Draconator Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 He was inducted into his Alma Mater's Hall of Fame (William and Mary). Before that, he had a special message for Freshman long snapper, Nick Levy. 15 1 1 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I think this something we should all be able to agree on. McDermott is a top notch human being. 6 1 30 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I think it’s a cool video but I don’t think he made the decision right there, coach likely told him ahead of time kid’s getting a scholarship and McDermott got to deliver the message. Cool moment, but not really a character moment for McDermott. I do think he oozes character otherwise. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Great thread, and I believe this is a very important quality in a HC. Obviously, there are more - but it's a great foundation. I think the players look up to him & respect him. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can or should ever doubt Sean's character. He's an amazing human being who still is searching to refine other areas of improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it Rex Ryan makes all the scholarship decisions at Southwestern Oklahoma State without consulting anybody else on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 So what. This isn’t personal. You don’t know him. It’s about being a football coach. He should be judged in the context of wins and losses. 1 7 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, pro football is about winning. The character aspect takes a back seat to winning. If coaches don't win their character and good guy mentality will be secondary. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I think he's a great regular season coach and a great human being. It might take an a-hole (think Gruden replacing Dungy) to get us over the top though. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he, like every other human on earth, should be judged, even in specific contexts like how good he is as an NFL head coach, based on many things. Yeah, wins and losses might be the biggest thing, but there's plenty more. And Sean in in wins and losses is very good. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Like Coach Beard says in Ted Lasso, these are professionals and wins and losses do matter and he wants to win. Nothing against McDermott as a person. He appears to be a fine communiticator and has shown that on multiple occasions. I just don't think he is good enough to win a SuperBowl.

It’s ironic you’re using a quote from Ted Lasso to highlight how wins and losses matter with the human element not being important 😂 Edited March 12, 2023 by JGMcD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
