What a Tuel

It's exactly this. I also feel like he could do a better analysis by going through the fired head coaches after 7+ years and find out why they were fired. I mean John Fox was fired after 9 years in Carolina and made a Super Bowl but missed the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years he was there. Subsequently took Denver to a Super Bowl shortly after with Peyton Manning. Lovie Smith was fired after 9 years in Chicago and while he did take them to one Super Bowl, his last 5 out of 6 years he missed the playoffs. Jeff Fischer spent 17 years in Tennessee and did make one Super Bowl but his last 5 out of 7 years he missed the playoffs. Until McDermott has us consistently missing the playoffs, he is safe whether history shows you other coaches never made it happen after 5, 10, 15 or 20 years or not. He has to do something on his own to blow his job. The proof is your posting history. I bet the McDermott rhetoric existed in years 4, 5, 6 when your model doesn't reflect poorly on him.

Yeah agree, somehow Belichick slipped my notice, I must have subconsciously refused to pull his wiki up 😂

Accounting for team moves, it appears that coaches that coached anytime between 1980 and now, there are about 30 that have won a championship and it appears as though roughly 10 HC or 33% of them have won their first Super Bowl in their 7th+ year as a head coach. It decreases if you narrow it to having to have 7+ years on the same team but that opens up all kinds of questions. Was it the HC or was it the team? Front Office? Owner? Andy Reid, Pete Carroll, Bruce Arians, Gary Kubiak, Tom Coughlin are all recent examples of HC that moved to another team and won a Super Bowl. One could argue that their previous teams (obviosuly not NE and Pete Carroll) made a mistake giving up on them or not addressing the real issue.

Why is "Super Bowl appearance" the threshold and why would it not just move to "Super Bowl win" if we make it there and lose? Also we are really saying we have a statistically significant better chance of McDermott winning in year 6 vs year 7? Explain that? How does previous coach history on a different team and period affect the here and now? There are a lot of coaches that didn't win for a long time and never won a Super Bowl, but won one later on the same or different team. There are a lot of coaches that won a super bowl in their first few years and never made it back again. I bet the Chiefs front office were glad they didnt have Einstein in their ears for Year 7 of the Andy Reid HC gig. They had very little chance to make the super bowl according to this bc it proves he is just not capable of it bc other coaches didnt?

I did not know it was an old logo but even the standing buffalo is much more crisp. If they wanted it to be a throwback to their old logo then fine then. It just looks like an amateur freehand drawing of a lion.

Once again here we are. No one is saying Super Bowl isn't the goal. The difference in opinion is that we think McDermott and Beane are putting us in a position to achieve that goal. You think that McDermott is a detriment to that goal - that we cannot win it with him because he is not capable of it.

Ok bud.....

I have no idea what you are talking about man. I just said Pegula would not extend both Beane or McDermott if the thought even existed in their mind that they were on the hotseat this year as so many of YOU claim they are.

lmao the random rationalization because it cant be they are happy with McDermott and Beane's progress of putting us in the position to finally win it all. Its gotta be x y z instead.

The quotes were literally quoting you, the people who say that. Otherwise I would not have put it in quotes.

I'd say the demeanor of the rest of the team upsets me more. They looked beaten and mentally checked out.

My strong suit in argument is to critique your "evidence" of qualified anti McDermott sentiment being based on PFT comment sections. Yes, I'd say thats a fairly strong argument that your opinions on McDermott are baseless and unsupported.

Is it excusable when you are 1-4 between 2015 and 2018 after not getting it done in Philly? I love the argument that Reid needed a QB during those years, but McDermott would "do nothing" without Allen 😂

You don't extend someone that is on a "prove it" year as soooooo many people claimed.

Oops Pegula didn't get the memo that this year is the last straw!

Because a made up lie travels about 10,000 times faster and to millions more people than the truth can follow. I think there has been studies done that when a blatant lie or speculation is started it reaches far more people than the retraction or correction ever will. It probably has something to do with the lie or speculation being more inflammatory than the truth.

I think it is quite overblown and that Diggs has consistently proven when it comes to game time he plays. This is honestly the fanbase just looking for conflict and it is spurred on by the media who knows fans even outside of the Bills fandom will eat it up.

You are taking comment sections of articles as a legitimate take of knowledgeable fans commenting their unbias opinions which are representative of a general consensus regarding McDermott? Come on man.

I heard a report that the Bills are privately open to trading Josh Allen. I can't wait to be quoted by the media in two days. 😂 As seen with the stupid "Diggs isn't happy that we didn't get Hopkins report", one part of the media says it and then the rest of the sports media latch on citing the single report with no basis. It doesn't have to be true. It is content that gets them clicks in one of the most content sparse times of the football year.

Lol

Sounds good. You have an anti McDermott agenda. Let's just leave it at that.

Who is missing from that list that has won a super bowl in the 21st century? You want to go back to the 90s for our HC bc they won a super bowl 25-30 years ago? Lets get Levy in here! Oh wait he didn't win so according to PBF81 he's no good I guess. Mike Shanahan?

They also bumped the Fish and Ravens up and Bills down between May 2nd and June 20th. Baltimore I can see movement on bc the Lamar situation cleared up (although I dont agree with #2), but why swap Miami and Buffalo in those 7 weeks?

Last years Power Rankings from WGR 550, I bet someone was a little upset that putting the Bills at one kind of made them look like a homer since we didn't win it all and then overcompensated. How you can put the Ravens from 6 to 2 after last year makes no sense. Broncos are up there bc of Russell Wilson, just like Jets are up there this year because of Rodgers 😂.

So your sole criteria in a HC is a super bowl winning HC? lmao. Because no matter what you always fall back to "he hasn't won the big one". So here are your choices from past 20 years: Andy Reid (Chiefs HC) Sean McVay (Rams HC) Bruce Arians (Bucs weird GM role) Bill Belichick (Pats HC) Gary Kubiak (Coaching in Europe) Pete Carroll (Seahawks HC) John Harbaugh (Ravens HC) Tom Coughlin (Retired) Mike McCarthy (Cowboys HC) Sean Payton (Broncos HC) Mike Tomlin (Steelers HC) Tony Dungy (Retired) Bill Cowher (Retired) Jon Gruden (Blacklisted) Brian Billick (Arizona State Advisor) Dick Vermeil (Retired) Congrats Brian Billick. You are the sole survivor of PBF81's criteria for HC for the Bills and we'd like to take you over Sean McDermott because you have PROVEN you can win a super bowl. 😂 Oh wait we could have had Sean Payton. The guy that made the playoffs 60% of the time with Drew Brees at QB for 15+ years. But at least he showed he can win a Super Bowl 15 years ago!
