WEATHER DOT COM Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Just now, Malazan said: I'm also confused about Dorsey. He was a massive target on this board for ruining Allen and the cheering when he was gone was immense, but now he's an offensive genius that was a scapegoat for McDermott? It can easily be both. He was not a good coach, but McDermott has not been a good coach, either. The main point the source was making was how McD never takes accountability so he predicted if things unraveled, instead of taking accountability for his own mistakes by recognizing them and growing as a coach, he would axe Dorsey. It turned out Dorsey probably should have been let go, but at the same time, the fact is McD has had gaffes this season (and in past ones) just as bad as Dorsey. History shows throughout the numerous sources cited in the article how McDermott never takes accountability for his own mistakes. He's not taking any accountability this year, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least a current assistant that will go on the record and talk about his current boss.” If you'll excuse my saying, your summation is consistent in accuracy and perception with many of your other takes on this board. That is to say, not very. Do with that as you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just happened to make it pretty easy for McD by sucking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyo321 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) This is just another leak in the McD dam that is getting ready to burst due to a catastrophic structural failure. McD is a over rated, under qualified head coach that can see that his days are numbered, and he is doing everything in his power to deflect any personal responsibility and blame for this teams 6-6 record. McD needs to just shut his damn mouth and concentrate on football. Anyone using a comparison to 9/11 and professional football needs to be treated for psychiatric problems. God knows that the he can barely speak now with out making an ass out of himself in front of the media. Everything that has ever come out of his mouth is some distorted convoluted communication that paints him more as a HC that has no clue on what he is doing on and off the field. He tries to change the narrative all the time when he is the sole person in charge as coach and DC. He is responsible for multiple coaching mistakes on the field that he has yet to acknowledge, which are costing this team wins in 2023. There is no where left for him to run or hide, or try to sidestep the outlying issues with his coaching of this team. It is squarely on the coach and the majority of OBD and the media knows this now. He has evaded 6 years of scrutiny and blame for terrible coaching in the most important games the Bills have lost in their post season appearances. He is a sickness on this team & within this organization, that has turned into a full blown cancer. He should be terminated ASAP at the end of the year, to get him out of WNY.

He said all the people quoted had positive comments about Sean but even more positive about Beane and even said that Beane probably put out more fires than most people know about because of Sean. Made references to Allen being the best thing since sliced bread and Sean was always going to hold him back. (paraphrasing). I honestly do think that the digging and info that came out wasn't true and all happened but at the same time, I also believe that Dunne has an axe to grind with McD since he doesn't give "new media" media credentials.

TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 My conspiracy theory : Pegula wants McDermott gone, but he knows firing a coach who's made 4 straight playoffs is a dangerous idea. This gives him the ability to do it without being second guessed by some in the media. Tyler Dunne is fed all of the juicy stories and the rest is history. Buffalo will instantly become the top head coaching position.
