TD alt

I mean, it's still one of the best jobs that one could have, only 32 in the world. Tom Pelissero said to watch for Sean McDermott at that very same job on Rich Eisen yesterday, & extolling the virtues of the job and why McDermott might end up there. They wanted Saleh however. I can't wait to see what he does. This is his last chance to be HC more than likely. He'll get that defense up and running again, no doubt. What will probably be key is his hire for OC.

I heard on ESPN or Fox Sports, that Beane's role has actually been expanded. He's President of Football Operations, but he still retains his role as GM.

I would give that illustrious characteristic/title to X, formerly known as Twitter. Well, maybe so called social media in general. X is just the top, or the bottom...

Also, I will say @kungfoodude, AI is not inherently a bad thing, especially within the context of the Internet, searching and aggregating information. You just have to realize that in its current iteration, it's not error free, so you have to check the sources, but the better it gets the more accurate it should get. It doesn't replace critical thinking, it's a tool in order to aid critical thinking. Just because someone uses AI to gather information doesn't make them wrong. It could make them "lazy" in the sense that they should double-check the veracity of information and sometimes they don't. But, AI is a tool, at least for now, and that's really the concept behind AI: to aid humanity. It may be a wondrous thing a century from now.

Nah, just a modern world full of typos with the emergence of texting while doing other things

I mean, I was accused of "simping" for the guy, so...The Huddle gonna Huddle. I guess people's feelings are genuinely hurt that McDermott got the axe. Like AI explained in the other thread, it's unfortunate, but he was the HC for players that underperformed time and time again during crunch time (much like B-more for Harbaugh). Even owners get tired sometimes and perceive that a change is needed. Coaches are generally the ones that are fired in these situations, especially when teams really are championship-caliber.

Dolphins hire Jeff Hafley as HC. https://www.nfl.com/news/jeff-hafley-dolphins-hire-packers-dc-next-head-coach There were several interested teams, including the Steelers.

TERRIBLE throw by Beck! Could've been a TD.

Dumb penalty time

Let him end it.

I just hate being too conservative near the end. McVay's pussy play calling near the end of regulation should've lost them the game last night.

Miami is about toast.

Do you guys hate Dan Morgan. Give the guy a break for his first draft. He did take the future OROY last year.

Becker is a beast. Mendoza has that faith. Great chemistry.

Another first and time will become a factor for the Hurricanes.

He still has a lot of learning and growing to do. If he does, I can see a first in his future.

The game's not over. Neither team or coach are scrubs. I don't know where some people may be getting that idea.

Holding on Marion

Tom Brady has got to be smiling after that.

They can put a hand on them as long as they don't change their path. Mendoza had a lot of desire on that TD.

We'll see if Mendoza learns from his mistake. I can see pros baiting him to get INTs by playing off.

Damn good play calls on the last drive by Miami. A little misdirection and fakes by Beck.

People are just acting like he hasn't put together a talented roster, but it was still good enough to be in contention for a Super Bowl for most of his time there including this year. The fact is is that from Albert Breer and other sources, Sean McDermott had virtually just as much power as Beane did. It was a collaboration. All that being said, it's not even really worth discussing, as Beane is in Buffalo, an established GM, and still highly regarded in league circles based upon the same body of work which some Huddlers are being hypercritical about. We have Dan. I like Dan. He improved from year one to year two, and hopefully he continues to help the franchise progress.

So you say, but we'll never know. We do know that there are seven head coaching jobs available (which is not surprising) and one GM job available, and with how relatively fast head coaching positions are generally filled, it wouldn't be surprising at all for Sean McDermott to get hired. That's just the nature of the beast. If there were seven GM jobs available and Beane just magically got the axe, he would likely be hired as well. He has done a good job as GM over his tenure, and I think that's pretty much indisputable. McDermott has done a good job as a head coach. I think that's pretty much indisputable as well. Trying to blame one or the other more or less for the Bills lack of getting to the championship is not cut-and-dried. I think most of it falls on the players choking and lack of execution. Just the way I see it.

You see, y'all are saying this, but they basically had equal power on personnel decisions. McDermott was the one coaching and couldn't get it done. I don't know why that's so difficult for people to deal with. And it's not like they didn't have enough to win the Super Bowl (for several years), McDermott just couldn't get it done. I agree that Allen had a bad game. Fumbling the ball and giving away three points was bad, but they probably should've just taken a knee anyway (which speaks squarely to coaching).
