Do you want Sean McDermott to be the head coach of the 2024 Buffalo Bills?

[Estro]

No

 

We might do better We very well k ight do worse, but I'm ready to take the gamble. I'm ready for a change. I don't see McDermott being the coach that can get this team and offense to where we all hope

[LabattBlue]

That all out blitz on 3rd down and Denver out of FG range should be brought up at McD’s PC, and don’t let him tap dance around it. 
 

It was an all-time horrible play call by a DC. 

[BillsSbSoon]

No I don’t think so. Appreciate what he’s done but I think we’re all realizing now or should be realizing that we have gone as far as can with him. He is an upgraded Marvin Lewis. Thats OK, it happens. Now will pegula be smart enough to realize it is the question? He might give him a shot to get out of this mess. You have to remember that beane will most likely have to go too, they are a package deal. I would be shocked if McDermott were fired and beane wasn’t as well

Depends. On a lot of things. If he wants to be DC again. Firm no.

I don't want him on this team in any capacity.  Let him process rebuild somewhere else.

For the small minority that still believes McD should be the head coach here next year....I'd love to know your reason for this without citing the previous 17 years before he came here or the lucky 4th down TD by the Bengals that sent the Bills to the playoffs in 2017.

 

 

62% career winning percentage, 3 Division titles in 4 years. 4 straight double digit win seasons. Only one losing season and that was a rebuild year with a new QB, Defense has consistently been a top ten 10 unit.

I love that a majority of fans consider Beane / McDermott a package deal.  That just validates how Sean must have influenced draft picks over the years.  Besides McD was always the alpha.

For Christs sake give the guy some respect for where he has brought this team . He and his ways have brought a new stadium to WNY & i feel his leadership has helped immensely in bringing that new building for the fans & the team .

 

Things have changed since Dabol left . Could last years offense be the result of  a all Dabol Offensive scheme with Dorcey running it & this year is the real Dorcey Offense ? 

 

Kind of looks like that to me in some ways . It's been like he would find something that worked real good & not use it or any version of it again on the next opponent .

 

Each year McD & Beane for all that matters learn from the year before and with change i guess some pain must come with it . Brady was brought in because of his history & being one of the possible young up & comers so now is how time to take a hold of the chance & bust it !! 

 

But this has to stop somewhere .

My answer is no, but only if they can lock in someone who has a solid chance of being better.

Firing anyone without that, even todays, is stupid without someone better to step in.  

The BS firing today satisfies some fans blood lust, nothing more.

 

The firing had to be done.  This offense hasn't been at its potential in over a year now.  It wasn't getting better.

This is a question better asked at the end of the season. 

 

Everybody has an emotional hot head today, that's a piss poor time to be making big decisions.

Has nothing to do with emotion; McDermott has needed to go for quite a while now.  It's just that some of us see it sooner than others.

 

Hell, I said Dorsey would be fired at the end of this season at the end of LAST season...got that right too, just had the timing a bit off.

I agree with the bolded part.  But is this interim OC going to make big changes and turn the offense around?  Why fire someone mid season without a better replacement is my point.  It does nothing to help the team except but put a few dollars back in Pegulas pocket.

No team in the history of the NFL ever won a Super Bowl where its the same HC and QB together for 5 years. One of them has to go. It's not Josh Allen 

 

I think it's time that Bills Mafia hire out every billboard in Buffalo, simply with this message!

 

Shows as a fanbase that we support our Unicorn QB, and recognizes that we can't waste his prime years.

Absolutely not.

 

Too many preventable meltdowns in close games... many of them in bizarre fashion.  I have zero faith in McDermott or anyone he puts in his staff to keep things buttoned up.

 

There are also legitimate questions that he butted heads with dabol's aggressive offense and is hell bent on trying to return to 1978 football

When the interim OC looks as terrible as Dorsey, we'll know it was McDermott.

 

And that will be Pegula's cue to replace McD at year's end.

 

Not sure he is smart enough to pick up the cue, however.

This is a time and place for the poll that will skew it toward reactionary takes, but even so, it seems to be apparent that McDermott's Process has a life-cycle, and that cycle is past it's peak. He righted the ship like Lou Saban, Chuck Knox, and Marv Levy before him but is regressing from his high-water mark and showing an inexplicable tendency to coach his way into losses, not with one big mistake, but with just barely enough little mistakes to ultimately fail.

 

.500 (and one uncalled PI from 4-6) with a franchise QB and the talent on the roster, and to lose 4 of those games the way he did to the Jets, Patriots, Jaguars and now the Broncos? That's damning.

You said it perfectly. Nothing more to be added.

Sometimes, it's just time for a fresh start. It feels like the Bills and McDermott have reached that point. 

Let McD go turn around another franchise, like the Panthers. Let the Bills be re-invigorated by a new coaching staff.

It's time. It's what's best for both parties.

[NewEra]

As of right now.  No.  That could change by the end of the year. I hope that it does.

 

I’m just gonna be sick if we do fire him and Ben Johnson goes to the chargers

[Solomon Grundy]

I'd like to see the list of potential replacements before I answer this 

[Gugny]

The sooner that beady-eyed, arrogant little Jesus freak is gone, the better. 
 

He sucks. And he’s the reason the Bills suck. 
 

I hope his dick falls off tonight.

Absolutely not.

We need a killer. We need risk takers. No more culture guys. Winning is culture

[4th&long]

I’ve been saying for a while now, he has taken this team as far as he can. We are always getting out coached! 
 

This won’t be popular but I think this team can run the table and lose the rest of the games and that should be enough to get him fired! That is what I’m rooting for for the rest of the season. 
 

they only win 2 games at best anyway, might as well go all out to leave ownership no choice but to clean house.
