Who the hell knows, but McDermott could and SHOULD be in very hot water, as soon as next season, if the season looks a certain way. ย Then again, we COULD win the SB next YEAR! ย But to suggest McDermott is hired for life, is, I think, ridiculous. ย ย 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reasoning? its a great litmus test to assess if you are dealing with someone who can have an intelligent and coherent conversation about the state of affairs and this upcoming season. If you cant see the forest through the trees in regard to one of the most common sense, easiest conclusions that's almost written in stone..... well then I just cant take a conversation about something not so cut and dry seriously.ย Football has a large share of fans who turn on the TV every Sunday and yell at the TV to fire everyone, while not understanding the intricacies of what they are watching and thats totally fine. It sure does make having legitimate conversations difficult though. Especially when the last few years things have morphed into such a 'what have you done for me lately' type of league where people are judged by their last game rather than their season(s) and body of work as a whole. Which, is all to say, comments like that make it easy to know who to take seriously and who to not. I don't advocate becoming complacent and being scared of change when necessary, but its worrisome how quickly people forget how bad things were and what a crap show Rex and company were. Most of the time when someone is canned for not being able to get a club OVER the hump. the result is the next man in cant even get the TO the hump. Do I have day dreams of what an offensive HC could do for this club? sure.ย But they are only that - day dreams.ย This club has a good things going and McD isnt going anywhere until things fall off a cliff and probably then is given a year to climb back up. Those who think otherwise may want to reassess what they think they know, or at least keep it under their hats to avoid looking silly.ย ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
