    Damn this is prophetic:

     

    Those who’ve worked with the head coach on a day-to-day basis predicted all of this — months in advance — because they’ve seen how McDermott operates on a day-to-day basis. How tangibly nervous he gets in close games. How he has never truly appreciated his gift from the football gods: Josh Allen. How he’s quick to blame everyone but himself in defeat. That’s why one coach — in June — began by asking a simple question: “If they fail again this year? What does ownership do with Sean?”

     

    Three seconds later, he answered his own hypothetical.

     

    “Next year if they fail, you know who’ll be the first person he serves up? Ken Dorsey.”

     

    The coach wasn’t quite sure how McDermott would manage to put Dorsey’s head on a stick. After all, it’s the head coach’s beloved defense that has melted in four straight postseason losses. The honeymoon period with fans ended a long time ago — pointing a finger at his breadwinning quarterback, again, surely wouldn’t work. Yet even back in June, this assistant knew his old boss would find a way to deflect blame.

     

    “Watch,” he said, “if they sputter at all during this year, the narrative’s going to be the offense.”

     

    it has been the offense, the defense plays great until McDermott plays them soft on third and long .

     

    thats my problem with McDermott is his yipps in crunch time.

     

    all this crap about his character is nonsense, you can tell hes a quality man and most of his players and coaches would agree.
