Not Applicable Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Let's be honest...that's what McDermott is. All the coaches we've criticized never had the talent McDermott has. Put Allen on the Mike Mularkey 2004 Bills - that team possibly wins the Super Bowl. Put Allen on any Jauron teams that went 7-9 every year with Losman/Edwards - those teams make the playoffs annually. Doug Marrone's 2014 Bills that went 9-7 with a lights-out defense and Kyle Orton - that team goes deep into the playoffs. Rex Ryan took Mark Freaking Sanchez to the AFC Championship twice.

SCBills Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 It’s beyond obvious at this point. Without Josh Allen - McDermott is a culture guy whose culture unravels without winning and defensive guy, whose defenses rarely show up in big moments. 3 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 There's no way to know, but what would Jauron's record be with this roster? He went 7-9 practically every year with zero QB and a pretty pitiful roster. My guess? He would do a little worse than McDermott, maybe 10-11 wins each year but not much different. If that sounds crazy just imagine Josh Allen over Losman or trent equals 3 wins a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games does his defense have to blow? How many more stupid timeouts? How many more? This is so patently obvious to anyone who doesn't have blinders on. People make it look like McDermott inherited an expansion team. They were 7-9 the year before he took over. He won a couple more games than Rex with a creampuff schedule and that team was actually worse than the team before it by many metrics. They proceeded to blow up the roster and rebuild and then lucked into a dynamo at QB. McDermott would be back in Carolina coaching defensive backs if it wasn't for Allen.

I don't think Beane complete trades and runs drafts on his own? There will be input by others, in particular McDermott. The Bills have a defensive head coach and have predominantly focused on defense throughout his time here. A new coach would work with Beane on a new philosophy. I think the Bills can do much better than McDermott. I'm not sure if they can do much better than Beane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was probably 2020. I think after 2020 Beane started getting more control and influence because he earned it. I honestly don’t know if they keep Beane after firing McDermott. As for poorly coached, I definitely don’t agree with that. Overall throughout McDermott’s tenure they are one of the best coached teams in the league. The problem seems to come in crunch time.

Shortchaz Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I don’t have a completely fleshed out thought but it seems to me McDermott is: a rigid proceduralist; there’s only one right way to do things. Not creative or a trailblazer obsessed with being respected not with winning a bit of a hard-on he’s limited and will live in the good to pretty good range but unlikely to sniff great.

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Jauron winning 7 games with Edwards and Losman and those rosters is one of the most impressive things ever. bottom line, most defense coaches will make the same decisions as McDermott. He also deserves credit for Allen developing under him and they have built a good culture around him. But it seems like things have plateaued under him. I do also wonder how a first time head coach handles some of these personalities as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st pete gogolak Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Oh vey! Posters fondly remembering the Dick Jauron era (even a little bit)! Jauron wasn’t the worst Bills’ HC of all time but I hated him more than any of the others. Offense wasn’t good. Defense wasn’t good. Special teams were fantastic (thanks Bobby April!). Ultra conservative, good enough to eke out a few wins against bad teams and get absolutely hammered by good teams. No thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
