This is where I'm at right now. At that point you start to look at a stacked roster that can't even come close to winning a Super Bowl and ask yourself if he's the right coach.
McDermott's teams have shown the same tendencies, and he actually lost to Bill O'Brien in the playoffs.
Shanahan has taken JimmyG to the Super Bowl and an NFCCG, that's got to count for something
IMO there are clearly 5-7 coaches who are above McDermott- the three aforementioned, Tomlin/McVay/Shanahan, then any combination of Vrabel/McDermott/Reich you prefer
The courts exist to dispense enforceable restitution. The court of public opinion exists for randoms to weigh in on matters legal and otherwise. They're not remotely comparable is the actual point.
I have to imagine this team is at the point where they'd take talent over questionable attitude...I mean they just brought Phillips back.
Having a squad that likes each other and locker room vibes are cool but winning a Super Bowl is better.
