Is Sean McDermott our version of Doug Collins?
EasternOHBillsFan replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Do you not see all of the very successful hires out there like Doug Pederson, Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay? Where did they come from, the ether? If you do a proper job at vetting candidates, and with some luck, you could get a HC like one of them... to not to even try and continue to accept Marty Schottenheimer-like coaching is UNACCEPTABLE. -

Mike Mularkey is a chump. Dick Jauron is a chump. Sean McDermott's record says ANYTHING but chump... ridiculous -

Look, it doesn't take a guru or an expert to see that this year is a make or break year for McDermott... he now has full control over the defense and has all the weapons he needs on both sides of the ball to win a championship. Remember that head coaches like Don Shula, Tony Dungy and Andy Reid were all fired for lack of performance and their former teams all won the Super Bowl. Coaches like Marty Schottenheimer and Marvin Lewis both won a ridiculous amount of games but failed to deliver with the talent that they had. This year must be at least a Super Bowl appearance kind of a year, and if you don't believe that this is a make or break year for him then your standards aren't acceptable. I have been through decades of many losing miserable seasons and ohh boy I remember the pain but in this case I feel McD may be wasting our window and I hope he proves me wrong. -
How do you KNOW that Stefon didn't already have those serious conversations with Josh, and he didn't change his behavior? You have no idea. I had been in a senior leadership position leading young people in the military for years, having to do the delicate balance and delving into some serious subjects. I know what the difference is between a closed door conversation and a public rebuke. A public rebuke is rare, but sometimes you have to go to extremes to do what you can.

Sometimes leadership involves a shock, and ***IF*** some of these rumors are true regarding Josh, he did the right thing here. Unorthodox moves can lead to a reset which makes the team even stronger, or it could fail- a risk, but if it's true then something had to happen. We don't know the full story, so until we do get more information, you really can't say if he was right or wrong.

The Allen-Diggs Relationship in Decline?
EasternOHBillsFan replied to hondo in seattle's topic in The Stadium Wall
That's because each one of them (Graham, Sully and Wawrow) are fatally flawed in the eyes of most of Bills Mafia. -
For me, I have always been in a battle over this... having Aspergers is sometimes a cruel thing because I can sometimes say stupid things and sound like a know-it-all and then turn around and try to rectify it because the filter doesn't always work. I have always envied those people you mention because they don't have the same sort of problems and they can work solving complex problems without the emotional baggage that I have to bear. Those people are the true inspiration for those of above average intelligence or greater, that's for sure.

I am following you and your logical approach makes sense, but Stefon has done this before in Minnesota and it never was resolved and only through a trade. That's my major concern in all of this... does he do this after the magic begins to fade at every stop, or is it different? I'm taking the wait and see approach.
-
The problem with this thinking is that you have no idea what was said and how everything went down. You already have a tense situation by McDermott letting Chad Hall go to the Jaguars, then Stefon's brother is involved possibly in an assault, and then whatever happened this morning blew up. It's not a normal situation, but you are treating it like one.

The Texans went through this with Watson with respect to perception... you can't ignore a coaching consult with Diggs and take a coaching consult with Allen... players will see that as racial and that's pretty serious. That sort of perceived double standard can rip a team apart, so let's just see what develops.
