Warren Sharp outlines the multiple decisions over multiple years by Sean McDermott that led to the Buffalo Bills struggling in 2023 and firing OC Ken Dorsey.
You know what none of those coaches had? a franchise QB. How much does mcdermott really mean to the success of the team, versus how much allen means to the success of the team? Are you sure mcdermott isn’t just “along for the ride” with allen?
As a guy who knows McD has been the best coach since Levy, and has a lot of respect for him as a man and what he’s done for the franchise, I do think it’s time to move on from him. Arguable rankings aside, we have one of the best QBs in the league, and a lot of playmakers on both sides of the ball. We could viably attract the best coaching candidates on the market. Who could we attract when our QB options were JP Losman and Kelly Holcomb? If there’s any time to move on, it’s now.
