No coach has ever made their first superbowl after being with a team for 7+ years

[TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th]

What makes us think McDermott will be the first coach to ever break this trend ? Players get tired of the same message year in and year out if it's not producing championships.

Ok

[Nelius]

Gonna need a bit more data bud, this seems ridiculous. The sample size pretty much McD and Marvin Lewis?

Andy Reid in Philly too.

also Andy Reid with Philly I think?

… and Marv Levy of course

[Low Positive]

And you chose 7 because Reid was in his 7th year in KC when he won the first one. 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

So statistically it's due to happen

 

Thank you for the betting advice

lol, this is a stat McDermott haters love. I’d love to see a new HC but I’m not using this in any future argument in favour of replacing g him.

There’s a first for everything. Maybe he won’t though. There’s no guarantee that McD is HC through Allen’s entire career. Or that Allen plays for the Bills his whole career for that matter.

Please don't think for me.

mediocre NFL HQ is bound to be replaced after 7-9 yrs. Pitt being the exception club

Yup. Let’s not get complacent with 17 love. Those two LA teams are a lot closer to Hailee. It might take true grit to stay in the north coast

You should be immediately banned for making crap up.

 

This is completely false and easily proven with 30 seconds of research.

 

Let’s start with John Madden and the Raiders.  1st Superbowl 1976 - his 8th season with Oakland.  Do you know him - got an entire video game franchise named after him.

 

How about Bill Cower?  Started in 1992 in Pittsburgh - won his first Super Bowl in 2005 - so 13 years in Pittsburgh before his first Super Bowl.  That message must have been super stale.

 

Then you have a coach like Tom Landry that won his first Super Bowl and first championship in year 12.  Not all of them were SB years, but he never won a NFL championship before the merger either.

 

So that is 3 guys that break the thread.  Then there are all of the coaches mentioned that coached for way more than 7 years on multiple teams before finding the magic to win one.

 

Is it common - No, but it has happened multiple times already in the history of the NFL.

 

🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

“Trust the process”

this indoctrination works best if there is any proof that said process works. 7-9 yrs of trusting an unproven process.

McDermott haters.... in their vivid imaginations, there is a more qualified sure-fire coach out there just waiting for a job. Waiting for the Bills job to be more specific. This unicorn coach hasn't been hired by the other 31 teams because they don't see the diamond in the rough.

 

All of the following coaches were once thought to be this magical unicorn: G Williams, M Mularkey, D Jauron, P Fewell, C Gailey, D Marrone, R Ryan. Heh... why not roll the dice again?

DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!

This is where the McDermott lovers have it wrong, we never say that there is a sure fire coach ready to hire, just that it is a possibility with a change.  We understand it might be worse, but willing to take the chance while we still have the greatest qb to ever play for the Bills. We know what we have now, and it's not good enough.
