Anyone who thinks Sean Payton is better than McDermott and is trashing Tony Dungy are CLUELESS as to his record as a coach. Yeah here's their records, Payton and McD about the same. Other than the SB year never won more than 1 playoff game any season with one of the top QB's in the league. The only thing Peyton was much better at was winning challenges which don't think you'd make HC change based on. 1 Quote

Marvin Lewis lost in the first round every year for like 8 or 9 straight years McD only lost in the first round his first season. Marvin Lewis didn’t have Josh Allen and stephon diggs, what’s mcdermott’s excuse? 1 Quote

McDermott has done too much for the franchise and the city to be canned. So we will waste another year on Dungy 2.0 only to come up short again. We are now on three years wasted of the best QB play this team has ever had. And nothing to show for it. Next year will be four and the cap situation will only keep getting worse. This team needed a teacher and a father figure. Now they need a mercenary assassin. Give Josh Sean Payton or Jim Harbaugh and Bills win the SuperBowl next year. Its not going to happen so we had just be prepared for another year of this crap. When McDermott says we will learn and grow from this I hope some reporter has the balls to say when do you stop learning and winning instead? One thing I would like to clarify is McDermott is NOT Dungy 2.0 ... he's Marvin Lewis 2.0. Quote

billieve420 Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 McDermott should be on the hot seat starting next year. As CEO and guy who was responsible for building winning culture in Buffalo he has done good job. As HC have questioned some of his game day decisions but bigger issue is guys he has calling plays. Would move on from Frazier and have McDermott call plays next season while promoting from within to handle the day to day. Almost have to give Dorsey a pass being that it was his first year and offense has put up similar numbers. Feel he is limited by this offensive line which has also hurt Allen’s growth. #1 objective in the offseason should be upgrade offensive line and develop running game. Quote

It's HIS scheme, HIS defense, Frazier just running it under HIS direction. A defensive head coach doesn't bring in a new defensive scheme lol... could you imagine Andy Reid firing the OC and saying he's going to bring in a different offensive scheme? Frazier is calling the defense though, right? Quote

Allen will be in his mid 30's, Diggs long gone before Pegula decides to do something about McDermott. God that is depressing but also likely Quote

What about his first 5 or 6 years in Kansas City? He is a HOF head coached that took over 20 years to win his first Super Bowl.

Dan Reeves was very successful, had 8 winning seasons out of 11 as HC in Denver. Could never win the big game. Reeves fired his OC Mike Shannahan the year before he himself was sacked. The Broncos brought back Shannahan as HC the following season and would go on win two Super Bowls with Elway. Quote

I don’t know what the answer is, but I know that if major changes are not made, we can expect a similar result. Edited January 23, 2023 by mannc 1 Quote
TheFunPolice Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Reid was always seen as a QB whisperer. As an offensive coach he found ways to get the most out of his QBs and offenses. After decades of finding ways he finally got a top QB to work with. McDermott is supposed to be a defensive coach but his defenses always come up short when it matters and he has his own 1st and 2nd round picks all over the place. Reid will also retire top 3 (at worst) in NFL history in head coaching wins. No comparison at all. If we lost 13-10 or something like that with our defense playing amazing but the offense not quite being able to do enough then it would be harder to criticize McDermott.

Joe Ferguson Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 McDermott is the reason Bills got eliminated three years in a row. 2021: coaching scared. 2022: 13 ***** seconds. 2023: unprepared. 2 Quote

All kidding aside, I think you're right. And I'd be on the phone with Greg Roman tomorrow. Quote
