Sean McDermott Fired

[MechaZain]

I live in NY and local fans have been calling for his head for a few years now.  "Defensive specialist with a MVP quarterback but he gets outcoached in the playoffs every year." Very similar to us with Ron, funny enough.

While this is shocking news, anyone who thinks he'll take a DC position,  is lying to themselves. 

100%.  If he chooses to coach next year, he will have a contract lined up with a team.  IMO I think he'll take a year away before coming back.  Hes not gonna go to a place thats in shambles (Cleveland or Miami), I doubt he takes something like Tennessee because its far more disfunctional than people say (They fuging fired Mike Vrabel after trading away AJ Brown and Derrick Henry then wonder why they suck).  IMO, IFFF mcdermott takes a position itd be baltimore or surprisingly Las Vegas (gets to hand pick his #1 overall QB and a bajillion dollars in cap room to fix the roster)...maaayyybe Pittsburgh because I think the structure and organization would fit him.

So Dave if you could go ahead and slide on over to OC... yeah... that'd be great

Ruthless.

In some ways I can see the criticism of McDermott. The Bills have choked in the playoffs a lot. But I don't see them upgrading from him. In all likelihood they will downgrade.

Yeah the guy that actually has this team trending upward . Yall love everyone else trash except ya own lol 

I think a lot of folks remember him very fondly from his time here as DC during that 15-1 season and the Super Bowl appearance. 

Not trying to knock Canales, he's showing some promise, but he's still a young and unproven coach when compared. We aren't making any kind of trade, but...

That overall roster has been trending downward for awhile now.

I don't get while some of y'all are saying this. Every roster goes through its ebb and flows. The Bills, at least in my mind, were a receiver away this season. Now why Beane/McDermott never felt the need to move up and get a receiver in the draft, I don't know, but you can't do everything. They're overall defense has been ranked fairly highly for the last five years, and their offense has been top five for that same period.

Beane has been a good GM, arguably just as good as McDermott has been as coach. They've certainly had Championship contending rosters. It sucks, but the HC is generally the fall guy in those types of situations.

It depends on who they hire. It wouldn't be the first time another HC has come in and gotten a team over the hump. But, yeah, most owners are only going to wait so long to make a change they're getting similar results year after year with championship-caliber rosters, especially if they perceive the pressure of a closing window.

he couldn’t win it with Josh Allen . WTH he gonna do with Bryce lol . Yes i love Mcd but as a Defensive coordinator but he’s not coming here for that job .  he deserves another shot at HC.

Points allowed ranking over the past 4 years: 2nd, 4th, 11th, 12th

Over the past two seasons, they've basically slid to an upper middle of the pack defense while their offense has trended more and more toward the "save me Superman QB" stuff we did with Cam. Their overall roster has absolutely been trending downward.

Gentrified Cam Newton keeps failing his team and getting no heat for it. Excuses every step of the way and now got the best HC that franchise will see in decades fired
