I'm almost positive this isn't true. I thought I saw an organizational chart showing McD and Beane at the same level, reporting up. Beane over player personnel, scouting etc and McDermott over all the coaches and players.
He's not making decisions fast? You act like he's just stalling in the pocket. He's getting rushed to make a decision (fast) far, far too often. Then you're off any rhythm and it's difficult to regain.
This is when coaching is most needed and he's abandoned.
I'm not even trying to dump on Von. He's a hall of fame player and may eventually get back to playing well. He's obviously not right. How could a coach play him in so many critical downs?
I just can't understand it.
