To me, the most important question of the coach is - what is his contribution? What is it that he does that affects the game? Maybe eight or ten do something substantial - Belichick, Harbaugh, Tomlin, Reid, Payton, Carroll, McVay - McDermott is stepping into that tier. I don't know if any team in the league uses defensive timeouts as often as the Bills, but last night McDermott set up in base personnel, saw the Steelers offensive look, called TO, and brought pressure resulting in the Poyer INT. That is changing the game. People can complain as much as they want about challenge flags or use of time outs. With McDermott the Bills have a defensive mind that changes the game for the opponent every week. He is an A+ in terms of scheme and preparation and he has the ability to be the CEO of the organization and keep everyone focused. He won't win CoY this year and he doesn't need to. I hope he stays fifteen years. agree completely. What the doubters don’t understand is that to be an elite head coach it’s about being an elite CEO, which he has proven to be. The game day management (TOs, Clock, challenges, etc.) are all secondary. I don’t understand why head coaches don’t just delegate all that stuff to a “game day” coach anyway. Most of the great head coaches are not good at the game day stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 People were hard on him early. Let me ask you this: were you as good in year one of your job as you were in year ten? I’m guessing no. Lighten up and appreciate the growth of the team.......AND the staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Elite? Relax he has yet to win a playoff game and barely has an above .500 career record. We need multiple years of double digit wins and playoff wins before that word gets tossed around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 This is by far the closest the gap has been between Belichick and our coaching staff. We are no longer just going to be out coached thoroughly in these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I was not excited about this hire at all, because honestly why would I have been? This franchise has had a revolving door of mediocre-to-bad coaches since Levy or maybe Wade Phillips. But McDermott has been great. It's easy to quibble with some of his gameday decisions, but the bottom line is that in all three seasons it feels like our team finishes with a record that's about two wins better than what the roster would indicate. We had no business making the playoffs in 2017 and I still don't fully understand how last year's team scraped together six wins. This year, we methodically beat everybody we were supposed to beat with no slip ups, won our share of tough games, and have a playoff berth clinched with two weeks left to go. He and Beane very clearly have this team turned around are doing it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 No question about it. He is as good a leader as this team has had ranking right up there with Marv Levy and Lou Saban. He may have a couple soft spots that he could improve like challenges, but his ability to command respect and pull a team together is unlike anything we've seen in a long time. As a defensive leader, in particular, he has been brilliant getting the most out of his players. He doesn't care what you're getting paid or what your past accomplishments are. You put your teammates ahead of yourself or you don't play for his team. The results have exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we win a playoff game this year and we'll still have a bunch of cap space for 2020. All we need now is for Josh Allen to take his game up a couple levels so he doesn't hold us back and things could get even more interesting.

Chandemonium Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 On 12/16/2019 at 5:59 PM, sherpa said: I think his timeout to spot the offensive set is used up. It is extremely predictable now. I'm guessing it won't be long that opposing offenses will predict it and come out in some set and after the timeout, change the play, or he doesn't take the timeout, audible out of the original set into something they want to do. Last night it was extremely predictable. On 12/16/2019 at 6:11 PM, Scott7975 said: maybe he is fine with that too. Maybe he does it so they do change their set because he doesn’t like it. He actually addressed this when he was asked about it his first year here. His response was basically that they want to be in the best defense for what the offense is showing, and that if the offense changes up too at least he forced them into taking their second best option instead of their best option. I still remember that because it stuck out to me how it simultaneously made so much sense, yet was mind blowing that we actually had a coach who thought that way compared to what we were used to with the previous few coaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unless we are playing Dallas , Beasely is good for one drive killing drop,Same for Knox . This offense needs one more year and an infusion of receiver and o line upgrades and a bruising back to compliment Singletary. I truly believe Beane will get most of that done?

However, if he did for any reason, I'd be 100% content with this coaching staff and FO getting another crack at the QB position in the draft. Neil O'Donnell, Bubby Brister, Mike Tomczak, Jim Miller, Kordell Stewart, Tommy Maddox... Bill Cowher got a crack at 6 starting QB's before landing Big Ben. I prefer a head coach with the goal of building a championship TEAM over the goal of developing a franchise qb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 One of the questions asked on PFT was "Should Sean McDermott be in consideration for COY?" All of them said yes. Simms said he believes he's not getting more attention because other coaches like Shannahan and Harbaugh have also done really good things. Thinks McDermott is one of the best coaches in the league. King said right now he has Tomlin but there's still two more weeks. If the Steelers drop the last 2 games and the Bills go into Gillette and beat the Pats....he said that would put McDermott in more of the discussion. Said he has McDermott in the top 4 in the NFL right now. Florio said if the Bills can somehow win the AFC East....of course you have to put him in there. But overall just said that he should be considered already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tying record with the GOAT coach and GOAT qb might be enough. We shall see though. McD has a ***** at COY, and if he doesn’t get it I’m sure he’ll be in the running again.... which is an unusual, but wonderful feeling for a bills fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
