Go on record... Fire McDermott?

[LarryMadman]

Short of a Super Bowl run you absolutely can not run this back again. I have a sneaking suspicion Josh is getting irritated or has been there for a while, that it is Ground Hog Day to him, and something new needs to be tried. He'll play the good soldier until he is fed up and he will be the one calling for change. Hopefully he gives TPegs an ultimatum McBeane needs to leave or i'm leaving.

I've been a big McDermott supporter, I've watched the Bills for 50 years, so I know just how bad things can get. But...it's time. It's clear we are not going to get over the hump. I'm nervous that the next move might not work out, but with Josh now hitting 30, we have to take the chance. After the season McDermott needs to be fired.

McDermott era must end, enough of his defense.

100% has outstayed his welcome, and his expiration date is long overdue. Everyone can see what is happening here. Getting us into the playoffs doesn't give one a lifetime achievement award. 

 

Beane needs to go with him. Total overhaul. 

[Jay_Fixit]

Should have happened 3 years ago.

 

Good motivator. 
Good defensive coordinator.

Likeable guy.

GREAT at clapping.

Bad head coach.

He's clearly lost the locker room. A lot of these guys look like they've packed it in for the year. Our start QB committed zero time in the offseason to football. You can tell he did not train, thought he'd made it once he won the MVP and could just stroll out there. He's playing like it's 2018. The rest of them team is playing like it's 2010.

IMO, you cannot be scared to move on, worried about who will replace him. That's playing scared. That's McDermott's philosophy, and now it makes sense why people in that headspace want to keep him. People are afraid to lose. McDermott is afraid to lose. You can't live that way. Get busy living or get busy dying...this thing has been fading away for years now.

 

And that seems to be the sentiment. We all pretty much know he sucks, and deep down know he won't win the big game. And the fanbase seems to be split into a group that knows he sucks but is afraid to move on and a group that wants a different voice. Then have your few loyalists who give him cart blanche because he ended the drought. 

 

He isn't it, and it will never happen with him. It does not matter who you hire because in this situation, different is better. He's a terrible head coach. 

 

Does anyone really, truly, deep down believe that we can win a Super Bowl with this guy at the helm?

We are badly losing games to guys like Davis Mills who is a backup and Tua who is basically out of the playoffs already. 
 

Can it REALLY get worse?

It cannot. That's the realization I had.
