Team is floundering. Have only played a complete game a few times out of their 25 games. Coaching change is needed before it is too late.

They need to make an example of him and he needs to be fired from the Eagles and NFL.
This is a really terrible precedent. For one, you got a starter on the other team ejected with zero cost to the home team. Second, this guy is now a household name and will be loved in Philadelphia and his actions will be glorified. I'm sure Chickies and Petes will name a sandwich after him called the Big Dom. That's not good. Others could be looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
JAGs shouldn't and can't be going out and interacting with players like that. Especially an individual who is head of security, and is responsible from keeping civilians from doing stupid things like he just did.

I tuned out weeks ago. They stink and continue to empower terrible management
Nobody in the organization hates to lose. It's all about communication and sticking with some nonsensical plan

Agreed, it’ll take the players going into Terry to voice their concerns in order for it to happen. I’m not sure how well McD is regarded in the locker room. There was a poll a short while ago of coaches players would love to play for and he didn’t get a single vote, not that it matters a ton, but it was interesting.
Yeah, I took note of that too.
I thought there was a chance the team could have quit following the Denver game, 12 men, and the Dorsey firing. Say what you will, but they came to play vs the Jets and Eagles.
I dont think its the end of the world if McDermott stays. This ownership can and will do a lot worse.

I believe this a lot more than Florio shooting from the hip.
I think this team would have to endure a colossal melt-down in the locker room and on the field the final 5 games in order for any coaching change to be considered

Finally some good news!
So what I get out of it is.... if he gets suspended by the NFL, the Bills dont have to pay him for 2024 and can release him and be off the hook?
Sounds too 'good' to be true

That sounds like it would save money for this year (next?) but isnt clear about the rest

They need to have a terrific draft

This was probably the worst contract in the nfl. Much worse now.

Giving a 34yo pass rusher a $120M contract was an absolutely wild move.
What a disaster this signing was, all around.
It was really bad. The opportunity cost in getting a player(s) to really put this team over the hump (like a 1B receiver) has been crippling
You wonder though if they had that money, whether or not Edmunds would currently be our ILB
-
Hopefully there is some kind of conduct relief in his contract if it turns out he committed this act.
Miller seems like a well put together guy. Id be surprised if he stooped to something like this, but passion and broads will get ya.
This Miller signing has been a huge albatross for this team and has been a huge factor in holding them back from the next step.

This is not what the OP is talking about. I am sure there are a few "veterans of the game" floating around that Pegula has a relationship with and would lean on for input from time to time, off the record.
He has a lot of access to lots of famous/professional/ex-NFL people.
Who those specific individuals are, God only knows.
When things were going lousy with the Sabres a LONG time ago, he was schmoozing with Pat LaFontaine and some sort of formal gathering and that led to Terry hiring him as GM b/c he thought Patty had a good idea/plan for turning the team around, and Pegula TRUSTED Patty as the guy to "fix things". I guess that was based on....I don't know....Patty's career as a great SABRE PLAYER.
You can see why no one wants this guy to pick a new coach once McFingerpointer gets fired.
The LaFontaine move was actually his one really good decision with the Sabres. LaFontaine had Craig Patrick behind the scenes advising him, and ownership was to be completely cut off from hockey. What I hear is that Kim Pegula was constantly crossing beams with LaFontaine's duties and it resulted in a blow up after only a few months.
With all his difficulty with the Sabres, I thought for sure Pegula would have someone on staff during the Bills purchase process who would be planning and coordinating. Once the purchase was complete, the Bills would be restructured to finally join the 21st century.
Instead he was 'impressed' Russ Brandon knew his way around the building and he gave him even more authority. What a rube.

It happened a bit last year too. Jets and Minnesota come to mind.
Detroit's offense was an unstoppable force at the end too. If allen didn't hit that miracle pass to diggs, the lions were winning

If I am Pegula, I might do some of the things in the OP. I would already be conducting an extensive search for an innovative offensive-minded up-and-coming coach, enlisting the help of industry experts. I would be monitoring the current team and McDermott though. They way they are playing lately is a definite plus for McDermott staying. I would also probably have very confidential talks with Beane and Allen about coaching and the path forward.
However, Pegula has never done anything the way I would have done it. After his horrific struggles with Sabres ownership, I had figured he would have a team of people advising him through the Bills purchase and there would be a major overhaul. Instead Russ Brandon "impressed" him and he was elevated to continue running the franchise. He has resisted getting experienced help on the hockey side since day 1.
My guess is that McDermott is very safe, as long as the team doesn't quit over the next 5 games, the franchise gets embarrassed, and Pegula's hand is forced. To be honest, with Pegula's overall track record, I don't trust him to do any better than McDermott.

I think this is a great class if you are a team with a lower/middle pick. It is a deep class, but I don't see any blue chip top, cant miss QBs now that the luster has fallen off of Williams. . Actually reminds me a bit of the Darnold/Mayfield/Allen/Jackson/Rudolph/Rosen class.
I think it will come down to who gets selected into good situations, and they get insulated with good coaching and an offense that puts him in a position to succeed.

Yeah, I think it's better for the kicker to call a time out in that situation. They did him a favor

Have you seen UB basketball lately? To be fair it's year one of George Halcovage, who we hired from Villavova. He ought to be a decent coach but right now it's pretty ugly. However the women's team, under Becky Burke, is 3-1. The transfer portal is killing schools like UB. We don't have an NIL fund like other schools do. So it's harder to recruit good players, and if someone you recruited gets good, they can leave. Sure, UB can drop everything down to FCS, D2 or even D3, but how embarrassing is it for a flagship state university not to be able to compete at D1?
But with maybe double or triple the resources they can compete a bit more?
Not really clear on the economics and landscape of ncaa basketball. Football seems like a hapless landscape for Mac teams now. The Mac has essentially been turned into 1-aa now for football.
If they can churn out a basketball team who is consistently around the top 30, and maybe making a good run every now and then, and have no football, I'd take that. Could probably build a local, non-student fan base too as we don't have a pro team

I just read the article.
Makes me like and want to root for Hines. Sounds like a real hard worker and a guy who can be an asset as long as that knee allows it.
Its strange to me though that he experienced so much pain after an ACL reconstruction. Its usually not so bad unless there was a bunch of other trauma and work done not mentioned in the article. I had my ACL reconstructed, and while it sucked and it was uncomfortable, I never experienced anything close to the intense pain that he describes (and I am a wimp). I actually purposely tossed my painkillers after a few days because they were so enjoyable and I felt like I wanted them more than I needed them

Meh... Average at best
we are in agreement that RB was chronic shortcoming of the Marino teams through to when they went all in on Ricky Williams.
Did I imagine it or did they have a guy named Karim Abdul Jabbar?

Its a shame. I dont want to see anyone lose their pro sports team. These leagues are negligent for breaking hearts of people who have invested time, money, and emotion. I'm sure some pretty big A's fans are kids too and it would be tough to process.
Baseball will be right up there with horse racing and boxing in 50 years anyway.

I get why they are mad and everything...
But I think they got it right. No matter what they chose, people would complain. We probably have the best possible matchups.
I welcome the expanded playoffs.
