Lfod Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'm sure that another team would hire him at HC if the Bills fired him so I don't think it's that big of a deal to him if they want to fire him while he's still bringing the team to the playoffs.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 It took Andy Reid 20 years to win a SB and we only give McDermott 5? That's some lofty expectations there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Of course there will be even more pressure with Miller on board (Pun intended). That's part of the job. I think this team and its staff will respond with our best season yet. The real question is, is Dorsey a good playcaller? He should pay Chan to consult on how to set up his plays to catch defenses off guard. Hit 'em where they ain't. OK. I'm half-kidding.

Gugny Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 After the debacle vs. KC and the recent additions ... yes. His seat is warmer. And it should be. I think he'll do what he needs to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? I hope so! McDermott is going to have to get it done, at some point...or he'll be gone. If he DOES get it done, he might be here for the next 15 years.

Those last 3 plays with 13 seconds were 100% coaching. Whether you want to blame McD or other assistants, I don't care. He cannot afford another playoff brain fart. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills fans are impatient for a super bowl win and rightfully so, but sometimes its to their detriment. Addition by subtraction is not going to solve the no super bowl problem. Beane is building a roster to fit McDermotts style, changing it out bc he didn't win quick enough is a step back. And even if it isnt then how do we know we dont get another Marrone? To me the only way you subtract McDermott is for an arguably better coach that has won multiple super bowls. Who is that in the last 20 years? Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin?

Locomark Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Only if he pulls another 13 second debacle or a home run throwback type playoff loss, then they may fire him in the locker room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of playoffs...like the absence thereof for Buffalo since 1999... Yet, under McD the Bills have been in the playoffs 4 of the last 5 seasons. It took Andy Reid 7 years to reach a super bowl with the Chiefs. So, lets whine about something else... Patience of a saint.

They know their schedule is more difficult this upcoming season, and they're pre paring for it. I said in another thread that alot of coaches would be happy with what the bills defense did last year, this coaching staff is forward thinking and is why I believe they will win a superbowl at some point in the future I assure you, the moves they’re making are not because the 22-23 schedule is more difficult. These acquisitions are not the moves of forward thinkers. These are “now” moves. It’s time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some lofty expectations there. Though we don’t have 20 years. I can’t see Josh following Brady, playing into his 40s, and top QBs can be hard to come by - see our wilderness years between Kelly and Allen. The signing of Von Miller feels like the first sign of going all in on this year or maybe next. Future moves in FA and trade will determine how much we’re willing to bet the farm of following in the Rams’ footsteps, knowing we’ll have to follow it with mathematical gymnastics regarding the cap. McDermott’s seat will get warm off the back of it, but only if it’s clearly a long term coaching problem which is clearly holding us back - if we stack up a load of injuries and/or Josh regresses (though that result in pressure on Dorsey and/or Joe Brady) and/or Miller clearly isn’t the player he was so our defense isn’t as sound then he’ll be fine. If there are obvious coaching issues, bearing in mind to this day we do not know for sure whether 13 seconds was a coaching or execution blunder, then obviously the seat will get hot.

He has the best QB in the league and more troops are dropping in from the sky as we speak, thanks to Beane. I've said previously: If McDermott cannot lead us to the SB this upcoming season, I'm considering a change at HC. Nice one, Terry 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 11 hours ago, Steptide said: 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. This exactly. Since the Kansas City game ended, there have been endless posts/comments about this year being the Bills "championship window" and they absolutely MUST win the Super Bowl in 2022 or it's pretty much time to clean house. I've even some posters who claim our window already closed the day Josh Allen signed his extension (because teams only win championships while guys are on their rookie contracts). Don't forget how long it took Sean McDermott's mentor (Andy Reid) to finally win the big one. Reid was an NFL coach for 21 seasons before winning the Super Bowl. His teams with the Eagles/Chiefs had gone to the playoffs 15 times, made it to the conference championship 7 times and to the Super Bowl 3 times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Yes and anybody that thinks otherwise is in a state of denial. Allen has shown who he is. Beane has also risen to the occasion and made a somewhat out of character move to get this team over the top. It's now time for McDermott (and Frazier) to seal the deal and if he can't get him the hell out of here ASAP and find someone that will.
