I’m guessing that he’s back next year, which will be year 7. 
 

I'm fairness, he had tuhrod and rookie josh for two of those years.

 

Still want him gone but let's be precise

Two general questions.

 

1. Is there any first time NFL head coach in history who went to their first SuperBowl after 7 seasons with their first team?

 

I know Cowher both won and lost with Pittsburg, but Cowher lost a SuperBowl within his first 4-5 years as a head coach and then won one.  McDermott is the longest current tenured coach along with Shanahan that has not won a title with their current team.

 

2. The posts about Harbaugh, Slownik, Johnson, or Bieniemy being Coach are interesting.

 

Serious Question: is there a coach out there who you really believe would be available, interested, and capable of taking the Bills to the SuperBowl in the next 3 years?

 

I ask because I don't see Reid or Tomlin coming here. Sean Payton is new in Denver and also no coach has won a title with two different teams, so McVay and Bellicheat would be out with that historical stat in mind.

 

Is there a veteran coach out there who would be an upgrade? Otherwise, its McDermott or the less proven.

 

Curious about insights.

Well Lombardi won the first Super Bowl. So your post is meaningless.  Lombardi won NFL championships prior 

Definitely meaningless but I was just answering the question.

Proof of bad HC is Bills loss margin of error nearly always 1 score. That is on the HC.

This is a “stat” that I simply can’t shake. 
HC and coaching easily swings equally talented 53 teams by 1 score losses. 

[Since1981]

Is there anyone on this board that would take our HC and 53 against the same 53 under belecheat Reid Peyton Harbaugh? I’m not taking that bet.

 

I hope Brady proves us all wrong and McDork is just a slow learner.

Vince Lombardi did it after 7 seasons with the same team, and had already won THREE NFL Championships prior to that.

Chuck won his 1st Super Bowl in his 6th season.  Won another the next season in year 7.

Noll won it in his 6th season. It took Madden 8 seasons.
