The exact quote I was given is "Mcdermott is more likely to die in his office than be fired"

 

I don't think McDermott is in danger of being fired anytime soon but if he wants to coach the Bills as long as Tom Landry coached the Cowboys (29 seasons, 1960-88) then he better win a Super Bowl or multiple Super Bowls like Landry did. His defense has continually **** the bed in playoffs and Terry's patience will eventually run out if that doesn't change.

I was talking about replacing McDermott, if we don't make the Super Bowl this year. Sooner or later we got to ***** or get off the pot with Sean; had we fired him after 13 seconds and hired Daboll on the spot, I think we still win the division every year and beat the 7 seed in the playoffs.

Talk about moving the goalposts...

It’s not zero. It’s low but not zero. At some point we win a championship or Terry makes a move.

It may not be a firing... but an agreement... I get Terry loves McD... but no one and i mean no one loved a coach more than Ralph loved Levy...  they were legitimately kindred... and Levy "Stepped down"....  so yes there is a point that its time... that said... no where soon with McD...

Hell, he may have been 80 lol... or damn close... but the point is that love of a coach is great... but at some point its time... no matter what... for McD.. I dont see that time anywhere soon

Wait.  Are we keeping the current goalposts and just moving them to the new stadium as a cost saving measure. 
 

Ralph is cheap

The fans should carry them across the street and lay them at the 50 yard line of the new stadium (or at least in front of the gate) after we win the AFC Championship

I wish he didn't own the Sabres because his absolute failure at hiring GM's and head coaches makes him think at least I've got a good floor with McDermott and Beane.

If Terry were to clean house, then I don't trust him either get the next FO hires right. But if he fired McDermott only then it would be Beane leading the search for the next HC. Beane has never had an opportunity to do that as McDermott was here first.

What do you think it would take for Pegula to fire McDermott and not Beane?

If he thinks Beane has done a good job with the roster, but McDermott isn't getting the most out of the roster then that would probably do it. Same would apply to Beane as well. I don't think either one of them is getting fired anytime soon.

That's fair but I think it would take at least two losing seasons (or one abhorrent) for Pegula to ever consider making that move imo.  Pegula growing up a Steelers fan where they've had like three head coaches since the fall of the Roman Empire makes me think he'd be extremely hesitant to fire  McDermott.  Also, he just had Adams hire Ruff and that's not going so well right now.

It seems like a good plan to have a solid one year option, who actually played not bad last year, and Winston as a capable backup.  They still have the #3 pick so they can still have their QB of the future, and be groomed for a year.

 

It’s a fair plan considering the QB selection in the draft coupled with an ok year (winning 7-9 games) could save these two.  They get crushed again and they are gone.  I like these two guys, and don’t want to see them get fired.

Watching these terrible teams sign these terrible retread quarterbacks is actually depressing as hell to watch.

No Should they. They have won their division 5 years in a row (made the playoffs in 6 consecutive seasons), been to two AFC championship games, and won a playoff game in the last 5 seasons.

 

McDermott would be unemployed for about 10 mins if they let him go. Beane too. Fans wanting to move on are crazy given how Pegulas hirings have gone in the hockey department...

I remember being bummed out when Josh McCown signed with Cleveland (or the Jets can't remember). 

 

Thank goodness for 17

Hiring decisions for a last-place team differ from those for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Retain individuals you believe are the best, not simply because Arizona might hire them.
