  1. 1. Which is more likely in McDermott’s next HC role?

    • He lasts 3 years or less & doesn’t win a playoff game
    • He’s lasts 5 years or more and appears in a Super Bowl

Because of the 2 extreme choices, I went with 3 years or less and fired. My rationale is this. If you give him a league average QB... which is the statistical probability, since it's league average, his style of football is much more likely to NOT get to a SB with that person than he is to get to a SB with that person. Since option B is contingent on him making it to a SB, I just can't see that happening. You could argue that the only possible exchange he could have made with Allen to improve his odds might... might... have been Mahomes, but I don't think it would have made a difference because he is very stubborn about how he plays the game and I don't think Mahomes changes that. I don't think he gets fired in 3 or less, but I think it's more probable than him going to a SB unless he catches lightning in a bottle twice at QB.

I don’t think it’s a given that McDermott will coach again.  I don’t think he’s viewed as highly around the league as some people here think. Some guys who take a year off never come back.

it isn't

 

and he isn't

McD’s IMO was unfairly based relentlessly here and in the media.  The guy turned us from a laughing stock to one of the best teams in the NFL.  Was it time to move on, maybe, but to think he can’t recreate success with another team is crazy.

 

My middle son, I stated as its a long story became a Cards fan at age 7.  McD’s would be perfect for a team like AZ.  Change the culture, find a QB, and build a team with a competent GM.  The GM like Beane buys an O Line, and creates time for a young QB to develop.  McD’s has figured out how to beat young opposing QBs and he seems to find the recipe in his to beat certain teams like Lamar.

 

He may never win a SB, but he sure knows how to build a winning program.

 

Im not saying it may have been time to promote Brady, but we just have to wait and see.  I’m not judging at this point, and really don’t want to rehash all the I hate McD’s stuff.

He'll win a Super Bowl with another team just because that's the most Billsy outcome.

Only if we finally make a SB and a McD-coached Giants beat us.

I disagree. Given his age and his record, the offers will come in. And yes, I think he's in a position to pick and choose opportunities: where he wants to coach, the type of team he wants to take over. I would guess a smaller city (Panthers are just too obvious) and a young team. Just like the Bills situation when he took over here.

i've said it since the 13 seconds game

 

the guy is a mediocre HC who lucked into a weak division and squandered one of the greatest QBs to ever play football. that's his footnote in the history books

pretty much this- and he'll do it with a much lesser QB, and will finish off the game with an improbable defensive stop...

 

its the only way it will go.  Then TBD will lose it collective mind...

HOF caliber QB, consistent division winner, never won (got to?) a Super Bowl over the course of 5+ seasons. Who else fits those criteria?

I can't think of anyone.

This is your obligatory Public Service Announcement that Andy Reid took 21 years with 2 teams to win a Superbowl.


Did only take Reid 6 years to get to a Superbowl and lose it, though.

You forgot to add he will do it with either the Pats, Dolphins or Jets.

to the question, he'd be perfect for a 3 year stretch with a franchise that is looking to change and install a winning culture... then the next guy can take that team the next step.  He is John Fox Jr, and that isn't bad, its just not good enough.

LOL, it would have to be!  I'd say the Dolphins would be the worst, followed by the Jets and Pats.   

 

I could totally see this happening... it would be as you say, Billsy AF

He should be listed in the annals of professional football with only a link to the 13 seconds debacle... it sums his time up here nicely...

That sounds about right. I call it The Scotty Bowman Effect.

As a coach he Won 5 Stanley Cup NHL championships with Montreal, then coached the Sabres for seven seasons (never making the cup finals).  After leaving Buffalo, he won 4 more Stanley Cup championships between two other teams.

 

Buffalo is cursed. 

this makes me cry and i am not even a hockey fan (except when Sabres are in playoffs)😆😆😆
