Who will absolutely, positively, 100%, be that "better" choice you are clamoring for? I keep on hearing "McDermott is the problem." Who is the solution? Someone actually available to be hired. Expand Will be answered after the season if a Super Bowl appearance doesn’t happen. On 6/20/2023 at 1:25 AM, Albany,n.y. said: Joe Burrow is the reason. A QB change to a franchise QB changes everything. Expand And a team changing a coach after failing year after year can be a reason as well. Bills have the franchise QB in place. The fact some think McDermott is some untouchable head coach is hilarious to me. Dude should be replaced if the Bills don’t get to the Super Bowl. 1 Quote
Rigotz Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 Lou Anarumo is one that comes to mind. If we want a defensive coach, might as well have one that can shut down a high powered offense in the playoffs (ours and KC). The point is we could get anyone we want and there are always options. Lets hope McDermott pulls it off this year. If not, I think he maybe has 1 more chance next year, then that’s it. 2 1 Quote

Expand Kubiak had a mediocre 82-75 W-L (.522) record as a head coach. I'm not convinced that the Broncos won because of him. In might be more in spite of him.

When you think of KC it's Mahomes, Kelce, Reid, their OL but their defense while not elite at least plays well enough to help them win 2 Super Bowl championships. 1 Quote
Straight Hucklebuck Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) According to the media - just pick any offensive coach in 2023. We don't count Nate Hackett, Adam Gase, Kevin Stefanski, Kliff Kingsbury and so on. And the media will always give you the insightful and helpful tip to "get someone who has shown they can develop a QB" because you didn't know that the QB mattered much in professional football. Edited June 21, 2023 by Straight Hucklebuck Quote
Straight Hucklebuck Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 But to answer the OP - Ben Johnson sounds like a guy who gets it, but how many years do you need to convince yourself? The OC of the Bengals, Brian Callahan, you would think wouldn't make it out of the next HC cycle without a job. 1 Quote

Expand John Fox is a great example but hardly the only example. There is also Tony Dungy, who coached the Buccaneers from 1996 to 2001 and led them to the playoffs in four of his six seasons, but was unable to guide them to the Super Bowl and was fired.
