You do realize that only football nerds care about that, right? it’s not like anyone brings up OJs running record in 14 games, it doesn’t matter in today’s world, stop living in the past, oh and get off my Astro turf, 

FIRE SOMEBODY NOW!!!! 
 

 

 

 

 

 

🤣😆😂

 

Aren't we all football nerds? We spend our spare time posting on a message board 😂

 

And yes, I do bring up that OJ was the only 2k rushing season in a 14 game season. Barkley deserves an asterisk if he squeaks by Dickerson's record with the extra 17th game this season.

That's because BB didn't know how to operate a video camera at the time.

Is it a coincidence that every coach on that list, outside of Landry a million years ago, had either the best or second best QB in the NFL?

Have you heard of this guy, Roger Staubach, you know Captain America as he was affectionately known in the 70’s.  He and Griese were the best QB’s if the 70’s.  Sure Bradshaw had more rings, but Staubach was widely considered the best.  Chans, you and I have always gotten along so not nit picking, just to your point, they all had some of the best QB play.  I’ll easily place Allen in that category.

 

As far as the op reference,I just hope he keeps winning as the detractors keep sounding more and more ridiculous.  He has flaws, but so does all of these other great coaches.  There’s no such thing as perfection.

Unless he breaks it in 16.  

 

He may go scorched Earth this week vs Carolina.  I feel like the single game rushing record is in jeopardy this weekend.

It’s because he claps a lot!! 🤣

Sucked is a harsh term.  He already had 2 rings before Brady was even in the league.  Bill was also on his way to turning the Browns franchise around, once upon a time.

 

Of course, adding the greatest QB in history will aid in your success.

praised yet ridiculed by fans. you can post all the success he has had and it will still come down to winning in the playoffs and advancing to the sb. if he doesn't do that for some, he and all his success will go along the wayside.

 

 

 

 

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed this ride, so I don’t see it that way at all. If they NEVER win a Super Bowl, it doesn’t take away all the good times I had and the friends I’ve made along the way. JMO

I think this is a pretty jaw-dropping statistic.

I'd love to know who people think would walk through the door and be an upgrade over this...
 

 

 

 

Tom Landry doesn't count the first two years of his streak NFL teams only had to play 14 games.  Soft!

 

........Please with the counting stats that include era's with less games, people.

 

Like the BS about Saquon deserving to be MVP because he is probably going to break the single season rushing yardage record.   He isn't even on pace for more yards per game than Jamal Lewis(this season vs Lewis 2,000 yard season.......or even ypg career) let alone the distant ypg stats of Dickerson or OJ in their record seasons.

 

But in response to the question.........I appreciate what McDermott brings to the table and I think he CAN win a SB.......but maybe a lot more coaches than you think can go 11-6 with Josh Allen five straight times and get on that list.   The stat, IMO,  is more a testament to an elite QB staying healthy than anything.

 

But yes, if you cherry pick the right stat you can put McDermott in a category with 4 HC's who combined to win 12(?) Super Bowls.

As it should when he has #17. That's rightfully the expectation. Plenty of coaches could have "successful" regular seasons with that level of a QB.

While I don't think a coach achieves this feat without an elite QB, as you mentioned---I also know that just having an elite QB does not guarantee 11-win seasons. You still need a talented team around the QB and good coaching. Beane and McDermott have provided that.

 

Drew Brees: Only 7 seasons with 11+ wins in 19 years.

Aaron Rodgers: Only 7 seasons with 11+ wins in 17 years.

Dan Marino: Only 4 seasons with 11+ wins in 17 years.

John Elway: Only 6 seasons with 11+ wins in 16 years.

his record as a head coach from the pre and post Brady era including the browns was 71-94. That’s not good.

There must be many. But in the NFL you must know the one,since you're from 1973 on

[Augie]

It’s the old “Josh wins 11-13 games a year, and McD loses the rest” way of thinking. 

 

Nothing is that cut and dried, it’s always a combination of countless factors. In the end, we will probably say the ratio is similar to Brady and Belichick.  Nobody does it all on their own.

None of them were the best or the second best. IMO.

I'm afraid his name doesn't jump out to me. he may of played in the nfl in '73 but that doesn't mean I know every player from that era. unless he plays for the bills and even then I wouldn't be able to name every player on the bills in '73 other then the obvious stand out players.
