Did McDermott's seat just get a little warmer?


Simon

Recommended Posts

I think he arrived in Buffalo as a very good football coach who has continued to get better in his time here.

But Beane just handed him a roster that he HAS to win a Super Bowl with at some point.

Did that hypothetical point just get a bit closer to the present?

No, because soon his seat will be on his player’s shoulders.

 

I think it will too, but if things get Billsy again in another playoff game that ends our season.....?

It did from the 13 second debacle, his latest playoff flop.

 

He did an amazing job building culture and grinding wins defense first pounding the rock. 

 

But this is a different team,  a high scoring highly talented roster.  He may not be the coach for it. He a tractor trailer driver trying to drive an F1 race car.  This year is huge.

 

Make or break. Can't sacrifice team success because we used to suck.

That 17 year drought made some fans really impatient. 4 yrs with playoffs under McDermott, one afc championship game, and some fans think this team HAS to win a supowbowl this year. Sadly that's not how it works. There's tons of examples of great coaches/players who should've won superbowls that didn't, or it took them a long time.

No. The guy gets to the playoffs every year and wins playoff games. His seat won't warm up until he loses 2 more. And they have to be clear coaching blunders. How long did it take Andy Reid's seat to get warm in Philly?

 

Side note, once he's on the hot seat in the fans' eyes, it'll be another year or two before he's on the hot seat in the ownership's eyes.

Can you just be happy for one minute? Damn

 

It's 65 and sunny for the first time in 4 months and I just finished a gorgeous 5 mile hike with my dog.

I guarantee I'm happier than you are. :D

Right but how many didn't directly because of awful blunders? The 13 seconds is inexcusable. 

 

He has been horrible in the playoffs all 4 of the years, need growth at minimum.

Depending on how it happens, his seat could get hot. But if it is because of injuries, or something relatively out of his control, he would still be safe.
