Tipster19 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 When you talk about character then you talk about McDermott. I believe in his intensity and focus. His commitment is second to none and I could go bible when I talk about him. Proverbs 24:10 is what comes to mind. “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” I’m not worried about this team. Have faith, we’re in good hands and we won’t fail. It’s not the end results that is rewarding, it’s the journey, it builds character and character is what sustains. Our future is bright, the road is rocky but we’re gonna get there and when we do it will be joyous. Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorp83 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 For me it's the total opposite... I favor Beane over McDermott... this guy was trying to keep us from making the playoffs last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think McDermott has issues when people are not his own and it does not cost him money. Several good coaches were let go last year when he was signed, replaced by his own picks and some of them let go after one year. He dumped the scouting department with many good scouts and then brought 3 of them back. If he was given a budget and told that he had stay within it including money paid to ex-employees let go maybe he would have taken more time to determine if this staff would work. Compare that in Indianapolis when incoming HC kept coaches signed by prospective coach who backed out with tail between his legs. For some open wallet is NOT a good thing. 4 minutes ago, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: serious note. I like McD, hard to dislike an Irishman.

It is why I changed my name from Koolaid to Limeaid - he soured me on what he was doing. We had a GOOD OL coach Aaron Kromer and assistant OL coach and a GOOD WR coach Sanjay Lal. He signed his buddy Juan Castillo and drove off OL coaches: I am convinced that most of blocking issues were due to him not Dennison. He signed coach from Eastern Carolina who convinced him to sign Jay and then let him go after a year. He brought in a new DB coach and then fired him in a year. Maybe all the one year coaches were coaches who not get along with the process or maybe McD just made quick decisions to dump coaches and then hired who was available.
