Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 27 Posted February 27 I was an econ major in college. The answer is either it goes up, goes down, or in most cases it depends. In this case it depends. If he gets to the SuperBowl and his defense collapses again, there is a 13 second repeat, or he botches the game management then I would fire him and hire Belichick the next day. If they just lose and it is not coaching related, then he comes back for 2025. The Tony Dungy parallels with this guy are just so disheartening. It will take Allen willing this team to a playoff run and SuperBowl championship to overcome McDermott. Then McDermott can thank his God like Dungy did even though we all know this team is all about our savior Josh Allen! Quote

T master Posted February 27 Posted February 27 There is nothing that the man could do to make these Arm chair QB's & Head coaches consider him a winner . Like others if he came over gave them a bar of gold they would complain it isn't shiny enough, if he washed their car they would tell him how many spots he missed, And if he gave them a beer it wouldn't be cold enough . But when he does win a Super Bowl i'm going to write a post in all caps that tells them all to go P**S up a rope while having a video of Toby Keith's song How Do You Like Me Now !! GO BILLS !!!!!

The Bills either beat the Chiefs in a nail biter or somehow escape the bracket without having to face them. They win the AFCCG against the Texans or Ravens or whoever. Then we get to the big one. It’s versus the Eagles or the Cowboys (lol). And it’s a competitive game. A couple plays don’t go our way (defensively, turnovers whatever) and we lose. Do we still think Sean McDermott is a loser wasting our golden boys’ prime? Or is he still a good, but unlucky, coach? I'll put this in terms that anyone can understand. McDermott should achieve, at least once, what Bill Belichick and Andy Reid have done multiple times: a Super Bowl victory. If he doesn't, he's no better than any other coach the Bills have had. Right now, to me, he's the Marvin Lewis of Marty Schottenheimers, until complete post season success is achieved. A bit harsh of me? Yep. Quote

McDermott wins one; many detractors will say it was luck. He wins two it will be "Josh won in spite of him being the coach". He wins 3 and it'll be some other reasoning. People get way too dug into their opinions. Disagree. Winning cures all. If the Bills finally win it, then that will set off an epic celebration all around WNY and McDermott would instantly become the greatest HC in Bills history. Quote

KeLLy1278 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 My opinion of him would improve because he would hypothetically manage to get further in the playoffs. It would be a bitter sweet accomplishment like the other Super Bowl appearances. 1 Quote
TheFunPolice Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Doug Pederson and Nick Foles won a Super Bowl together, and it was over Belichick and Brady. It's not crazy at all to think McDermott and Allen can win once, especially since it can't be against KC. Lions? 49ers? Eagles? Cowboys? Rams? I'm not scared. Edited February 27 by TheFunPolice Quote

Getting past the Chiefs and Bengals now that Burrow is back won't be easy. 1 Quote
TheWeatherMan Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Only chance we have of making it to the SB under McD is if Burrows and Mahomes both sustain season ending injuries in the same season. Quote

Blackbeard Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Is everyone else getting a free pass then if we make a SB and lose? What about personnel and their performance? Injuries? McD isn't out there catching balls and blocking defenders. He's not a magical witch doctor either, mending ACL's with the stroke of his magic wand. Quote
Yawning Frog Posted February 27 Posted February 27 no because i don't hold a negative view of mcd anyway. Quote
Trev Posted February 28 Posted February 28 We have zero faith McD will even take us to the Super Bowl. Quote
ControllerOfPlanetX Posted February 28 Posted February 28 My opinion on McDermott changes week to week depending upon whether we win or lose. Quote

Do we still think Sean McDermott is a loser wasting our golden boys’ prime? Or is he still a good, but unlucky, coach? Come on now! We all know perfectly well it won't change for that group, a very small minority that for some reason is greatly exaggerated in its size, even when the Bills WIN the Super Bowl. For most of them, it isn't about logic or facts, but just irrational emotion, hatred. In fact, they will likely hate McDermott, a born winner, even more at that point. In fact, if the Bills win two Super Bowls in a row, and then go 10-7 and miss the playoffs the following year, we all know, almost a certainty, that they would be calling for his head.
