McDermott & Beane Extended Through 2027

[Franco_92]

They can still be fired at any time.

 

They won't be because they shouldn't be

I think it shows the seat is a LOT cooler than a lot of fans want it to be and the media have speculated it is. 

 

I see almost no way this regime doesn't remain into 2024 at the very least. And the likelihood is the rope is a fair bit longer. Part of the reason why is surely that Terry knows he isn't great at these appointments. For all that McD and Beane ain't perfect and there are legit holes you can pick in both, they are overwhelmingly the two best hires that Pegs has made across multiple attempts for two franchises. 

They’re a top 5 combination in the league. Not one GM or HC is without flaws. 
 

It’s just fatigue from the fan base - happens everywhere. Grass is always greener or something like that.

Already some here hoping they get fired anyways, it’s so much fun sit back and watch the mental gymnastics required to maintain their thought process, 😂 🍸🚬, where’s my bar snacks…, 🤣

Amazing how you can under perform in the playoffs year after year, and get rewarded for it.

 

I guess management is similar to many fans, and they are simply content not being the old Bills that were never a threat to even make the playoffs

But, why?

 

Didn't they have several years of contract left?

 

 

 

Doesn’t really matter I guess. Many coaches have been fired after signing extensions.

 

I am shocked you are questioning this move.  It's so unlike you.

I think top 5 is slightly higher than I'd have them but I agree with the spirit of your comment.

They don’t underperform. That’s the thing. At least not consistently. They are 1 of 2 teams to win a playoff game each of the last 3 years.

I think this move shows Pegula didn't want them to feel like they were on the hot seat and wanted to take some pressure off of them.  That doesn't mean there won't be expectations to bring this team to a Super Bowl and I think Beane and McDermott have proven they are both self-motivated but Pegula just wants them to feel comfortable.  In that sense I like this move, and it's not like they can't get fired down the road if this thing does go off the rails completely.

Failed to meet expectations two straight years, and were embarrassed on their home field last season says otherwise 

[papazoid]

they built a top 5 team

 

guessing whatever comes after them will be worse

KC blew a 21 point lead at home a couple years ago. If the Bills get blown out again then it’s a problem.

Good move.  The best franchises have stability in the front office

[Gregg]

They have changed the culture of the organization. Of course, Allen is a big part of that. Three straight division titles, 5 playoff appearances in 6 years so it's no surprise Pegula extended them. They need to get over the hump in the playoffs as these playoff disappointments are getting old.

[GuardianAngel]

Does this open up the Pegulas personal cap space? Dhop confirmed. 

[Beast]

Good. Happy for this news.

[DrDawkinstein]

I've had a side-eye on McD for the past year, but I'm all for stability. Especially with a duo who has performed as well as they have.

 

On a side note: I wonder if McD would ever be open to a “promotion” to President of Football Operations, like Parcells. Have the HC and GM answer to him. Terry takes a further step back to focus on family. Get a new, fiery HC in.

You can also throw in that with the new stadium,  stability getting into it might be on everyone's mind as well.

[Big Turk]

There go the people who thought they were on the hot seat which I found laughable.
