hondo in seattle Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I don't get Super-Bowl-or-Bust. I've seen supposed gurus rank our roster anywhere from 3rd the 8th best this year. It's not Super Bowl quality according to most. But the club with the best roster doesn't necessarily win the SB. I'd give the Bills maybe a 10% chance. I wouldn't fire the head coach for not turning a 10% probability into a reality. If you did fire McD, who would you hire? The coaches demonstrably better than him are either employed or retired. I'll take our chances with McD over our chances with an unproven coordinator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Should’ve gotten rid of him after 13 seconds. Last years playoff butt kicking at home was a no brainer to move on and bring in Sean Peyton. If we don’t make AFC title game or Super Bowl this year, he should be fired on the sidelines immediately after last game when clock hits 0:00. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 If we don't make the playoffs, then I can see him being fired. An early exit in the playoffs....seat is very hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many examples of teams that fired a coach that couldn't get them over the top and hired someone new that got them there. Some coaches just don't have it in them to go all the way. McDermott is one of them. Name one. And you're telling me there was no re-tooling by the new coach? No cleaning house? No bringing in his guys? His players? And who hires the coach? Beane, who you retain? Or are you firing him because he was McDermott's guy? And if you get a new GM, he's gonna want his guys. Sorry, I'm not signing up for that. We have a very good team. Sorry you didn't get the candy you were promised. 31 minutes ago, I'm Spartacus said: That was a little different though. The Sabres were the worst team in the NHL.

Let's not forget we beat the Fish by 3 points with their 3rd string QB on home turf. We could have easily lost that game; thank god we did not, but what if we had? It would have put McDermott on the hot seat a year (or more) sooner than he is going to end up on it anyway. Could have saved some time. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original post was no way Pegula will fire McDermott. He had no choice with firing the Sabres guys- they were the laughingstock of the NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I think his seat is hot. He's 2001 Tony Dungy to me. Another lackluster playoff performance could do it. It's a Super Bowl window year with a Super Bowl roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone cares what any of these so-called "experts" really think. But McDermott was outcoached in the first 2 games against them. I disagree on the playoff game. That was more of the Bills shooting themselves in the foot that let the Fins back in it. Early on that game looked like it was going to be a blowout.

Airseven Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 It comes down to competitiveness in the playoffs. Doesn't require a SB berth necessarily, but McDermott needs to right the trajectory and not get out-classed again when it counts. In fact, McDermott's seat gets much hotter if the Bills get blown out again in the playoffs as opposed to missing the wildcard cut at 10-7. He'll be measured by his ability to compete with elite teams in the spotlight and, if he fails again, his limitations as a head coach crystallize.

Yes this is make or break for McD. 13 seconds is COMPLETELY on him. I dont care about what Levi Wallace said or anything else. The Head Coach failed to bring the team together during the MULTIPLE time outs and get the football 101 gameplan together. Last year, we were on a down slide from the Bye week, and McD never got a fire lit under the team. I'm not sure he is even CAPABLE of lighting fires under guys. I agree with EVERY word of the 13 Seconds! Until the Clapper takes them to the SB AND Wins, 13 Seconds will always be on him! It was the worst HC lack of decision making in Pro Sports! Ranks with not running the Beast from the 1 and getting snakes eyes Butler! THAT was a SB appearance minimum… lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Super Fan Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I honestly have no idea what is going to happen to Seen McDermott nor do I really care at this point. I said everything about Sean McDermott already I wanted to say. It would be just piling on at this point. Sean McDermott as a NFL head coach is like paddling a canoe with one oar in the water instead of two oars going around in circles never going anywhere in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I wouldn't put it as a "make of break" season for the Bills. Make or break to me means if you fall short of expectations you will be fired. However, barring catastrophic injury a disappointment in the playoffs would be enough to cause put McD and company on the hot seat for 2024. But to fire, McD after 2023 would be far too premature for a man who completely turned around the organization from top to bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
