Scott7975 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Who cares? What are you going to do about it? Maybe you should write congress. They either win one or they don’t. McDermott will either eventually get fired or he won’t. Just because it hasn’t happened doesn’t mean it won’t. most of those coaches were probably fired in that time frame. Therefor it never had a chance to happen. just like it’s tough to get rid of a QB like Tua or Jackson or Dak, it’s tough to fire a coach that has the team in contention just about every year. Especially when they have practically no elite game changing stars on the roster. imagine if Reid got fired before getting Mahomes. What if they weren’t the team that got Mahomes. Would he still have a Super Bowl? Edited September 8 by Scott7975 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players get tired of the same message year in and year out if it's not producing championships. So how many teams have you been fans of who won Superbowl?

Belichick, Coughlin, and Dungy don't qualify but good find. The stat everyone always clings to is that a coach hasn't won a Super Bowl with the same QB after five years of being together. My counter to that is Josh has only been elite for four years. It took Dungy and Manning five seasons to win it after numerous heartbreaks. Maybe this is our year. Who knows.

Including Doug Peterson who was my answer to your gotcha question back then and out coached McDermott last season. Peterson is darn average. He will never win another Superbowl. That was a lightening in a bottle season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 If you put enough qualifiers on something (7 years, same team, 5 years, same QB, etc.) you can create a stat that appears to prove any point. Also, it is really hard to prove that something is impossible when it is statistically possible. As long as McD is a head coach, there is a statistical possibility of him winning a Super Bowl. Can I prove he will win a Super Bowl? No. But can anyone prove that he can't/won't win a Super Bowl? Also no. Of the 35 Super Bowl winning head coaches, 11 of them took 7+ years to win their first Super Bowl. That is 31.4% of them, or almost 1/3 of SB winning coaches took more than 7 years to win their first one. Here are the number of years it took for those 11 coaches to win the big game: 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12 14, and 21 years. Only 3 of the 11 had made a SB appearance (loss) prior to winning. So, there are 8 SB-winning head coaches who didn't even make a SB appearance until 7+ years into their head coaching career. Whether it was with another team or another QB doesn't really add much to the discussion imo because each situation is unique. For instance, did the coach start with a vet QB in the prime of his career? Or a rookie who is pro ready? Or a rookie QB who is raw? Or did he not get his franchise QB until year 2 or 3? Did the coach take over a team that was talented and on the verge of being a consistent winner? Or did the coach take over a team that was devoid of talent or needed to be gutted...a rebuild? Without the context of each situation, those qualifiers aren't really useful for comparison. The fact that 11 guys have won a SB after 7+ years of head coaching doesn't prove McD will do it, but I think it does disprove any stat that is trying to say that it is impossible for him to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
