I love the he is taking a year off line. Truth be know there are not many teams in the Nfl that's goal is to not win a Super Bowl. If their goal is to win a SB then McDermott is out of the equation, he couldn't do it with Josh Allen as his qb for 8, 9 years? There will be very little interest in McDermott as a head coach in the Nfl, outside of maybe a select few teams maybe that need a culture change (Browns, Jets, etc)
With the benefit of hindsight, he should have been. I thought he deserved another year after that at the time, but I was wrong
