HOUSE Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 According to Tipico Sportsbook, McDermott’s odds are not stellar. He is listed at +3000, meaning a $100 bet would land the winner $3,000. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/11/sean-mcdermott-coach-year-odds-buffalo-bills/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 COY are usually for guys whose teams that defy the odds, overperform, come out of nowhere, etc. So even if the Bills live up to the hype this year and make it to the SB or win it I'm not sure why McD would be in the the COY conversation because they'd be doing exactly what everyone expected them to do. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) I’d agree it will be hard for him as there is talent on this team, they are expected to win. he was jobbed though in 2020.

MJS Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Everyone already expects them to make the Superbowl and views the Bills at having one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, so McDermott would have to match and exceed those expectations. The only way to really do that is to have basically a historic season stats wise and only lose like a single game. McDermott deserved that award back in 2017 and probably 2020 as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am taking McDermott because he was passed over twice. Sometimes that can be the reason he might win.

Doc Brown Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 It would take a minimum 15 win season and no coach turning their team around drastically. The latter is how Dick Jauron, Matt Nagy, Jason Garrett, and Kevin Stefanski won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Well, whoever was the coach the last 2 yrs managed to win the division & make playoffs. So his threshold is that. Anything less would likely be sub standard. Further, the team is possibly the SB favorite going into the season. There's 32 coaches & his odds are 30-1. Seems about in line.

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) It's all about wins over expectations. The Bills would have to go undefeated to significantly overperform what is expected. My money would be on new coaches having a breakout year on a team that had a bad record last season. If the Jaguars, Jets, or Bears make the playoffs, their coach will win COTY. Edited July 11, 2022 by Allen2Diggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phypon Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 The team would have to be completely decimated by illness or injuries by week 3 with a roster completely comprised of 2nd and 3rd stringers from there on out with a record of 3-7 with blowout, lopsided loses up to that point only to have it turn around and win a SB.

But I don’t think anybody thinks it is going to be easy for Buffalo and if McD makes it look easy we could win it I guess. Sweep the East again and I think it crosses off three strong contenders in Patsies, fish and the jests…. I don’t think the Bills have a super roster in any way. Just a super QB and a very good team with some depth problems…. I think we might just have the right attitude this year to go all the way and take no prisoners along the way….

Jauronimo Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 The only way he wins COY is if we go 20-0 or a nightmarish string of injuries happens and the Bills manage to make the post season despite extreme adversity.

machine gun kelly Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 It’s a judgement of the regular season so the votes are in before the playoffs start. Every comment about having to make the SB is irrelevant in that the vote is in. Week 18 is McD’s last chance to convince voters he’s COY. As I mentioned in he deserved it a helluva lot more than Stefanski in 2020. We broke out as we all know from 10-6 and knocked out of the playoffs to crazy numbers with 13-3. I’m not Sure what McD can do to make this would happen as he’s already expected with this team to be in contention for the SB. The one thing I’m guessing that could help is securing the #1 seed, and with this cast of characters he wins convincingly against some of the top teams. 19 minutes ago, The Wiz said: Not sure what the point is here.

BigAl2526 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 The fact that the Bills are the preseason favorite by many to win the Super Bowl Makes it just about impossible for him to win Coach of the Year.

I think there is still a decent chance if the Bills can do what they're supposed to and are dominant in the regular season and get the 1 seed. His best chance seemed to be two years ago when the Bills won the AFC East and he was getting all the talk for turning around the franchise. But that's still there and as long the Bills don't underperform he's got a shot at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t McD win it with a kick ass year? If this team wins 15 or 16 games in the regular season and is dominant throughout including the PO's and a SB win then you probably could argue COY for McD, but again many fans and media already have the belief this team might do just that anyway. Vrabel won COY last year despite expectations of the titans being in the PO/SB picture, but he did list after losing their best player to injury during the middle of the season (and dealing with other key injuries most of year) so this was a 'defying the odds' situation. So I guess McD could also be considered in a similar scenario if we were to get hit with the injury bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 My guess is 12-14 wins is the ceiling/floor with this group assuming injuries don't play a factor. Unless the Bills win the Super Bowl I can't see him winning it. As others have mentioned the Bills are expected to win this year. It will be hard for McDermott to win COTY.
