Will McD ever have a coaching tree?

Miracle ? The Bills handled business against Miami in week 17 and won the necessary games to get in as the Wildcard. Only because it was one of the last games of the regular season the Bengals game was so dramatic. It would’ve been the same result if it happened in week 9. 
 

I don’t think people hear how difficult it is to change the culture of a historically losing franchise. Go ask the Jets how much they would love a coach like McDermott. I get the criticism, but I hate when people try to take away his accomplishments. 

 

They had one in Todd Bowles but let him go.

Which is my point. You can have the right coach (Bowles) and/or the right QB (Sam Darnold or even Rodgers) yet that’s still not a guarantee to turn things around.

As long as Johnson owns the Jets they are going nowhere. He is in the running for worst owner in all of sports.

Dabs is part of that tree, that's it though.

 

Doesn't mean a ton, Belicheck's tree is pretty awful looking. 

I will admit, I thought the list of OCs that JA has gotten HC jobs would be higher.

curious why you wouldn’t consider Dabs or Brady as part of his tree? 

Maybe because they built a fairly substantial resume prior to being part of the McProcess staff?

McDermotts coaching tree ?

I would argue that if you are an assistant under a successful head coach and then after that, directly go to be a head coach, you are considered “part of that tree.” 
 

Bit of a silly and pointless debate, but that seems like a decent general rule.
