What are the chances McDermott gets a HC gig next year?

[hepcat]

He's currently coaching one of the top defenses in the league.  He's young.  Seems like there will be a good number of open HC gigs this offseason.  Tampa and Minnesota for sure, maybe the NYG, plus a slew of teams that might tank and fire their coach.  On the short list: Washington, St. Louis, Houston, and Tennessee.  And then there could be the wildcard team that fires their coach even after a winning season like Chicago did last year.  This might be an offseason with a lot of teams needing a head coach, maybe Carolina included.  I'm worried McDermott, playoffs or not here in Carolina, will likely be coaching somewhere else next year.  And probably as a head coach.

too young still

If Rivera stays, I'll be confident in the defense even if Mcderp leaves.

 

 

 

 

 

edit:  hell, with the playmakers we have on D it'd take a special kind of fail to fug it up

[Razeyfingers]

Im very curious about this. Im not sure I understand how it works. Some young guys get jobs some dont. What is it that tells you when he's ready?

 

edit: a very wise dude I work for has told me that the only way you know is this "Do-ers do", you cant tell until you throw em in and let em swim. Still assessing this.

Doubtful we havent won against a good team yet and even if we continue to play well he will need to have more evidence hes a top tier coach 1 season wont do it

[mav1234]

this is really the first year we've had a good defense.

 

chud was known for being good with O's and had 2 consecutive years with a good O before he got a job... I think mcd will need to show a bit more

After we win the Superbowl.

I'd say if he stays, and next year we have a stellar defense again, then he would get a head coaching gig. I'm not worried about it either way. I think Washington or Wilks could fill in nicely.

[Zaximus]

Probably too young and people will probably wonder how much Rivera is involved with the D.

[Happy Panther]

I don't think he has an extensive enough resume yet but eventually he will be scooped up

[frash.exe]

McDermott will be a head coach someday

Could be next year, the turnover rate for HCs has gotten progressively higher. Every off season it seems like 8 teams are looking for new coaches

[Peppers90 NC]

he'll get looks, but i doubt a hire, yet.  but then again, if Chud got a gig, anyone could.

[Snake]

Young OCs have better shot than DCs in the NFL right now. Also I really dont think I have ever heard him say he wanted to be a coach. Some people are just happy being a DC.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't think he has a realistic shot.

But I said that about Chudzinski last year, so... :unsure:
