IndyMark Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Hmmm, interesting to ponder. A great football man? I wonder, what are your thoughts on this: (a) his peculiar affinity for bringing back Jordan Phillips, Shaq Lawson, and AJ Klein at the expense of younger player development (b) his minimal utilization of rookies with very few exceptions (c) his clear and narrow definition of "his guys" (Terrell Bernard as starting ILB as one example) (d) his frequent and inexplicable use of defensive timeouts that appear to help the offense more than the defense (not 100% but more than not), additionally, calling a defensive timeout when the opposition, who was losing was ready to end the game with a kneel down (e) The oversight / philosophy toward the coaching of our interior defensive line over the years (f) 13 seconds (g) losing to Urban Meyer (h) his leadership of our team at Atlanta and Miami this season (i) the repeated slow starts and painful first halfs that we have all been accustomed to (j) he coached to not lose way more frequently then he coached to win (sure it got better over the last 7 years, but as I type that that is actually a slow time frame to evolve and finally and most notably (k) his inability to notice that the "complementary football" he espoused over the years actually limited our generational talent at QB and that his speciality (DEF) consistently was the reason that type of thinking failed us. I do fully agree with your assertion of him being a good man. I think any of us would enjoy him as a neighbor. He certainly is a good guy. But, I disagree that he would succeed being in charge of a NFL football team. 3 1
Winnebago Man Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) McD seems like a genuinely good man. He cultivated a great culture in Buffalo. Unfortunately, being a great guy and cultivating a great culture does not mean you have the other requisite intangibles to win a championship. You can feel for the man, who I believe gave us his very best effort, while also acknowledging that it was time to move on. There have just been too many let-downs and "we'll get 'em next years" Two things can be true at the same time. Edited January 21 by Winnebago Man 5 1

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 21 Posted January 21 They should have done the exact thing that they did. For all the people running to shelter McD, he’s available. Same with all the people around the league acting like this was some sort of malpractice. He’s available. Hire him. By all mean, please do. I hope it’s an AFC team
