incite into McDermott as an head coach, talks about Ed Oliver and Josh Allen, how is that relative to what a good coach McDermott is.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 looks like bill bender doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. hey bill, find a new hobby, you suck at ranking coaches.
