Per Benjamin Allbright, McDermott's "seat is warm"


HappyDays

Recommended Posts

If anyone believes that I have a bridge to sell you. How would that guy have any information regarding McDermott’s coaching status? Did Beane or Pegula tell him? Very, very unlikely. All coaching staffs are evaluated at the end of the year. Click bait or whatever you wish to call it.
 

Now, I would love to see the Bills go in another direction but, unfortunately, I just don’t see that happening.

If Pegula has a real pulse of the team he will fire McD. Do it after the season or wait till they start out slow next year and do it then and wasted another year. Either way, McD has peaked. 

If firing him next season during the season is even a thought, do it this off season

 

You can't waste another season on this guy that has no idea how to win games

It should be.  I like McD.  Defended him for a long time because he is a good coach.  He just isn't a good enough coach.  I was on the fence after 13 seconds because I do blame that on him.  All coaches blow one and make mistakes though.  Even the great Andy Reid.  Before Mahomes he was often criticized over the same things.  Last year I gave McD a pass.  This year seals it for me.  He needs to go.  This team needs a reload next year and I want the new coach to build it in his vision instead of wasting yet another year of McD.

While I agree with you, there are enough scared people who say, “it can get worse”, if they miss the playoffs my answer is, “no it can’t”.

At this point, with McD being a defensive minded coach and calling the plays, we have lost all our games by one score.  
 

If he can’t win with his defense and the offense did their part, then he deserves to be fired.  
 

What argument is there to keep him?

 

1) His regular season win %*

2) Continuity**

3) Key injuries to the DEF torpedoed the season***

 

* Heavily skewed by having a top 3 QB on a rookie contract from 2020-2022

** Of devastating losses in the regular season/playoffs where his defense craps the bed

***Not a bad excuse honestly. Milano, Jones, and White are huge losses

The info Albright is getting could be from players or agents

 

I'm sure other coaches/agents have an idea of what jobs could open

It's good you won't have to worry about that because I believe Beane will largely be in charge and then they'll discuss.  If that dude is in the room, I feel a whole lot better.

If we miss the playoffs, I think he's gone.

 

To go from being a Super Bowl favorite multiple years, to firing your DC, firing your OC, and then possibly (likely) missing the playoffs this year entirely, I do think Pegula will pull the trigger. Say what you will about the Sabres but I don't believe he is as dense as a lot of people on here do.

Totally agree.  This f'ning guy has passed the blame around to so many people, including players.  He can't get it done.  Cut him loose as soon as possible.  He's also handcuffed his coordinators.  Nah, done with this guy.  Won't be a big loss.

It can't get much worse than missing the playoffs with this roster

 

Coaching is holding this team back and it's never been more apparent

Lots of Bills fans are that way.  Not the appropriate way to approach the issue.

 

If he has to go, you dump him and move forward the best you can.

 

Most of this sort of fear among Bills fans is present simply because most of our HCs in franchise history have been garbage, which is not relevant now at all.


Doesn't mean McD can't be replaced with someone better.

 

Here's an idea: Keep Beane and let HIM decide his HC...I trust Beane a hell of a lot more than Pegula.

I’m not saying we should keep McD out of some fear we won’t find someone better. 
 

If we fire McD I’d like to also fire Beane. He’s responsible for this mess too.

Sorry, but that post was definitely a scared to let McD go post

I think Beane has put a good roster together though.

 

I think their point differential this year somewhat reflects that.

 

Does he have misses? Sure like all GMs.


But when you constantly find inexplicable ways to lose, I put that way more on the coach than the GM

Yep, I just hope Pegula can separate the two. Beane is an above average GM, I would love to see him work with a bright offensive minded coach.

If Pegula fires McD, I believe he'll keep Beane who would lead the search for a new HC.  I don't think Beane gets fired.  Jmo

Smartest thing to do IS to make the move in-season.

 

See if Joe Brady can rally the troops. It's a free half season to look at him. Name him Interim HC

 

Then you can actively start recruiting coaching candidates.

Would be an even worse move. We fires Dorsey already. And you want the guy who started as QB coach to be elevated to what? HC/OC/QB coach? 

 

They will not make a move like this in season but if they did there is one guy (that I can think of offhand) on the coaching staff that has any kind of NFL HC experience and that's Aaron Kromer.

What’s his record in OT games?  They mentioned something in the broadcast that they haven’t won OT games I think that’s what I heard.

 

Allen is 0-6. McD is 1-6 with the one win coming against the Colts in 2017 (the snow game). Honestly it's a miracle we won that game after McD punted on 4th and 1 from the Colts 41 with 4 minutes left in OT.

No.

 

Beane has yet to be able to hire a Head Coach. I’ve never heard of a GM getting canned when he has ‘t even had an opportunity to hire his own guy.

My only fear with Pegula firing McDermott is if he goes too far and fires Beane with him. We don't need a whole front office change. Just a head coaching change

I would say they don't even need changes to the offensive or defensive schemes or position coaches (except for special teams). They just need different leadership. And a better defensive coordinator. How many games now has McDermott's defense lost on the final drive?
