As a long, long time Bills fan, please do not fire McDermott.
Yes, this is not our year, we have issues, there is work to do this offseason schematically and on the roster.
But does no one remember the carousel of coaches this franchise has endured? McDermott is our second longest tenured coach. He has the best win% of any coach in franchise history. He consistently has put a competitive playoff team together despite many roster and injury woes.
Since 1998 we’ve had 9 different head coaches and bounced around being .500 for two decades. We are not a “rebuild” team right now. Firing McD leaves us with no HC, OC, or DC going into the offseason. And for what? What do we gain from that?
This team has performed at a Super Bowl caliber with McD at the helm. This year we are not, but we know what the potential is and what he can do with a healthy roster.
Can we please not be reactionary for once, go into the offseason, get an OC that schemes to Allen’s strength, add some WR depth, and figure out a way to keep our defense healthy?
Thanks for being a reasonable bills fan. If it makes you feel any better, the people who are calling for McDermotts head are new fans or ones who haven’t experienced the previous coaching carousel like you said.
Just ignore them. It’s the first mediocre season in the last 5 years. Pretty solid if you ask me. Even with our star defensive players out.
