Did McDermott's seat just get a little warmer?

[Simon]

I think he arrived in Buffalo as a very good football coach who has continued to get better in his time here.

But Beane just handed him a roster that he HAS to win a Super Bowl with at some point.

Did that hypothetical point just get a bit closer to the present?

[Big Turk]

No.

[Shake_My_Head]

No.

[Coach Tuesday]

Yes but to his credit I think he’d welcome the added pressure.

[Rc2catch]

Yeah I think he’d agree he does need to win one. He helped build a contender there’s only one thing left to accomplish

No, because soon his seat will be on his player’s shoulders.

[Beast]

No.

[MJS]

Not even slightly. He has one of the coldest seats in the NFL.

[WhoTom]

His seat got warmer because he peed his pants when Beane told him about signing Von Miller.  😀

[GolfandBills]

If he squanders another game like he did in KC it will warm rather fast

I think it will too, but if things get Billsy again in another playoff game that ends our season.....?

[1ManRaid]

No.

[Batman1876]

No. No, man. Heck, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

This is a question for Tyler Dunne . . . .

[ArtVandalay]

It did from the 13 second debacle, his latest playoff flop.

 

He did an amazing job building culture and grinding wins defense first pounding the rock. 

 

But this is a different team,  a high scoring highly talented roster.  He may not be the coach for it. He a tractor trailer driver trying to drive an F1 race car.  This year is huge.

 

Make or break. Can't sacrifice team success because we used to suck.

[ColoradoBills]

Not even close.

[BattlinBill]

No

[Warcodered]

No, Von Miller is used to playing in Denver so I doubt they turn the heat up for him.

[stinky finger]

The goal is a championship.

 

He has the best QB in the league and more troops are dropping in from the sky as we speak, thanks to Beane.

 

I've said previously: If McDermott cannot lead us to the SB this upcoming season, I'm considering a change at HC. 

[Steptide]

That 17 year drought made some fans really impatient. 4 yrs with playoffs under McDermott, one afc championship game, and some fans think this team HAS to win a supowbowl this year. Sadly that's not how it works. There's tons of examples of great coaches/players who should've won superbowls that didn't, or it took them a long time.
