If Andy Reid wanted to coach the Bills, I'd be onboard. But I tend to believe the slam dunk HC candidates are all gainfully employed already so we'd have to roll the dice on an unproven OC, DC or a college coach. Maybe they'd be great and maybe we'd waste the second half of Josh's career. Personally, I wouldn't want the risk. With 32 teams in the NFL, there's a 3% chance of any given team wins the SB. I think the McD/Josh combo elevates that to 10% or so. Nobody will ever name a trophy after McDermott but he's better than the average NFL coach. And I do believe if we give him enough shots, he'll get us a Lombardi.

Again? My reply is redundant, but so is the topic. For perspective: Super Bowl winning NFL coaches still active: McVay (8 seasons), Tomlin (18 seasons), Harbaugh (17 seasons), Carroll(18 seasons), Sirianni (4 seasons), Sean Payton (17 seasons) Andy Reid was a head coach for around 20 seasons before finally winning it. Now has 3 of past 5 Super Bowl wins. Previously Mike McCarthy had 18 seasons as head coach with a single Super Bowl win. Total seasons by these respected head coaches : (+/-)125, Total Superbowl wins: 11 It's not easy to make it to the Super Bowl, and even harder to win it. Why would anyone with a lick of sense entertain the idea of dismissing the most successful coach (winning percentage) in team history? What guarantee is there that his replacement would get there? I suspect some of the comments are from the spoiled instant gratification generation who feel entitled for their dreams and desires always being realized. Tough world. p.s. - McDermott ain't going anywhere until he decides to move on.

Ditto 100% But watch out... a lot of people on here (ahem, Thurman) try to tell you Cook is not that valuable to us. They think Benford is better and more value LOL. Without Cook, we will struggle to make the playoffs. He is that important. Just wait and see.

@Simon Are we allowed to play Hip-hawp with cussing? This new Juicy J goes hard AF, ya dig?

Coaches who started after 1970, minimum 100 games, and no conference championships, stack ranked by winning%.

So undrafted only?

Interesting... And what is your evidence that someone is paying me to talk to you?

3rd row above the dugout on the 50, I’m prepared to get cold/wet depending on the day. Also prepared to go broke…

Open borders. Purposely importing third world violent criminals. Gender affirming care for kids. Porn in school for elementary school kids. Free Palestine Hamas support. Rampant college campus antisemitism. Weaponization of government lawfare. Money printing machine inflation. Handcuff domestic energy production. Imaginary nazis everywhere. Did I miss any? A plot we've thankfully laid waste to.

Aaron Rodgers only playing in one Super Bowl is a great example of what can happen when you stick with the same coach who constantly underachieves in the playoffs and pair said coach with a front office who doesn't want to allocate top draft picks to offense because they expect the QB to pick up the slack. Who does that sound like?

No way, a Super Bowl appearance buys him another 2-3 seasons at least, no matter how we do in the Big Game.

The Bills aren't meant to draft players from Clemson. CJ Spiller Shaq Lawson Tony Steward Sammy Watkins Baylon Spector Jonathan Meeks Chris Hariston

There aren’t going to be a lot of Super Bowl winning coaches available to hire any way. Probably zero. So really, it’s “has a coach who has never won a Super Bowl with their first job, won one with a different team” and the answer is that lots have.

Yea, I think I misunderstood your point. It’s been a gaslighting issue for both parties.

Yeah, but as a 5th round pick he is overqualified.

His job security is at 99.9%. A down season? Who cares. It won't be because of him. The only way he gets fired in the next three years is if there is a change in ownership. I'd put the chance of change in majority ownership higher than McDermott being fired by the Bills. The ownership situation is uncomfortably fragile.

1. The list of QB's is for their ENTIRE career not just their first 7 years. for example, Aaron Rodgers has 1 super bowl appearance in 20 seasons. 2. Many of the head coaches were in the league when you required fewer wins to make the super bowl. Now with teams generally having 3 games to make the super bowl, it is both a) harder to make and b) easier to gather wins

I read somewhere that Keonte Jenkins was running ahead of Ulofoshio with the LBs. With Spector out I would say him assuming Shaq Thompson is too name brand for this exercise.

I saw a lot i liked from Jackson hawes

It's not happening. He isn't going anywhere. But this just isn't correct. Allen is getting us to the playoffs every year with basic levels of competency. Which is what we have already been doing. We would need to be Cincinnati incompetent to not be a perennial playoff team in the AFC East with an MVP QB. Heck, they almost made the playoffs last year with a historically bad defense. NFL is a QB league and Allen pulls even more weight for his team than the other top players.

Cant say you're wrong about Terry's hiring skills but if you're constantly falling short you have nothing to lose. Guys would be lining up for this job if McDermott got canned. It would be pretty hard to screw that up. Not impossible but pretty darn difficult.

He is a good culture guy, but sorry, he consistently coaches tight in big games and turtles. Too many times, he's had an A/B decision and picked "A" when the answer should've clearly been "B." Also, he coaches not too lose, which doesn't win Super Bowls. The second half of the Baltimore game last year was a perfect example of that, and barring a couple of gaffes by Mark Andrews, the Bills lose that game because he was too afraid to put a team away. That thinking creeps into the roster too, which is the reason his squads, especially on defense, have no edge or bite.

Did Wande Owens show anything in training camp? I can't say I've seen his name mentioned anywhere since camp started. He would have gotten my pre-camp vote, and I guess I'll let it ride because I don't know much about how any other UDFA/invitees performed.

Yeah - that run they had, while we were in our drought, is still pretty fresh for me. Their fans keep the hate alive w/ their persistent arrogance & sense of entitlement. Even when the Pats are bad, as they have been, that's a game that I always have great interest in.

By next off season 15 million a year will likely be considered a bargain for an elite back like Cook. If the Bills can lock him up for something like 12-13, 14 and 15 for a three year deal it will go down as one of the best moves Beane had made, securing the services of a game changing back, the fastest, most elusive weapon on the best offense in the NFL last year. And by anyone's standards, a seminal reason they were that good. On the other hand, letting Cook walk, as if it is a fantasy football game, eliminating the best offensive weapon Josh Allen has at his disposal, would go down as maybe the worst move Beane has ever made, making the Von Miller signing look like child's play. Andy Reid and others would be foaming at the mouth to get a player like Cook, someone who runs with speed and power and who can take it to the house on any play.
