Have no idea who that could be at this point or if there is anyone out there that could fit this description. This is what leads me to belichick because who else could fit that. I know it’s not likely but doesn’t it also make sense in a lot of ways? 1 1 Quote
Walking Tall Posted January 21 Posted January 21 1 hour ago, QB Bills said: Damage control at this point. They likely didn't anticipate the blowback from the fans. Which is ridiculous enough, considering how much heat Beane has been under this season. Seriously worried about the future direction of this team. Yet you made this post three nights ago when talking about Josh crying. 1 4 Quote

Like 'those loveable losers shouldn't have fired that nice man!' As if it's our destiny to somehow just accept being not quite good enough. Um no ***** that we get to try to win SBs too just like the rest of you They may be wrong for sure haha but the national media always saw mcd as better than this board did. Really not surprised at all by the reaction but the reaction doesn’t prove anything obviously. its really a business with razor thin margins though which nobody even really considers the reverse of when something ‘shocking’ happens. I see some of ‘if x happened they’re in the afc championship and they fired their coach?’ but nobody goes backwards and says if ‘y happened they’re out in the first round and maybe the firing is better received’ as someone that liked mcd probably more than most here I think a firing after a close loss to jax probably would’ve been received ok in the sports media world and I wouldn’t have been surprised. that was extremely close to happening I really wasn’t sure if that win was enough to save him.. beating Denver even in that messy game might’ve not sure Edited January 21 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote
BillsShredder83 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 50 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: It isn't about the hype or tribute video or whatever. It is about them putting out a sloppy statement with spelling mistakes and then them not being willing to put out McDermott's statement on team channels and he had to get that to the fans through the media. After 9 years and all he has done he deserved better on both scores. Tribute video be damned. I agree with this overall, truly, it is kinda puzzling....... with that said ITS TIME FOR FOOTBALL FIRST. Icing tastes like s*** if its not on a cake.

Mango Posted January 21 Posted January 21 10 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: I think it's Terry stepping away from being a part of the process and let the football guys make football decisions. I guess he believes more in Beane than McDermott. Let's hope so. But if you're right it would be a HUGE shift for Pegula. Quote
TBBills Fan Posted January 21 Posted January 21 59 minutes ago, ColoradoBills said: I have been a McDermott supporter his entire tenure. It has become apparent that a change was needed. That change when evaluated by the people in charge and they said it was his time. I didn't see anyone worrying about me when after 33 years of service my company was bought out by an international corporation and they cut a huge swath of us out of engineering. We built the company! People get let go every day. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT. Its business. Did the ***** at least give you a watch? Quote

F&*K we fired the wrong guy In all seriousness if you did this Pegula you should of shytcanned Beane too. It was a cumulative failure. Wipe it clean and start over.

Um no ***** that we get to try to win SBs too just like the rest of you Man you've been on fire lately, and even caught me off guard with the "I bet McDaniels and Josh would - 'get along'" post earlier LOL Idgaf what the National Media wants us to be. In fact I want to run the damn table so much ppl are sick of us. I want to have ppl call me a bandwagon fan walking around in NC with my Bills hat on. I'm so sick of the shade Buffalo gets. The crying Allen meme's going around. I hope he sees those and gets God dang laser eyes with the confidence a new coach will bring in Im reallyyyyy warming up to the Davis Webb train honestly, although I wish he hadnt played here. Taking a Mark McGuire type swing is the only way a team lands a Sean McVay type coach. Kubiak would be great too, but less boom or bust there it feels like. IDK, I hope we knock this outta the park and land a future enemy of 31 other cities, and win Chips by 37points. *ANGER!* 1 Quote

And we don't have a locker room full of soft wussies We have had plenty of hood players, players who have been arrested.. it's not all choir boys These are grown men in a gladiator sport.. they're not Tom from choir Edited January 21 by Buffalo716 Quote

Big Blitz Posted January 21 Posted January 21 This was planned - did you expect this the day they fired him. Come on. Let’s understand this organization still has class and will continue to going forward. Quote
zow2 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Maybe the firing happened a day or two before it was even planned? maybe they had the annual sit down post mortem meetings and stuff went completely sideways, words were exchanged and they just all said, best of luck to ya this is done right now. It all seemed quicker than maybe it was supposed to be. Quote
oldmanfan Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Glad to see this. McD deserved a nice tribute from the organization. 2 Quote

PonyBoy Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Someone posted it here on TBD already, but he had 9 years, Allen on a rookie contract, extension & no SB appearances. Beane is extremely accountable too. He needs to go for the same reason. Changed the culture for sure, but no appearances? As a fan, I'll take my chances with the next regime. Quote

Blank Stare Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Damn that’s a lot of culture and process walking out that door. Love what McD built as the foundation. Next coach better be locked in and ready day 1 to take it and run. Quote
Nihilarian Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I sure as hell hope that Beane gets this new hire right and that man hires the right assistants. Then he gets it right in free agency and the draft, as it's now 100% on him. I know several new stadium season ticket holders who are very, very concerned right now about the future of this franchise. Quote
