This was definitely a reason to fire mcdermott

We lost this game directly due to coaching, 12 men on the field is a fireable offense

If players practice FG Block… they know if they should be on the field or not. McD said they practice going from dime to FG B . Was Hamlin out there?

It might be for special teams coordinator, just like 13 seconds.

Oh you can best believe if there’s another human shield around to deflect blame, Marty will find him

Damn do we ever need a better punter is Paul Maguire still around?

That field position thing matters a lot.

ST's were just awful the entire game.

FTR McDermott isn't going anywhere, and I doubt they'll make any coaching changes at all mid-season.

If this doesn't turn around Dorsey and Smiley will be gone after the season, maybe they re-vamp the entire staff on the offensive side of the ball, but McD will claim his focus on the defensive side of the ball took away time and effort he should have been using on the offense and he'll give the DC responsibilities to Washington.

Sean is here until at least the bye week next season.

Most likely, but if I’m the owner, I’m seriously considering cleaning house now to send a message that this is unacceptable

Or what Jerry Sloan used to call it - "jackpotting around".

Yep that fits JA

You mention Jerry Sloane. The last couple of years I’ve been equating McDermot with Sloane…nice guy, good enough coach but always an also runner, never collecting the prize for himself and his team even with incredible talent to work with.

Now I realize that I was very wrong, as Sloane was up against not one but two Goats in Jordan and Phil Jackson and still came close to the prize.

Mcdermott is not battling the best of all time talent like Sloane did and not only hasn’t he taken us to the promised land but he’s actually taking us further away.

Depends.

To me it's an validation of what I've been saying since summer.

One man, no matter how good he is, cannot coach the defense and the entire team.....it's way too much for one man to handle.

Even Belechek didn't have that kind of hubris.

This isn't 1952, and McDermott is no Paul Brown.

It's details like this that are getting missed.

HC/DC is not a winning formula. This fan base deserved better. Hire an assistant HC if you have to.
