I criticize McDermott like everyone else but building that locker room, while not all on him, doesn’t happen without him. Doesn’t happen without winning either, which is mostly to do with Josh, but my point is let’s give credit where credit is due. McDermott has built a locker room of guys that buy in, listen to him and respect him, play hard and play to win as a team. That’s not a bad coach we have right there.
May not be the absolute best on the white board and maybe threw a few goofy red flags and made some mistakes along the way but all in all that’s a guy that will keep us with a pretty damn high floor year in and year out. Happy to have him. He’ll keep us knocking on that door and probably get us a ring one day before Josh retires. Probably a few better coaches out there, but not that many.
