JMM Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 This is pretty obvious. McDermott will be the DC this year while he will have a big role as his understudy. The plan is he will be the DC next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 3 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Odd move. Usually this is done to protect them from leaving for a coordinator job somewhere else. I beleive the assistant HC title means Bills can block interviews for DC. He doesn't seem like a guy that would be on anyone's list for a DC job but who knows.  I don't think that's right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Don't believe McDermott calling plays on defense will be long term situation. So will be interesting to see who ends up getting promoted and gets defensive coordinator job which will most likely be in house hire.

Lots of message board tough guys who don’t know as much as they think they know.  There are things we need to do better, but this tear it down and start over stuff is crazy right now. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This promotion just goes to show you what being friends with McDermott can do for you.  Dorsey (top Offensive guy): Coached with McD in Carolina Washington (top Defensive guy after McD): Coached under McD in Carolina Al Holcomb (Senior D Asst.): Coached under McD in Carolina Mike Shula (Senior O Asst.): Coached with McD in Carolina  All the top coaches. What are the odds that those were all the best choices to get their respective jobs done, particularly collectively. LOL   Strangely, our playoff results aren't much different. Imagine that.   No nepotism or anything going on here.    1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite 4 top 60 picks, including a top 10, numerous high end FA signings, and a league high expenditure, DL continues to be a weakness of this team that needs constant addressing. Washington should have been fired a long time ago. Working for McDermott seems like a pretty sweet gig. Once you're in, you're in - Except for that safeties coach I guess.  Come on, you're not playing this properly. Clearly he was the best option out there. McD's an expert, we're not, and we can't understand things like what you just said. McD knows.   At the end of the season if it doesn't work out, we'll find someone else that's clearly the best choice. Who else haven't we plugged-n-played that coached with McD in Carolina? Whomever that is, he's next in line as the best option.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
