It's the correct first step. Whether McD survives until 2024 is a separate issue. This HAD to happen NOW.

 

Let's see what happens under the change to Brady (and I'm sure Shula helping out).

 

I'm just glad to see them do SOMETHING, ANYTHING.

 

100%, he should have been booted weeks ago. Baby steps in the right direction, but the season is probably a wash now, better to focus on the future of the rest of the coaching staff.

Dorsey firing unfortunately might buy McDermott another year. 

That is the playbook.  

 

He is now out of Save my Job plays (other than losing your QB for a year)

First the Penn State OC, now Dorsey….who’s next? Don’t these firings come in 3s!? 🤔😂

I don’t disagree. 

However. Dorsey didn’t fumble on the first play.

Dorsey didn’t drop an easy pass that ended being being a pick.

Dorsey didn’t throw a stupid sideline interception.

Dorsey didn’t organize the field goal defense where an EXTRA MAN ON THE FIELD caused a game changing penalty.

Dorsey was bad.

But he was like the 5th bad thing last night.

Sure, but I don’t think you fire McD before the end of the season. Least ways not until the season is well and truly over 

[May Day 10]

We will see.  This could be Pegula demanding something happen while watching his $258 Million quarterback withering on a vine in his prime.  

 

 

If thats the case, I could actually see a coaching change on black monday if this 'streak' continues.

You disagree it's a possibility? Ok then. I could not have used broader language. 

 

oh, I totally agree it possibly buys McD another.  I disagree that it should/will.  But it's totally possible, particularly with this conservative FO.  I hope you are wrong

Should have canned McClappy too, obviously. Dorsey is the scapegoat. He didn’t drop balls or throw INTs or fumble the ball. X4

 

They aren't going to fire McD mid-season, not as long as the season is still salvageable.

 

Frankly as much as I'm a critic of the man, I think he's earned that unless the wheels come completely apart over the next few weeks. 

 

But I think the door is open for him to be fired after this season. I didn't think that would be possible even with our early struggles, but I do now.

Yup, McDermott is just saving his neck from the axe, and will lock his job up for another year.

If the new OC does great it shows McD can’t assess offensive coaching talent properly. If he does poorly, it shows McDermott is useless with regards to the offense.

Fired him after the one game Dorsey wasn’t the problem?   
 

This should be a fun offseason

what game did you watch???   How was the Offense not a huge part of the problem??   

[The Jokeman]

Sacrificial lamb.

Yep. Ken Dorsey has no excuses. But his buddy Josh Allen has some culpability in his firing. Without doubt.

 

Josh Allen is a child and needs a coach, not another buddy. Agree he is responsible for this.

Wow is right, Dorsey must have been put on notice some weeks ago to right his ship or he is gone, good move imo.

dorsey was screwed last night by mcchump benching cook.

[Johnnycage46]

Not saying he didn't deserve it, but this is classic scapegoating...McD is still here...so this team will be business as usual (which sucks!)

[Airseven]

Necessary move. But I hope Allen takes it hard.

[RyanC883]

Will Brady be in the booth now? 

 

Who will be on the sidelines with JA?  

 

 

[Chandler#81]

Wasn’t he being considered for a Head Coaching gig?

 

🤣BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

Got room in your luggage for Sean?

continue on "the process" to early playoff exits.  This stuff gets college coaches fired, NFL coaches seem to skate on it.
