A team does not keep a coach that lost the locker room 9 years earlier. Do you wanna know what they've done? They could mail it every season. What did they do in 2023? Started 6-6, our coach gets a hit piece put on him by Tyler Dunne, the players literally said after beating the Chiefs to start the playoff run "we got your back coach". They reel off 5 straight and win another division title and go to the playoffs. What did they do last year after losing 2 straight and falling to 3-2? They went on to win 7 in a row, a 5th straight division title and go to the championship game. Yes, teammates can win for each other but how many times have you seen coaches lose the team and the team just falls apart and never recovers. Trust me when I tell you, McDermott up to this season, has not lost this team. They still play for him. It's why he still has a job here
