Wily Dog Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: Maybe so but there is no reason for him to be behind Gruden, Lewis, Garrett and Mike McCarthy (off the top of my head). This list loves past accomplishments regardless of the coaches’ role. Is anyone impressed by Mike McCarthy?!? I don't know how McCarthy survived his first two years in G.B.. Possibly because of Ted Thompso'ns expertise in drafting . Thompson isn't there anymore , and it shows.The success of Aaron Rodgers is probably how he survived.

Mr. WEO Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Seven playoff appearances is a pretty good track record despite the futility of not advancing. Again, look at the Bengals before he arrived as the HC. I bet no one in Cincy agrees with that. Who else gets that many chances to fail at getting a talented team over the hump? It really doesn't matter what happened before Lewis anyway. He's long past the point he can be compared to the others before him. 57 minutes ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: Just my opinion, but they would have won the game in 2015 if it was Dalton and not McCarron. Dalton was on fire that year until he got injured. Maybe. But there were too many other chances. He's bottom 10 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd move him down below his brother Jay, who IMO, is keeping the Redskins somewhat respectable. I also don't think Marvin Lewis should be ranked as high as he is. This is a coach who perennially underachieves and cannot win a playoff game. ......using Tony Dungy’s team and knowing the opponent’s playbook inside out. I’m not a Gruden fan. At ALL. I’d be disappointed if he coached my team. Let him prove himself in today’s NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Bills fans shouldn't complain about this ranking. It's not realistic to have a 1 year HC ranked very highly unless the team makes a deep playoff run or something. I do agree that Gruden should be lower, but his past accolades are propping him up.

frostbitmic Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Only 12 teams made the playoffs last year ... McDermott was the coach of one of those 12 and he brought a team that hadn't made the playoffs since God was a little fella to the post season... 18th seems a bit low IMO. Of course he can drop after this season but as of now, nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 2018 NFL coach power rankings: Bill Belichick and then ... RANK 19 Sean McDermott, Bills With only a single season of head coaching, 19th is not a bad place to be for McDermott -- not with all the successful veteran head coaches in the league right now. The biggest feather in hisBills ballcap is the fact that he pushed this franchise back into meaningful January football for the first time since the Music City Miracle. Some folks think that was a miracle in and of itself. The lone blemish was the ill-fated decision to start Nate Peterman over a healthy Tyrod Taylor in Los Angeles. It almost cost Buffalo that much-coveted wild-card spot. McDermott has his work cut out for him with Taylor gone and Peterman competing with AJ McCarron and rookie Josh Allen for the starting spot.

Haha. A couple of things: 1). Jauron wasn’t as bad as a coach as people made him out to be. His roster were terrible (why is on him too). But this year was a Jauron type year. 2) McDermott certainly can grow as a head coach. Personally, I like offensive coaches because they tend to be more aggressive and you can find good DCs. But I would like to see a more aggressive McDermott this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 McDermott made too many in-game decision making mistakes last year to be regarded as a top HC. He is still a DC masquerading as a HC until he proves otherwise. I'm sure he invokes the power of Jesus as well as any of them, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
