Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 If you had to pick one key for Sean McDermott’s growth, it’s he stepped aside from the 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense, and now it’s straight passing and going for it on 4th downs. He has evolved on offense tremendously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 McDermott was more responsible for tonight's win than anybody else on the team. Last year he wrote the book on how to defend Lamar Jackson; tonight he perfected it. I hope next year he hires an experienced OC because that is really all this coaching staff is missing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Chargers hiring him is already a done deal, they're just waiting for him to be available. If McDermott wants to hire internally for DC that's fine, the defense is his show anyways. For the offense I would much prefer someone with experience calling plays. Imagine if we got Pederson or O'Brien or even Lynn. We'd have an elite coaching staff.

He has never coordinated an offense and his playcalling experience was for a run heavy team. We won't need to hire a DC. Leslie will still be here IMO.

In this case, though, I feel like we'll just be a solid playoff team for the next many years, but not elite enough to win it all. One of the things that bothered me about this post right from the beginning hat nothing to do with whether McD was a great, good, or even a poor coach. What bothered me was the list of "elite coaches" Kyle Shanahan??? He's had one winning season, other three seasons he's finished in 4th, 3rd, 4th place Think the OP has confused his success as an OC with HC success. Mike Tomlin Personally I've never been all that impressed with him won a SB in his second season likely with much of Cowlers roster, lost another in his 4th season and made it to one other conference championship game. Even with a franchise QB all those seasons, often struggled, last season with Big Ben out he finished 8-8. Once Ben retires unless the Steelers get lucky and somehow find a comparable replacement, I'll be shocked if within 3 seasons he's not fired due to a losing record. Seem to recall him making some dumb moves in games too over the years. Maybe his problem is simply being in the same place too long and has gone stale. Even Sean Peyton, like to see how he does without Drew Brees before calling him truly elite. On the other hand the Detroit Lions even with a very good to elite QB, no coach has been able to win there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 McD elevated this year over last. Last year he was overly conservative. This year he allowed us to be more aggressive on offense. I won’t call him elite until we see what happens when he has to make tough decisions in the next 2 games. YES I SAID 2 GAMES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 McD the past 4 years has proven he was a good if not very good regular season coach. 2017 - He overachieves with a team that most likely was a 6-7 win team. Lucks into the playoffs but proves his process and game style works. 2018- He somehow gets 6 wins out of a team boasting a bad ST unit and the second worst offense in the league. 2019- 10 wins (could have been 11 if they didn't rest week 17) and development for Josh. Cements himself as not being a one hit wonder and gets a young team some playoff experience. 2020- 13 wins and a division title and one hail Murray away from a 14th win. Excellent season where the team had some issues early but turned it into full gear the second half of the year. But the questions coming out of the 2020 regular season was can McD win in the playoffs? He won against Indy in a squeaker but he still needed to prove that he can win consistently against elite competition. Against the Ravens his team proved that. Now we can see where this team and Josh stands against elite competition next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
