Both Brady and Dorsey are Carolina alumni, both were fired in Carolina, both elevated internally in Buffalo (with Brady acting). To me that's got McD's hands all over it and confirms that the time before his inevitable departure will be wasted. Only question now is how long imo.

Joe Brady never worked with McDermott in Carolina. McDermott and Beane’s tie to Carolina was the Ron Rivera regime, not Matt Rhule.

He was an English explorer who famously led an expedition to Antarctica in 1914.  The weather turned cold earlier than expected and their ship was crushed by pack ice.  They had no way to return home or call for help and lived for months on ice floes and, later, a frozen little island with no provisions.  Thanks to Shackleton's leadership, the crew survived for roughly a year before Shackleton managed to get them rescued.  The details of the story are remarkable.  Not only did Shackleton keep his crew alive in near-impossible conditions, he also kept their spirits high and maintained a harmonious atmosphere despite the fact that any reasonable person in that situation would have thought death was their probable fate.  

Wow, what a story!!  That's very impressive.  And very impressive that you know about it.

This is conjecture and completely unrelated to the original comment from McDermott.

 

Maybe it’s true(I doubt it) but how you arrived there doesn’t make sense. 

There were multiple articles and interviews with Josh on his choice to replace Daboll. Here's one.

Josh wanted Dorsey as he was comfortable with him.

They not going to fire him. He’s had 4 straight double digit win seasons. 3 division titles in 4 years. Too much success to just throw down the drain because of one bad season. He’s definitely going to get his opportunity to right the ship. Getting rid of Dorsey was the right move. Now Joe Brady will have 7 games to audition for the job. If they find success…he’ll keep the job. If not, they will hire an experienced OC. 

If I'm Terry "I" interview and hire the next OC or have an advisor do it...not McDermott. 

 

McDermott will hire someone non threatening, I want the best hire that can right Allen and the offensive side of the ball.  If he csn replace McDermott then so be it.

 

I also tell Sean, keep your damn hands off that side of the ball.  Also, hire a DC and let him run his own defense, not your big nickle.  You want to be the HC then thats your job

What what?  You think it's a coincidence that McD appointed a first time ever OC from within, with no experience or success in the league?  He wants to be able to control.  

 

We're replacing one stooge with another; not much gonna change.

 

 

He was a logical pick.  Lots of great offenses appoint the QB coach once the OC gets poached for a head coaching job.

It was a non threatening pick that Sean could tell what to do and the OC do it because it's his 1st gig.

 

See my above post, I take that away from Sean.

Back to your subject - on whom did Josh's questionable decisions leave an impression ?

Terry don’t know ***** about ball. He put McDermott in charge of all football related things. Terry just the guy with the check book. When they hired McDermott he was one leading the GM search. Sean is the one calling all the shots for the organization

I still think this is Dorsey’s burner account:

Beane is a big problem, be we can't say that about st. Beane.  

Overall I still think Beane is a descent GM, but ya IMO I think he’s a bit overrated overall.

 

I think his biggest whiffs are on the defensive line. How many wasted picks/resources.

 

And going in with Gabe as WR2.

 

O line was a problem in previous years. Its probably average now

I think the biggest problem lies in people feeling McDermott gets some lifetime pass for our drought exit.  And Beane gets a lifetime pass for selecting Josh.  But outside of these 2 actions, these 2 guys have struggled quite a bit.  Beane with several failed picks and McD with several failed coaching decisions. I still want McD gone first and give Beane one final year to turn things around with a heavy 2024 offensive draft.

I would hope everyone watching, but I’m not in control of that. I’m not a Josh hater by ANY means, but we rarely seem in synch these days. There are a lot of factors involved, many we know nothing about.

Yes he did and it hasn't worked out.  It's why he is depressed IMO.  Maybe the change will be good.

Joe Brady coached at William and Mary, which is McDermott's school, FYI.

The interconnection between schools and teams should be questioned... since results are falling off, loyalty must fall by the wayside because in the end the NFL is a results driven business. I am very concerned that McDermott is not drawing from talent but from familiar connections.

The obvious question McD should have asked himself before canning Dorsey was what is the difference between the offense in weeks 2-4 and the last few weeks. 

 

Was it Dorsey's fault or poor execution on the field of a sound game plan ? 

 

And you're right, there are likely factors both on and off the field that we'll never know about.

McDermott knows what the difference is between weeks 2-4, and the no rythm offense since then.

As some of you know, I have defended Ken Dorsey . . . and for good reason.

 

Dorsey Did Not Deserve to Get Fired

 

Yes, I know. I am a salmon swimming upstream with many of you guys and the whingers on WGR.

 

McCoach decided to throw Dorsey to the lions to deflect from his own issues (as has been his habit since arriving).

 

I have a feeling McCoach is going to be eaten by the same lions. What goes around, comes around.

The offense has been bad since like week 4 dude. It was rough a decent amount last year too. Josh looks like a worse QB than he was two years ago.

 

That’s gonna get an OC fired 10/10 times.  The advanced analytics are garbage and pumped up by late game heroics and kicking around tomato can teams.
