Sean McDermott

[beastson]

Is it me or does it seem like out of all 3 coaches, his job is the least one in jeopardy at this moment. I remember when we wanted his head, but one thing I like about him is he seem to be very passionate about what he do. He's also the youngest, he's not even 40 yet and has energy I only dream Rivera would have. He'll make adjustments if something isn't working the best. I do however tend to wonder if it was his decision would he choose Martin over Nakamura, cause I know that's a Rivera call

[Jackofalltrades]

The D has shown a lot of improvement for sure. Having your starters back helps and we also don't know how much influence Rivera has at this point.

[CatMan72]

I suspect Rivera has taken over the defensive gameplanning... it's the only thing that explains our sudden, drastic improvement.

I remember reading a few weeks back,were Rivera said he was going to take a bigger role in the deffense.

If that's the case the question should be .. why did he take so long?

[jarhead]

In my opinion he is doing more with less versus Chud. Lets face it with our secondary especially the safeties he is not working with the necessary talent

[La Pantera]

Idk. I think it was after the Giants game. We gave up an opening scoring drive every game to that point. We haven't gave up one since. We're also #6 in redzone D. IIRC. So id say he's had more of a role since week 4. We aren't giving up a lot of points BUT it seems we're always giving up the late game winnig drive.

Last year when everyone was ready to hang him, and even early this year, it seemed to me people didn't give him a fair shake. Too many assumed that just because he got run out of Philly, he was no good. He was a scapegoat there just like Castillo.

I'm not ready to anoint him as a savior, but he has been the least of our problems.

If Ron is gone, Sean is gone.

[CatMan72]

If that's the case the question should be .. why did he take so long?

I agree that it took too long, but as a leader you have to give subordinates a chance to do their job before you step in and take over... I suspect McDermott won't be around much longer.

[gamecocks722]

He has done a solid job especially with the Secondary situation that has about 3 years experience total. The CB's are undersized/young/rookies and they are still getting the job done.

Good job coaching team defense.

[Jackofalltrades]

In that case, you can also give props to Brian Murphy, who I wanted run out of town for the performance of ST's. However, outside of Adams, they haven't made any real mistakes.

He has better talent in his front 7 this year. I think THAT explains a lot.

no, they were both terrible.
