Rubes Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Anthony Lynn hire was stupid from the start. He had no experience. He went from a running backs coach to an interim coach for part of the year, to head coach. I always thought he would fail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 21 minutes ago, MJS said: 2017 was a pretty impressive year for coach hiring, actually. McDermott, McVay, and Shanahan. Found an old NFL article ranking them.... 1.) Anthony Lynn 2.) Sean McVay 3.) Vance Joseph 4.) Kyle Shanahan 5.) Doug Marrone 6.) Sean McDermott - It's unfair to rank McDermott this low, but someone has to bring up the rear. McDermott is well respected throughout the NFL, but he has the fewest tangible assets and perhaps the most difficult job of the new coaches. The Bills have high expectations and a flawed roster. The organization also has an entrenched GM in Doug Whaley who hasn't shown a great aptitude for finding talent. McDermott made his name as a defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers under a defensive-minded head coach in Ron Rivera, so it's difficult to tease out what his impact was. The Panthers' defense wasn't exactly a shutdown unit in his tenure, despite being well-coached. McDermott has been a defensive coordinator the last eight seasons between his time in Philadelphia and Carolina. Those defenses ranked in the top 10 in points allowed twice. McDermott's offensive coordinator will be former Broncos OC Rick Dennison, a coach who was attached at the hip to Gary Kubiak for most of the last two decades. The Bills will likely be breaking in a new quarterback, one of many challenges for Dennison in the role. Perhaps McDermott and Dennison are NFL lifers who just needed this chance to show their value. They will have to be exceptional to excel in Buffalo, where they face an uphill task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty won 3 straight division titles and made the playoffs four years in a row out of five as the Browns head coach and made the playoffs 7 out of 10 seasons with the Chiefs (who obviously were 2nd in the division to the Elway-led Broncos most years) and he didn't have a QB anywhere near like Josh Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI Marty is a really bad comparison… he has a post season record of 5-13 over the span of 18 seasons. Sean McDermott is 4-5 in 6 seasons. So many McDermott will be on par with Marty is he never wins another post season game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The one thing I give Sean credit for even in dark times he’s never lost the lockerroom. The way the team rallied around him after that hitpiece article came out was something you don’t see too often especially with something as sensitive as 9-11. Man Tomlin likely Reid Likely Harbaugh likely Shannahan To win a Super Bowl not too hard a task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Interesting seeing Whaley in there and was that Russ Brandon in the background? Neat seeing the arrival and now knowing what he’s done for this team. I gotta say I was pretty hard on him before the winning streak and will eat a big bag of crow. Glad he’s our coach!
