A lot
He has turned the culture around and has the team playing hard every game, playoffs in 4 of 5 years? We have a young QB who could be the best in the league for another 10 years. These threads are tiresome, its like saying that you should be fired after a mistake at work no matter what it is because people are perfect and dont make mistakes.Its not that he makes mistakes, everyone does. I think the biggest issues are his in game management errors have not gotten consistently better over the 5 years. When game gets tight, so do his decisions and coaching especially against Andy Reid. He cost this team wins in the biggest games of past 2 years in playoff games at KC.
Im not a fan of McD, he personally just annoys the hell out of me. He is good coach, but good enough to win Super Bowl? I don’t think so at this point. He seems more Doug Collins than Phil Jackson. I don’t think he should be fired now, but some improvement in these areas better come soon.

Any chance Dorsey goes with Daboll to Miami or with Frazier to Bears as OC of those teams?

He benched robinson for a fumble and lawrence apparently confronted him mid-game about it: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/12/11/report-urban-meyer-had-heated-argument-with-marvin-jones-called-his-assistant-coaches-losers/
I of course thought of McDermott, who seems to think fumbles should never, ever happen (news flash: they do) and if they do the back has to go to the doghouse. I know a lot of coaches do this, but it’s pretty reactionary assuming the player isn’t a problem fumbler.
McD doesn’t seem to mind that Singletary has put it on ground 5 times and Josh 7 times this season.

What would make this team “tough?”

You have to be kidding me. This is your logic???? Hahahahahha.
So If Josh wants a ring your logic is he should choose the one with 0 over the one with 6?

Does Josh want a ring?
Daboll has 5 Super Bowl rings and 1 college National Championship ring, McD has none. Just saying.

They can't pass block either. Allen makes their stats look better than they really are.
That is fact also, and a BB/McD created problem.

If we don’t find a way to get some balance that’s when he will lose this thing. We need to be able to run the ball. Wether or not it’s popular, it’s right. I think McDermott realizes it. I just don’t know if Daboll is capable of executing it.
How balanced were Patriots last night? I always love how you only have to be balanced if you don’t run enough, but never if you don’t pass enough.
You don’t have to be balanced, you have to run successfully enough that teams have to at least respect it. We don’t have a single decent NFL level RB, and an Oline that can’t run block. That is on BB and McD not Daboll.

He’s got no one to blame but himself…. It’s the same line that struggled to run the ball last season. They did nothing to improve it…. Only difference this year is they are forcing a square peg into a round hole when it comes to the run game and for the most part it’s just wasted downs… specifically in the red zone where they are struggling.
That’s what I don’t get. It is largely assumed that the roster and philosophy of how this team is built comes from both BB and McD as a team. The perception was this is what they both felt was best way to build, play and win.
Yet, his actions and words as a coach scream that he wants the exact opposite. I’m just beginning to wonder if it’s not McD that doesn’t fit how this team is built and wants to play.

From the Athletic:
When asked if he felt offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was doing a good enough job, McDermott didn’t give his usual line of “We all need to be better and that starts with me.” Instead, his message was clear and his comments were subtly the biggest indicator to this point of his frustration with the offensive game plan, and by proxy, Daboll.
“Well I didn’t think, honestly, we took advantage of opportunities tonight. I really didn’t. The ball is at the 40-yard line. We’re 1-for-4 in the red zone. We’ve got to figure that part of it out.”
That was the most direct answer about Daboll, but McDermott provided subtle hints before that point. McDermott pushed back when asked if he wondered about his team’s lack of physicality not being a fit for how to win games this time of year.
“That has not been my message from day one, I can promise you that. If you were in the team meetings in training camp, you would know what style of offense I want,” he said. “That identity needs to embody toughness.”
About the red zone woes, McDermott said, “Just no rhythm. No rhythm, really, down there.” And then simplifying it all, with an allusion to the last time there was some frustration with the offensive game plan years ago, the coach said, “You’ve got to score more points. That’s the name of the game. Score more points.”
Is it possible that McD is unhappy with the make up of roster? He wants more physical lines and BB has built more finesse type lines on both side of ball?

If they are at odds than McD needs to let Daboll go. Simple as that and I am pretty sure McD knows this. You don’t get to be as successful as McD is by not learning how to manage people and situations.
This team is built as a pass/stop the pass first team. Do you think this matches McD vision and wants for a team? He was asked about this yesterday and all he said was the players know in meeting how I want things run. Ok, so what is McD identity he wants for this team?

Agree. Hes done away with everything that was great about his playcalling. His whole strategy this year is hope Josh wins the game by himself every week.
Are we should Daboll has done away with everything, or has McD now started to order in his more conservative, old school principles?
-
Hasn’t GMBB built a roster that is more aligned with Daboll then McD?
Is it possible that McD is the problem, not Daboll?
-
I agree that there seems to be some disconnect between OC and HC. GMBB built this team as a QB centric, pass/stop the pass team, but that is not who McD is. He is to his core a conservative, defensive mindset coach.
Is it possible that it is McD who disconnected from how this team was built and how they want to operate it?
Wondered if had to choose and only 1 can stay, would they pick McD or OC?
-
I have personally never said McD should or more importantly will be fired. I have said that I don’t think he will ever win a Super Bowl as head coach of the Bills. Knowing that he won’t be fired, and we have another years more of being good not great is the toughest part.

