billsfan89 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I feel for McD to get seemingly ousted in a power struggle for the guy you brought in. But I also think you simply have to be in the organization to really understand if the promotion of Beane makes sense or not. If you are seeing that on 80% of the teams misses McD is the one whose advocating for those players and on some of the better moves you are seeing Beane is more responsible for it then well you are looking at a situation where you can understand thinking McD is the bigger piece of failure here. I tend to agree you fire both but also this is not a full tear down either. I think you have to have some sense of continuity too. You have a soon to be 30 year old running QB, there's no build for 2028 happening here. You have to retool the roster as best you can around Josh and a new coach. So if you are constantly seeing Beane as the one making the good moves and McD more often pushing for the bad ones then well I get it? Will it work? Who knows... 1 Quote

They were a play away from playing the Pats to go to the Super Bowl, who we beat this season. How can you have him as the coach if five weeks ago he’s complaining they don’t have enough, rather than figuring out how to win with what he does have? Looks like he knew he was on the hot seat and was looking for a scapegoat? 🤔 McDermott knew his time was coming to an end, you can tell by his comments leading up to the playoffs and his comments about the officiating after the playoff loss.

We’ll know one thing soon based on the draft and free agency……if McDermott wanted this roster constructed this way or if Beane wanted it this way. If our personnel strategy looks way different or very similar to the past few years we’ll have our answers. I actually believe Beane and the new HC are gonna go all in this offseason just for the simple fact of trying to prove that McDermott was the issue. Could fail or it could get us over the top…..at least it’s something to get excited about! Quote

The pointed public comments about Jacoby Myers were weird and now make sense. 1 1 Quote
