kota Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 just saw that Ron Rivera is interested in coaching still and how he missed coaching on a granular level when he took over for Jack Del Rio who was fired mid season. He also stated he has a few opportunities available. I think this is a bit interesting. 5 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used injuries as his excuse last season. At some point it is what it is. It would be 4 years of losses, 2 years with no improvement. This is the biggest game of his career so far. It would also depend on how we lost. We’d be getting into Marvin Lewis territory. Don’t blow it!

Doc Brown Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 McD should keep the play calling duties. It's been elite level despite a comical amount of injuries. 54 minutes ago, Governor said: McD isn’t really safe yet. He has to beat KC at home or all hell is gonna break loose. Unless he publicly endorses Hamas or something, he's as safe as any coach in the league. 7 7 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 18 hours ago, Governor said: McD isn’t really safe yet. He has to beat KC at home or all hell is gonna break loose. He's only not "safe" amongst a portion of posters on here who don't live in reality. The same kind of posters who honestly thought Matt Araiza coming back in the Playoffs was a real possibility. Truth is he always has had a secure position. Even if we missed the playoffs, by all accounts, he was going to be given another year. The only real chance of a switch would have been if he lost the team and Josh said he didn't want to play under him anymore. Instead, the team rallied around him after the Ty Dunne hit piece and support him now more than ever. After 6 straight wins, another division title, and another Playoff win - he's 1000% not going anywhere after this season. You can hope otherwise, but it doesn't matter. It's not happening. Regardless of whether we win or lose against KC. Edited January 19 by BillsFanForever19 13 7 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 We need to save this thread. Theres a 95 percent chance McD would hire Rivera. It’s likely already in the works. He already signaled that he’d be ok being an assistant or coordinator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I can see McD hiring him as an assistant, but why give up being the DC when his defense has done this well amongst a boat load of injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 2 hours ago, QCity said: He's safe. He's always been safe. Rightly or wrongly, anyone who thinks McDermott is anywhere near the hot seat is either: - Completely delusional in understanding his job safety with the Bills as a coach or - Has it in for McDermott and wishes for him to be replaced. He’s not going anywhere, Pegula loves the relationship with McD, he trusts him and is very comfortable working with him, not to mention that McD has taken the Bills to the playoffs 5 out of 6 years and has won the division 4 straight years. 3 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way he was getting fired here this year is if, from 6-6, the team quit on him and collapsed down the stretch. If we'd finished 6-11 instead of 11-6 and it looked like he had lost the locker room then all bets would have been off. But that didn't happen.

The mentality of the 'fire McDermott' crowd is beyond stupid. I guess if a team doesn't win the Superbowl within 5 years or so, the head coach should be dismissed. Brilliant. Of course, there's never any real solution offered by those voices. Just "fire the coach". The NFL landscape is littered with fired coaches who were sure-fire candidates from the coordinator ranks. Who's your answer? What can't miss coach is coming to Buffalo? Are you such a gambler that you'll put all your chips on a coordinator with no track record over the guy who's led his team into the playoff in 6 out of 7 seasons? Maybe you'd prefer a retread like Belichick or Carroll. No thanks. Personally, I wouldn't make that bet. The better odds are that we'd be right back to the good old days of wishing we made the playoffs. Compare the past 7 years of Bills football to the previous 17. At least we've had a chance! We've had a very entertaining team we can be proud of. The Bills under McDermott have fielded a competitive squad every year under his guidance. They've developed mid-round players into valuable contributors. Free agents want to come to Buffalo. He has the respect of those who play under him. We have a team that should be competitive every year. I'm grateful that the revolving door of Jauron, Mularkey, Williams, Ryan, etc. is a distant memory. Be thankful that we have someone a classy as McDermott leading our Bills today and for the foreseeable future. You may not realize it yet, but these are the good old days Edited January 18 by SoMAn 6 4 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
