BuffaloRush Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Much like a presidential poll, WGR ran an "approval rating" for Sean McDermott a few days ago and surprisingly McDermott's rating was around 75%. So I'm curious to know where McDermott fans here at TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I think he’s done great for the talent that is here. He’s made some stupid calls during games but hey, he’ll learn. I think we got a good one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulles Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I think he's one of the better Rookie coaches we've had. I'm pleased with the direction this is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) I like him so far. This upcoming off season will tell us alot more though. They gutted alot of the talent from this team, I wanna see how they'll re build it Edited December 16, 2017 by Steptide 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 I think the biggest negative on McDermott is his decision to start Peterman over Tyrod. Also I guess you can get on the overall performance of his offense, especially the system Rick Dennison has put together which is largely ineffective.

Happy Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I approve so far, but this offseason and next season should tell a lot about him (and Beane). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course - but the media run approval ratings for Presidents way before their first year is complete. This is an approval rating for Week 15 in 2017. Obviously it can change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Meh. The standard run of the mill defensive minded conservative HC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I am at too, for now at least. This offense is inexcusably bad. A competent head coach should be able to get more out of this offense than he has gotten. If he can't, which is what it looks like, well then maybe he won't ever be all that successful in this league. He should be more deeply involved with the offense than he appears to be. And he should have a legit public explanation for why he can't get the production out of these players who produced a lot more last year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Considering most of us had them between three and six wins at the beginning of the year, this team's exceeded expectations given the lack of talent on this roster (WR was a joke this year). Wins at Atlanta and Kansas City were impressive. McDermott has made some rookie mistakes (not kicking the field goal before halftime against the Bucs trying to get a quick pass play out of bounds which backfired, starting Peterman against a tough Chargers defense on the road). He's built a good culture, but everything will depend on finding a franchise quarterback over the next two years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Anyone criticizing this guy is being unfair. He's a rookie coach who inherited a number of aging veterans and other assorted average leftovers and he's done pretty well under the circumstances. Unfortunately, two big blowout losses made this thread possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'm happy with the discipline he's brought to the team, the overall game preparation, and the results he's gotten out of the talent. I question some of his game-time decisions, but I'm hopeful that he'll learn as he goes. He gets a solid B in my gradebook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but this is how a rebuilding process works. Half of the current offensive personnel are not built for this coordinators offense, especially the most important piece, the QB. I think its tough to judge the offensive numbers this year. I think mcdermott has done alright considering the gutting and turnover of the roster myself.

I criticized the move and still think it was a poor decision that we were fortunate worked out. The only thing I could come up with is the Colts knew the run was coming and RB's can slip easily in the snow as we saw all game. You don't convert that 4th down and the game's over as you'd be pinned back inside your 20 against the win if you get the ball back. I would of liked to hear what was discussed on the sideline during that timeout. Somebody had to tell him that a tie probably means the end of the season. I'm hoping at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
