Head Coach Search - Interviews

Margins and variance are what they are, Bills were a questionable INT call from winning this weekend
I would pay much more attention to McDermott's overall record than the non SB appearances

All fans blame officials; but 5 turnovers against the team that earned homefield turned the lights out on Buffalo's post season. We can dance all around it but I think an honest self-evaluation from the Bills is a better idea.
Buffalo was the team with the well experienced defensive minded HC and their defense did NOTHING to win that game IMO. Look at Denver's 1st drive - a dropped TD pass by Denver kept Buffalo in the game better than Buffalo's defense was willing to. Denver drove right down the field on that Defense.
So many playoff departures since Josh Allen has been leading Buffalo to the post season is usually the result of Buffalo scoring late to go ahead with Buffalo's defense failing to keep the lead in the closing seconds. This WOULD have been a good day for Buffalo's defense to bail Josh out for once in a post season; but they weren't up to the task.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
“It wouldn’t be surprising for the Browns to call about McDermott. They interviewed him for their head coach vacancy in 2016 when they ultimately settled on Hue Jackson, who was fired midway through the 2018 season with a 3-36-1 record. Former Browns Chief Strategy Officer Paul DePodesta, former GM Sashi Brown (now [Baltimore] Ravens president) and Andrew Berry, then-Browns vice president of player personnel and GM, preferred McDermott. But Browns ownership, led by Jimmy Haslam, favored Jackson,” Mary Kay Cabot wrote.
------------
So, does this surprise anyone?
Our friggin' idiot, crook, owner is our main problem.
edit to add: I know that we all hated DePodesta...but perhaps he was actually a voice of reason on some issues. He also didn't want that BillHilly Kitchens as HC but instead wanted Stefanski. But, of course, we wound up with Kitchens for a year before DePo got his man...who became a two time coach of the year.
And now DePo abandoned ship mid-season. Apparently, he'd had enough of 'Talking To The Cat'. - One of my favorite Faulty Towers lines - I might as well talk to the cat!

Buffalo's D gave up 199 points in their last 6 playoff games, unacceptable. McD is a defensive coach.
I don't really know what to think regarding the Bills anymore. It does remind me a bit of what's going on here- the coach gets canned while the GM remains.
Life isn't fair, we know this. But isn't the GM supposed to supply the HC with the adequate players to build a winning team? I think McD got scapegoated here. The Bills were nothing, eternally 7-9 ish until he got there. 17 straight seasons with no playoffs.
So was it McD who brought them out of the doldrums, or Josh Allen? The front office must think it's Allen.
If the Bills go less than 12-5, and don't go to the Super Bowl in 2027, then there was no point in firing him IMHO.
EDIT: I don't know if you guys read the Bills' press release, but somebody really screwed up....misspelled the word admirable and had "admiral" instead lol.

Buffalo's GM (Brandon Beane) not only remains but he also got promoted in the organization beyond just being the GM. He is now he is now the GM and President of Football Operations. Think about it - the team lost with a lot of Beane's personnel choices. Beane got the promotion & raise while the HC playing the gridiron chess with those choices got the boot.

Would McDermott even entertain a position here? I can't imagine we're going to get anyone other than some 30 year old coordinator with no HC experience. Can't say I'm excited about it.

It's going to take a remarkable sales job to bring in a veteran coach.
McDaniel already told the Browns "no" on his anticipated 2nd interview.
Players talk, coaches talk among themselves too. Sadly, the Browns only have a perception of a losing culture.
Sounds like McD was basically fired 5 weeks ago per reports. He told his staff he would bring them with him if he got another gig.

Sure. Because why would anyone want to work for the Haslam families when there are plenty of other options?

after haslams' watson horrendous debacle, yeah, what established coach would want to come here? the arrogant haslams should sell the team to a DECENT owner. I'm still glad steflunksi is gone. They were talking tonight on the radio, I was running a few errands.... about if others picked Atlanta or the Browns to get to the playoffs first. Three in a row that I heard....picked Atlanta - the primary reason being the haslams are screwups.

I'm not broken hearted at all about this news.
McDaniel is not a leader of men.
That's not at the top of everyone's list in 2026, but it's still important to me.

At what point does Schwartz feel insulted by Dumb and Dumber in this HC search? He really needed 2 interviews?PROMOTE the guy already and let him hire his OC.