This is one of those things you should have slept on before posting. We are all frustrated but it would be incredibly dumb to throw I. The towel. The season is not even over.
Season ended when they did the 1 thing they seemed to feel the most important to do, beat the Chiefs.
-
Bottom line, is McD good enough to ever win a Super Bowl?
-
Win or lose, is watching the Bills fun?
-
While we are into accountability Singletary has had 10 fumbles in the same span, he going to ever be a healthy scratch?

Great, so you acknowledge that post game pressers and coach speak are utterly meaningless. Stop wasting my time.
If a coach literally says absolutely nothing to say at any press event, I would rather they don’t have them. McD should Quit wasting everyones time with dull, boring, nothing crap.

Its not eye opening in the least. While I like Granato's post game comments and his media transparency it doesn't say anything about his overall ability to coach the team. Kruger was lauded for his interviews and he was a disaster. People loved Rex Ryan's podium presence. Unmitigated disaster.
Sean McDermott has a track record of success in this league. To start pointing at his post game pressers as an indictment on his ability to coach this team after two bad losses is the epitome of asinine.
Go watch a Popovich or Belichick presser and tell me how they're unfit to lead.
I was responding to coach speak discussion, not coach abilities.
For coaching abilities I only need to present McD bad clock/timeout management, one of worst disciplined teams in league, no visible accountability for that lack of discipline, back to conservative fourth down decisions, and his continued insistence on signing and playing his type of “process” players even though proven that they shouldn’t be. He may not be the biggest issue with this team, but is certainly up there. I have zero faith in his coaching ability to ever win a Super Bowl for the Bills.

Dissecting coach speak is a waste of time. No coach in any professional league gives specifics. They also don't single out and rip their players or admit the obvious. Messaging is consistent and even.
Reading anything into it is asinine.
If you haven’t, go listen to Granato this morning on WGR. It was one of the best coaches interviews I’ve heard. Then compare with the nothing crap you get from McD. Really is eye opening.

MCD is 100% on the hot seat for this Thursdays game vs the Saints.
YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS BEAT LIKE YESTERDAY AND GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM AND NOT READ THE ENTIRE TEAM THE RIOT ACT!!!
NO CLAPPING ALLOWED!!!
If you don't think the players are starting to doubt them selves now, I don't know what to say or tell you.
The coaching this year has been horrendous, ALSO AN EMBARRASMENT!! Accept for just one game. KC.
Blow out wins do not count, in those games you should try different plays and personnel when a game is clearly going to be won.
This team never tries to do anything different week in and week out. Why because watching this team the last 4 weeks has shown no differences with our play calling, defensive schemes and the over all coaching on this team. The coaching is 100% stagnant.
This coaching staff is afraid of change and scared to make the tough decisions to fix the issues on offense, and at our RB position.
There are players on this team that need to be benched. Both Singletary and Moss need to be backups. Breida, if not given the #1 RB spot seals our playoff fate this year. No playoff chances at all.
If you think we are going to beat NE without changing things up on the the roster and with our coaching philosophy, be prepared for a serious reality check.
Its not going to happen!!! We will get trashed by NE and Bill B.
Jerry Hughes needs to be replaced at DE. He has lost any and all advantage he had over the opponents offense's tackles. Its been that way for more than 2 seasons now.
You have to really shake things up the next 7 games.
Ed Oliver needs to go to DE. He is more physical and honestly his speed is deceptive and he can only do better at DE, he can't be any worse than what we have now at DE.
Buffalo needs to start addressing the line backers play. They have not been able to stop the run at all. Case in point yesterday!! Hello MCD and Frazier!! How many times are our safeties and DB's called on to stop the running backs that we constantly have had issues stopping. No changes in our D scheme and it shows. Loss after loss after loss because of this unwillingness to change because of our coaching.
This is the linebackers' job. We should have never resigned Milano and we should not resign Edmunds either. Our line backing core scares no one. They can't stop the run and they are getting mauled by teams that can run the ball physically. That is Beane's fault for not identifying this and addressing the soft nature of this defense.
The only reason this team has the defensive stats it has this year is due to the caliber of the teams we beat, they were all bad teams accept for KC, Tenn and Indy.
This D is not top 10 D. Not against Titans, Not against the Colts. The level of the competition has padded our stats. Like I said we have not beaten a team with a winning record.
That means we are not a playoff team period!!!!
Think you forgot McD continued horrible time/timeout management, his regression back to his natural conservative state with 4th down decisions, and his addiction to useless hard counts and defensive timeouts.
How many chances does McDermott have left?

I’m guessing God just wanted the Chiefs to win, right McD? Last week all praise to God for win led your post game press conference. Big win, all praise to God for it. Big lose, we all need to be better. Tired of his act.
I just for once want him to take personal accountability for his specific decisions not being good enough for the team. No we all have to be better crap, and “execution.” Josh on several occasions has said his personal level of play wasn’t good enough and that he cost the team the game.
I want the same level of accountability from the Head Coach. Even more importantly I want him to learn from them and be BETTER. You know the basis for all the growth mindset things you have preached for years. The best accountability is a changed behavior, he has yet to change those.
