Man.  Talk about a good decision.  Seven years later, four straight division titles.  Playoffs six times.  

 

After all those years of failure.  

Didn't read all the replys, but many didn't like this hire at the time. He was a younger jauron they said.

Fixed it for ya :)

Writing seems kind of on the wall there for Whaley in that video, in a video that's going to be posted on the team's social media I'm guessing and shared everywhere probably even on the NFL network, the most powerful person in the organization after Ownership greets him in a long-sleeved Nike shirt surrounded by others greeting him in suits and ties.

I liked him once I heard his first press conference.  It was pretty clear he knew what he was doing.

 

Of course, his press conferences have gone downhill ever since!

This is a list of the longest tenured NFL coaches right now. McDermott's level of quality as a coach is rare.

Longest tenured NFL coaches right now. This level of quality NFL coach does not grow on trees

2017 was a pretty impressive year for coach hiring, actually. McDermott, McVay, and Shanahan.

Saw it posted somewhere that McD is now the 4th longest active tenured coach in the league, looks like that is confirmed above.

 

Also saw that McDermott is the only currently active coach hired before 2019 who HASN'T been to the Super Bowl, also confirmed above.

 

Both of those are pretty eye opening. I, for one, like him as a coach and am glad he's here. But the lack of a Super Bowl appearance at this point is tough.

I put most of our successes on getting Josh Allen and feel he is the biggest reason of our turnaround..allen makes McDermott look allot better than he is imo
